Chicago's Very Own thread

Hello, I am a Chicago guy so I would like to start a Chicago thread so maybe we can help each other out by letting Chicago area cheapasses find cheap deals.



-Saturday, April 5 at 3PM Dunaly's on the Square 3137 W. Logan Blvd.-



7/31/2007
Would anyone be interested in a CAG Chicago meet up at game works (in woodfield)? They have a special for $10 on thursday for all you can play from 9 to midnight.

More info here: http://www.gameworks.com/events_deta...?location_id=6

GO WHITE SOX AND CUBBIES! Maybe next year!

I'm down for that, man!!

Ok so what do we do?

Is their anyplace in Chicago where you recommend to check out for cheap games?

Okay, I am in on this, but we have to agree to share the wealth, because I have scavengered the following locations:
Ford City Target
2000 Cicero Target
South Pulaski Target
Elston Target
31st gamestop
Roosevelt/Canal Gamestop
Cermak Gamestop
Ford City Best Buy
Ford City Circuit City
Clybourn Best Buy
Clybourn Circuit City

I have quite a few penny guides up for trade as well as a few games I'd be willing to part with. in general the Targets have treated me well, but you have got to be diligent about checking the clearance rack and scanning things and asking questions...I'd be happy to post what I've got and to discuss with whoever ways to organize our cheap asses together.

Okay then. Post away bub. Lately I just go to a few stores:

Matteson Target
Matteson GAmestop
Matteson EB (sucks Horribly)
Homewood Target

But sometime I go North Riverside Mall (when I'm unfortunely broke) and fing good stuff there.

Chicago Ridge Mall's Gamestop, EB and Two indy stores. The one across the Instant Replay (I think) sells imports.

I'll think of more good to decent places.

Do any of you guys live around Wilmette/Winnetka/Evanston/Kenilworth/Skokie?

Not me! SOUTHSIDE!!!!

Northside! I've found some cheap stuff at the Evanston Target.

I found a opened copy of sly cooper at South elgin target and they sold to me for 5 bucks!!!

Quick someone go open more games

ROCK ON MY LONDON ROCK ON CHICAGO

thats what Im talking about! I mean its not even $10 for me to take the train in, and $5 for a bus pass for the day. What places would you all want to meet at?

That may be cool, bub.

well since it seems that everyone is pretty spread out, i suggest something in the middle, maybe something in downtown....hehe, but im kinda partial, it really doesnt matter to me

How about ESPN Zone.

Might be interested, but i do have a wife, a 3 year old and a two month old...so sometimes it's hard to get out if you know what I mean.

i'm a couple of blocks away from Comiskey...er make that US cellular, so downtown is no problem whatsoever...there's also Sox games this weekend as well if a bar is too...well...barry for everyone.

The Disc Replay that is right next to Best Buy in Village Crossing usually has a decent selection of used games. They give cash for trade ins and that is why so many people sell back over there. There is also another Disc Replay in Harwood Heights, right next to the Gamestop on Harlem and Lawrence. Lots of good deals if you get lucky.

Did any of you guys ever go to windy city games on Cicero ave and windy city game dealer at North ave?
