I like to play DDR or ITG and rack up credits by swiping it after each song.

More like a two minuet walk across a street. (Thats why the plaza is called streets of woodfield. That and the design is of a city block.) It really is no more than a walk across a street or a 1 min car ride from the mall. Gameworks is a pretty neat place from what I remember. (I haven't been there since I was in the 7th or 8th grade)

Anyway, I'm a local to the schaumburg/hoffman estates area. Although most of the year I live in the city.

I was wondering if anyone will be attending the Chicago Wizard world convention?

Don't know if it's been mentioned-- but I noticed last night that there's another Video Game Exchange store on Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park.
It's right across from Reckless Records, just like the one on broadway, oddly enough.

I'm gonna go check it out on Thursday. I'll post here if I find anything good.

I have never been to any video game exchange, how are they in game selection and prices?

I will be on Friday August 5th hopefully if my buddy can get off work.
I have been going for about 10 years now.

Hmm, are there any Circuit City stores that still have a good selection of Xbox games from the July Clearance Sale?...

Anyone buy Bears tickets today? I got four tickets for the December 18th Falcons game that'll be on ESPN. I can't wait to go.

They are still pretty new so they don't have a huge selection, but they carry stuff for every system. their prices are kinda hit or miss, but generally good.

Tried visiting the Wicker Park store but it's closed on sundays. lame. but I scored a $15 mint + complete Mega Man Anniversery for the gamecube at Reckless, which made the trip worth it :-)

I was at the Best buy in Norridge (hip mall) and got these guides for a penny and they had at least two more copies of each (I only got one guide of each).

Doom 3
Brothers in Arms
Forza Motorsport
Call of Duty: Finest Hour

I'm going up to vacation to Chicago for the week. Any good must-hit cheap ass deals right now?

In case anyone's looking for that Nintendogs deal-- EBX at Old Orchard in Skokie is running it.

My Bears tickets just came in through the mail. I can't wait for the game, it's going to be great!

Well I'm going only on sat and sun, maybe we can meet up? Also RawisJericho, I tried to order some tickets but I wasnt able to obtain any and I aint paying for overprice tickets at stubhub or craigslist.

Well if you talking about the toys for example. I got last years She-ra toy which I bought it for $20 and sold it for $75 a few weeks later and I got the skeletor toy two years ago in which I bought for $20 and I sold it for $110 . It all depends on the toy and regarding comics that I'm not sure about.

Also I got an extra strategy guide of each, if any one is interested in trading.

Forza Motorsport
Doom 3
call of duty
Brothers In Arms
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Jak 3
