You looking for people with personal experience buying cabinets and whatnot? Can't help there, but I'm certain there are internet communities geared towards such items.

Just an update on Virgin Megastore. The prices are still set at 25% off and they might not go any lower since only this store is closing. They'll probably send any excess to another store. Last day is July 14th.

Thanks. I should be going down there on Saturday, so I'll try and get another update this weekend.

Anyone get the email from DeepDiscount.com? They've opened up a retail store in Naperville, IL and hopefully they'll have the same nice prices as they do online. If you got the email, it includes a 20% off coupon (that's not good on video games, sadly) that expires the 30th of June. Think I may have to check it out soon.

I was just going to post that. Here is some info:

I received it, as well.

Does anyone know of any good stores for used cds and dvds? The Music Recyclery stores near me have closed.

I used to go to Disc Replay. There's one a little further down the HIP and there's another in Village Crossing in Skokie. Prices are so-so. Sometimes you can find some good deals though.

Also, you can go to Reckless Records. I haven't been there in years, and I think their locations have been jumping around over those years. I guess you can google for the ones in Chicago. I've found alot of hard to find CDs there when I used to go.

Today at Virgin all merchandise was marked down to 35% off with a couple of exceptions being 50% off. These prices will not go any lower, they're just going to ship any excess to the remaining stores.

Nice! Thanks for the update.

I'll second Reckless and also Dr. Wax (on the north side) as good record shops. The former has locations in Wicker Park and on Broadway in Lincoln Park/Gold Coast-ish and the latter in downtown Evanston and also on Broadway but further north in Lakeview/Rogers Park/Uptown.

Also, I can confirm the GameCrazy +50% promotion going on here, at least for the one on Clark in Rogers Park and whichever store the clerk called, but they didn't know about it immediately; she went through a stack of printouts from corporate and found a coupon code she had to enter manually. 4 trade-ins before boost ~$54 credit, after, $85 credit.

Reckless is a great place, love it.

If any of you cheapasses were hitting up CC and Gamestop in Niles, like an Asian guy asking for Armored Core and such, thanks for taking all the 360 games!! LOL. I didn't realize those were on clearance until now. I knew a guy asking for Armored Core was a little suspicious.

Schaumburg, Near Chicago (Northwest Suburbs).

Armored Core for 360 is clearanced? I'm going to head out to try and find a copy of the clearanced Virtua Tennis 3 Monday morning. Anyone seen them around?

And, has anyone been to the deepdiscount store? How is it?

Did anyone notice these games at their local circuit city?

No the A.C. for PSP is on clearance for ten bucks at GS, that's where I saw the guy asking for it.

I've been to the CC in Niles (Touhy Av.) and Chicago (Elston Av) and haven't seen either of these games. And those 2 are the ones I want :(
