I guess this goes here as we're not really Washington DC. We're Virginians, damnit, and proud of it!

Anyway, to start us off, there are a whole rack of GTA: San Andreas 0.01 guides at the Tysons Corner Best Buy (Route 7, across from Tysons Corner mall, validated parking free when visiting BB). Was there today and got some, but there are A LOT more. Make sure to grab the ones that are for PS2 and not PC/XBOX, as the PC/XBOX ones are not 0.01.

Argh I was just there this weekend. Oh well might go back this weekend. It's a 15 min drive there tho so *shrugs*

Anyway at the Best Buy across from Springfield Mall they had PS2 Bundle packages with the following items:

PS2 Slim
Sony PS2 Memory Card
Logitech Wireless PS2 Controller (EA White edition)

The bundle cost $200 bucks so I think it works it down to about 10-20 dollars of savings. (Will check it later) Not really that great but if you want these three items you can get them and save a few bucks.

Cool. Too bad traffic is a bitch in Tysons!

Thanks for the tip, I've got a friend who probably wouldn't say no to a one cent GTA guide.

I have found that the Toys R Us down the road from the mall (it's at the plaza right after the one with EBgames and Tower Records) sometimes has surprisingly old games for sale at very cheap prices. I once picked up two sealed SNES games (Killer Instinct, NBA Live 97) and a sealed Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis) for about $5 total. I also saw some NGPC games, along with various other 16-bit games (I recall seeing Wheel of Fortune for SNES one time). I think the employees randomly just find these games in the back, slap a generic price sticker on them, and put them on the shelf. Hopefully, one of you guys will get lucky and find something.

That was the same Toys R Us that had brand new Sega CD systems for 20 dollars in 1999. Man I wish I had bought more than one back then.

Yeah, I remember finding a couple NGPC games there a couple years ago I think it was. TRU stores are so random!

Another good TRU for randomly old stuff is the one in Bailey's Cross Roads. That one has been around for over 25 years. It's a bit messy in the game area though and hard to find stuff.

That large Toys 'R' Us in Fair Lakes near the World Market and Best Buy has this one dickhead employee. Yarr! >_>

to bad i have to leave near charlottesville and cant hit up any of these deals

And what do they think they're doing seperating us from DC and MD? I say we invade that board and force ourselves onto there.

do it invade!!!

cool..finally our own VA thread :P Watch out for that fat guy in the TRU Video Game Department...lately he's become a dick, before that he was cool...might be the new hair cut.

i haven't been to Springfield in years...that mixing bowl scares me :O

Meh, I guess it can't really be helped given what roads meet in that area. The weird thing is the Mixing Bowl is only being redone to improve safety, not relieve the terrible traffic problems it has. Now is they would only do something about the disgustingly bad traffic here, like actually build the outer beltway they should have 30 years ago.

Ok we need to originize our group here. Here is my plan. Lets do a location call out and the nearest stores within reasonable travel distance or the distance you are willing to go (and spend your gas on) to check out for a bargin?

I will start

ITDEFX-Chantilly
nearest stores
Fairlakes=Walmart, Best buy, Target, Kidsworld (TRU)
Fairfax off of the vienna metro station=Microcenter (but my shopping experiance there is getting worse everytime i go there)
Target off of 50 west
Cosco I can't get in cause Im not a member ..blah
Gamestop off of Fairfax County Parkway (forgot the name of the shopping center)
Fairoaks Mall=EBgames
Circuit City/Kmart in Fairfax
Kmart in Chantilly
CompUSA next to B&N


Willing to go as far as these places but only as last resort.
EB/GS in fairfax city (near woodson high school)
Sterling=TRU, CC, BB
Dullas Towncenter

Anyway find Soul Calibur 3 yet in Nova, I've been calling all the TRU's in the area this morning and no one seems to have it yet. They said check back in the afternoon, they may get a later shipment.

this is not a vg deal request..more like in store avaliblity request. don't worry I don't expect a mass sell out. You will get it intime.
