This definitely fills a very specific need if you have it. The Marc's Grocery (yes, you heard right) has a ton of Duracell PS3 Charging Docks, charges 2 PS3 pads and 2 Move controllers, for $3.

The one I went to is on Henderson Road in Upper Arlington, north end of Columbus, close to where I live. Marc's stuff is VERY YMMV from what I understand, but if you had a need for one of these and always thought $20 seemed silly for a piece of plastic with some USB style connectors, $3 doesn't seem so silly!

P.S. - If there's any gamers in the Hilliard area I don't know, would love to meetup and play or trade at some point.

Kent Ohio here

I'm from the Middletown area, between cinci and dayton.

Delaware area here just north of Cbus.

I recently bought King's Bounty from Amazon's downloads and I can't get the mouse/pointer to appear on screen. I have Windows XP and the NVIDIA Gforce 9600 graphics card. Could somebody help a fellow CAG from the Cleveland area?

Don't know why I never posted in this thread before! Ex-Cincinnatian, always west-side at heart, here. I've gone to the dark side by moving to NKY, but only for a year while my wife finishes a residency. We'll most likely return to Cincy afterwards, even though Ky is starting to grow on me

We're both big time board/video gamers. Lately we've been playing a LOT of TF2 (we play competitively), Guild Wars 2, Borderlands 2, Halo 4, Black Ops2, and Orcs Must Die 2. Nice to meet you all!

From east side of Cincy.

Hey everyone. This is for the ultimate Cheap Ass. The Cuyahoga County Public Library (ie Cleveland area) is starting to loan video games. The selection is still small since they just started this the other day but still great way to try out new games. I also saw Tekken Tag 2 for the 360, Sonic racing for the Wii U, and some sports games. For other people outside of Cuyahoga you maybe able to order the games to be shipped to your library through Search Ohio. If you don't know what that is, it is a great time to talk to your local librarian . Here is what I picked up for 3 weeks.

Middletown, woooo. Not haha

I remember borrowing games from my local library back in the NES days.

It's nice to hear that some libraries are still doing that. I think one of my local libraries does that also.

The library in Centerville also has a VERY nice selection of Anime and Games.

Any must go to game stores in Columbus? I will be in town for the anime convention and wouldn't mind hunting for some games. Thanks for any leads!

This is probably overly local, but the Marc's in Brecksville, OH had some (IMHO) pretty decent deals:

Xbox 360 4GB (non-Kinect) - $129
Xbox 360 MW3 320GB Special Edition - $199

Don't know if the deals are elsewhere.

Interesting; was that in the closeouts section?

I guess that's part of closeout section -- it was on the endcap right beside their combo electronics/jewelry counter. I'm not super familiar with the stores, we just stopped in because it was their grand opening, and it seemed roomier than most of the older, cramped stores.

They also had a ton of Kindle Fires (I assume 1st gen) for $99, and a PS3 320Gb / Everyone Dance bundle for $199.

Thanks, that sounds a LOT fancier than the Marc's here, so I suspect they wouldn't have it.

Fellow Cincy CAG, where can I find GBA games? Looking for anything Pokemon, had no luck at Game Swap or Half Price Books (Mason).
