Any CAGers around here? Really disappointed as the scene pales in comparison to Boston's video gaming scene. Any suggestions or local mom and pop shops? The Maryland-Virginia-DC area seems to be pretty weak.

Weak indeed. Someone look out for some mad KB Toys deals and let me know.

Weak is right. The Ballston KB had nothing good when I checked Thursday.

Every time I find a source of cheap games, it goes out of business. There's a gamespot in Gaithersburg, MD that's all right.

lol, funny how I just found this thread. I am a CAG in MD ;-)

You probably have some experience with the CD/Game Exchange in Rockville. I used to be in the area and would visit there once a month. Simon, the British part-owner, was often there.

It's kind of like a thrift store in that you have to visit regularly to find and snatch up the good deals. They do have some vintage stuff in addition to newer stuff, and I'd had luck getting decent trade-in credit there on occasion.

I've actually been in there, and I wouldn't say that there are deals but there occassionally is a dump of "new items". We all know where or how these things get there....but it's not really a cool shop to go into. They have quite a bit of games, but the whole feel is more of a CD music shop.

I want to find a cool video game shop like the West Coast has...a place to talk video games and gaming.

If you find one, let me know. There seems to be a lack of "mom & pop" type videogame stores in the DC area. Even the pawn shops in my area have all but stopped carrying older video games.

Has anyone checked the Targets recently for any deals? PSP in particular? I haven't been to the Targets in the area for a couple of months now.....care to save me a trip. Thanks,

I check the Targets quite often in the Laurel, Hyattsville, Wheaton, Cherry Hill. I am new to CAG, but will be posting more often.

I have never seen a Mom and Pop Shop in the DC area for gaming. Problem with it is that land value is so freaking high in the DC area.

Just checked the Target in Hyattsville (PG Plaza) and saw:

Xbox-

Morrowind Platnium Hits $4.98
NASCAR 2005 $19.99
Mech Assault 2 $9.98

PSP-

Soccer $19.98
Gretsky NHL $14.98

PC-

Half Life 2 $30.98

hey a cag in maryland... yea hard to find deals

I know that we tried, we being CAG, tried to have a regional meetup in the years past...but maybe we can get a good group together. Let's have a roll call again, if you would be interested. We could meetup to secure regional trades for one another and/or trade with one another, etc, etc.

I live in Gaithersburg, MD.

I live in Silver Spring, MD.

Actually, live in Montgomery Village, but the same difference. Anyhow, I think that we've had this same conversation before while we were chasing BB deals at the BB and EB on Shady Grove Road.
