It's not that bad there if you go during the daytime. If you go at night, make sure your not going alone. Have a few friends come with you.

It's not bad there. Some people look like they are bad, but they don't do anything to you. I was there the other night, but KB was a mess and had nothing I wanted. And what EBGames stores don't do the trade-in deal? I did the trade-in deal at the Kings Highway store and I've seen advertisements for it at the 2 stores in the mall. If they aren't doing it, then you should show them the ad and/or talk to a manager.

dammit! what game did you do the trrade in for? i just went to the kings highway one last week to get nfl street and they said it was over. then when i tried to do it for sonic heroes they said the games i was trading in had to all be for the same system! maybe nyc isnt the problem. maybe its just me.

The city stores are really bad (price and selection wise) when it comes to video games (like 65 per game!!!). But once you get further out near the suburbs (westchester, long island, etc...) the prices are about normal 49.99 for most. Just look for a chain store like best buy, walmart, etc.

I can't really argue you you metroidkiller9.
I think the only good in-store deal I've gotten in NYC was a new $10 Timesplitters 2 (PS2) at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square.

I live in a quasi-urban quasi-rural area in Northwest Ohio. We tend to flux between bad-deal/good-deal situations, but I'm in a still relatively newly developed zone with farmland nearby. The local gamestop and eb usually has some sweet deals, or at least reasonable prices, and I've never had trouble with trade-in situations (*knocks on wood*) Just my own experience though, never really bought games or electronics out-of-state, unless you count Michigan, which is stone's throw away. But up there is Ann Arbor, and the college town usually has some nice dealmakers lying around.

wow you got something cheap at Virgin? im amazed at your cheapness powers. as a side not, somewhere in the area of union square and st. marks is a little game shop. not sure of the exact location, but it has some great stuff. i saw an unopened atari 2600 there. they also had animal crossing, new, for $30 right after it came out. great palce if you can find it.

Just be glad you have stores like that near you. There isnt a single game store in my country. </Rant>

do you mean county? and anyway i live in upstate NY. i USED to live down yonder, but luckily i still visit friends and have a chance to go to thes cheap stores.

yeah game buying in NYC is complete hell unless you are paying 50 bucks for the new game that came out last month. forget about buying the game that came out today because it's always sold out. Deals? Imports? HAH! It's all hell. And any store that carries games, but doesnt specialize in it has a.) a totally F-ed up game section in regards to order and keeping up with current title pricing & B.) staff that can't help you one bit.

You'd think a metropolis like this would be different. I had better luck at Best Buy in Syracuse when I was still in College.

Heh...hosed!

NYC hates you. Punk.

videogamedeals has a shop in NEW YORK CITY. I'm not sure what streets it was on something like 2nd and 3rd, and it's some other name too.

I don't know what their in-store prices are. Prices in NYC are mostly high because the rent is through the roof.

Yeah, sorry.

There are some places in Rochester and such, but they're out of the way most of the time.
