The closest one to me is in Angus. I don't know if it is worth it for me, especially if they don't have anything good.
Is this place known to have any good condition retro games for cheap? I live in Barrie, ON and all we have is a place called "Video Time" but their prices have become outrageous, and they can't sell anything so they will probably be going out of business.
Common sense tells me that if you can't sell that copy of Super Mario World for $70, maybe you should drop the price.

I can't give an official confirmation. I was told by an employee yesterday as I perused their shelves. As to selection, I'm sure it will vary by store, but in this particular location (Lloydminster), they seemed to have a lot of xbox 360 games, and a relatively limited selection of ps3 and wii. There were ds and psp games as well, but I didn't really look at them closely.
They did have 2 copies of Web of Shadows for $29.99 for PS3 which will be in the sale. This irked me, as I just paid around $30 to get it for my son for Christmas. Of course previously viewed, so likely not returnable.

The one thing you have to watch about Movie Gallery is that they put a huge plastic sticker on their discs that is pretty much impossible to get off.

That sucks, but do they at least come with their original cases and paper sleeves. I'm pretty OCD about that kind of stuff, but worst case scenario I could buy some replacement cases online or from a Toys R' Us or something.

I live in Barrie as well and Video Time is terrible for deals. There's a Video Time 2 over on Yonge St that ha used movies and games buy 2 get 1 free. Selection is pretty crummy at time for games though.

Anybody know if this is chainwide or just in Canada?
Just checked out the one close to work (im in BC). They had some older sports games for the PS3 & 360. Had a few games for the flippers out there too.
The bourne game for both systems and skate 2 for the 360. Halo 3 as well. As those games are still listed on robbers web page as good for the trade 3 deal im guessing they can be flipped. As im not a flipper I don't really know for sure. Just wanted to give others the heads up as to what they might find for 29.99 or under.

Thank you very much Zyre. I picked up mint used copy of Heavenly Sword of $5 and a new copy of Halo Wars for $30.
I have to share my haul with you all, it was definitely the best day of video game shopping in my life. I spent $145 (plus tax) on 29 games. As a guess if I wanted to make some money today instead of having a whole pile of games for myself and my son, I could likely double my money with trade-in values? Here goes:
PS3: Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Burnout Paradise, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Assasin's Creed, Farcry 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition, F.E.A.R. 2, Golden Axe Beast Rider, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Sonic Unleashed, Bioshock, Heavenly Sword, Kung Fu Panda, Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, Call of Duty 3, Tomb Raider Underworld
Wii: The Incredible Hulk, The Bigs 2, Wall-E, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Resident Evil 4, Super Swing Golf
DS: Pokemon Diamond, Nintendogs: Chihuahua, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Final Fantasy: Echoes of Time
PS2: Ben 10: Alien Force
The cases are in good to great shape, and no stickers on the discs that I've seen. Your mileage will definitely vary. I was at the Camrose location when they opened at 10:00, which is where I picked up the vast majority. I then trundled across country to the Wetaskiwin and Beaumont stores, which were much much much more limited in selection. My son and I will be gaming like mad-men for a year and a half on this haul today, and I am super-hyped.
You're welcome Princess Zelda, and I'm sorry to hear that the rest of you didn't seem to have found a great selection.
According to the proprietor of the VHQ in Wetaskiwin, when I remarked upon how much less selection they had, she told me that the Camrose store has won awards within the company for their gaming division. By pure luck, having never been in that store before, it was where I started my day, because it was only a 40 minute drive from my house as opposed to 50 minutes to some others.

Got a pretty good haul at the Devon location today. I was the first one there and had the full selection to myself.
Picked up:
Ghostbusters (360)
Ben 10 (360)
Velvet Assassin (360)
Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe (360)
Terminator Salvation (360)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3)
Godfather 2 (PS3)
All for $36. Been waiting awhile to pick up some of these at a good price - I had no clue it would only be $5.
Good luck to everyone else out there looking to get in on this deal! Unless your hoarding multiple copies of games to sell/pawn off, if so you can go F yourself.

VHQ by me apparently is going out of business...shipped back almost all the good stuff...meaning games
However, ALL DVDs and Blu-ray's in the store are $9.99 gone when gone, and all DVD/BRs that aren't new release are $5. All the used-game selection they did have was additionally 50% off, but this included a crapload of shitty PS2 and XBOX games. and Mario Strikers Charged for $20.

Great job, Zyre. Wetaskiwin and Camrose are a little far for me to reach..I usually try to hit up the stores within my delivery range while I'm working. Great haul too.

And dangit! That's the one store within my range I didn't get a chance to hit up. Good haul for you too, Afrodiziak. Enjoy Ghostbusters. I know I did before I traded it off for a Wii for the wiffey for Xmas.
Yesterday I had a so so haul:
Virtua Tennis 2009 - 360
Left 4 Dead - 360
Eternal Sonata - 360
Legendary: The Box - 360
Trying to restrain myself this close to xmas. Gonna take another swing through today, though...3 of those games were from Rabbit Hill Road location in Edmonton(they held the entire 360 selection for me to go through before they put it out on the floor. ). And Virtua Tennis 2009 was from Beaumont..Nothing really left at Leduc except for GH2 & 3, Golden Axe: Beast Rider and a few sports titles.
