Game stores in southern California
« on: December 02, 2012, 06:55:47 PM »
I will be making a trip to Anaheim and San Diego soon for a few days. I was wondering if any of you guys may know where some good video game stores are at

Game Dude was the biggest one in LA area (North Hollywood). 

They used to have a really good selection & decent prices (I bought a Duo for ~$59, Sega CD for $49 plus tons of "X" condition CD's which they sold off dirt cheap BITD, but that's all old news I'm sure)...  I haven't been there in like 10 years though, so I dunno what the current prices are like.

I was just looking at the game dude website and called to ask if the pricing lised is up to date, for the most part it is, however they haven't had some of the rarer games in a while.  looks like the best pricing around, I might grab some stuff to be shipped across the country.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Yeah, Game Dude, but I haven't been there in years now.  I did get some great deals there in the past, but it seemed like the Turbo section was dwindling for a looooooong time.

I try to get out to San Diego once or twice a year and I always try to stop by http://www.lunavideogames.com/.  They have 2 locations and both usually carry some turbobs.  Lots of other retro stuff. Nerdy, knowledgeable staff.  I like shooting the shit there, especially the one in PB (Newport Ave).  But that's because it's PB. :)
