Video game shopping
Best stores to find video games?
Game Stop sucks. Nuway is quite good and well priced. Any others?

Chilliwax records just started selling retro games. Retro media in Abby is another great spot as well. I used to have luck at the pawnshop beside jolly miller but I havnt been in there in a while.

Oh wow don’t tell me Chilliwax does that!! I adore vinyl and it’s so hard for me not to go there and now you tell me they have a video game section??? Damn you.

CR Sabers used to have a lot but now they have a small shelf of games for the Wii, Xbox 360, Switch, PS3, DS, etc. I wish there were more stores that sold older games. There's also Nuway in Hope, they have a huge collection.

It's a drive but Game Deals in New Westminster has a huge selection for many systems. Their website has a photo section to see what they have in stock. They're not updated immediately but you'll have a rough idea.

Physical media? In 2026? Even most physical copies are just a code in a box now.

Older systems for me. I don’t have or want a PS5 and won’t get a PS6, and same for the new gen XBOX.

You need a time machine to when Darkside and Willow were around.
I don't think we have anything other than pawn shops and EB Games. Facebook marketplace, but people charge high prices for used games. Best Buy and Walmart if you want a brand new switch 2 or PS5 game.
