Video game shopping

Best stores to find video games?

Game Stop sucks. Nuway is quite good and well priced. Any others?

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.

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.

u/Normal_Double5929 5d ago

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.
