Previously Played Xbox Games For $5

Posted on February 15, 2010 - Filed Under Business, gaming, sale, shopping | Leave a Comment

$5 games? Really?!? Yes really! 99% of our original Xbox games are now under $10! Whoohoo! A customer was in asking to buy something for blackhead extraction… yeah… so we sent her to Pharmasave for that. But guess what she said, she didn’t know about our games being so cheap [...]

Posted on January 18, 2010 - Filed Under Business, News, gaming, sale | Leave a Comment

Along with the hockey cards I also ordered a box of Scourgewar cards from the World of Warcraft trading card game. It’s similar to Magic: the Gathering but I haven’t had a chance to play it so far. The big draw for these cards are the loot cards that you can find in [...]

Posted on January 16, 2010 - Filed Under Entertainment, Software, This Town, gaming | 2 Comments

Xona Games, a local game studio manned by Jason & Matthew Doucette, has finally released their first game on the Xbox Live Indie Marketplace, Decimation X. I haven’t played it yet since it just released today and I’m still at work, but I bought it already. It’s only a buck (80 MS fun-bux) [...]

Godfather II

Posted on November 17, 2009 - Filed Under gaming | Leave a Comment

Finally, a video game sequel that doesn’t start you off with nothing. After destroying all the rival families in the original Godfather game in order to put yourself in the Don’s seat it just wouldn’t make sense to start off the sequel as a lowly nobody again, would it? But, reaching for a [...]

Posted on October 20, 2009 - Filed Under Business, gadgets, gaming | Leave a Comment

Owning a store like ours, sure has it perks. We do get a good bargain for some pretty cool used stuff like this Chrome version of the xbox 360 and at a very good price too. So while we were looking at GMAT prep courses one afternoon, along came this from a regular [...]

The 10th Anniversary Sale started just a few days ago.. and we only had ads put up on CJLS since we are pretty much your friendly neighbourhood video/games/computer/accessories store. In other words.. we do local business a lot more than tourist. It had been a busy week so far and I’ll have to say [...]

It seems like no matter how many games I sell, they keep coming in faster than they go out! We now have over 300 used games in stock for the Xbox 360 and over 700 for PS2. That’s a record amount for both systems so far. Speaking of PS2, I just dropped [...]

Older Games are Worthless at Game Stop

Posted on May 6, 2009 - Filed Under Business, gaming | Leave a Comment

So yesterday I was snooping around Game Stop to see what was new and interesting. While I was there someone came in with a bag full of games and a guitar to trade in. I decided to stick around and see what kind of offer they got. The guy at the counter [...]

Used Wii Stuff is still pretty Rare

Posted on April 29, 2009 - Filed Under Entertainment, gaming | Leave a Comment

We’ve got lots of used games for XBox 360 in these days, and several controllers and headsets too. Used 360 consoles are fairly common as well. The Wii and PS3 quite rare still though, only see a system every 2 or 3 months and games maybe once a month. I do have [...]

Results of Rearranging – Phase I

Posted on April 11, 2009 - Filed Under Business, Electronics, gaming | Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I finally got around to moving some things around. I don’t think I really got ahead as far as storage space goes, but it does look a lot nicer than it used to. Before there was just a flat counter top with stuff stacked up wherever it would fit, [...]

Posted on January 8, 2009 - Filed Under Amused, Entertainment, gaming | Leave a Comment

Now here’s an Awards show I could stand to spend a couple hours watching, too bad this one is only 6 minutes long! Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation rounds up the best (worst?) games of 2008 and continues his trend of ripping them to shreds. Good stuff.

Coke Zero’s Dance Hero

Ok I don’t watch a lot of TV these days and that became quite apparent today when I heard about this free Dance Hero game from iCoke. It’s a pretty basic online game with only 2 contestants, 2 songs and 3 stages to choose from. The contestants are new Coke Zero mascots, a [...]

Want a Wii? Good Luck

Posted on December 16, 2008 - Filed Under Entertainment, gaming | Leave a Comment

I just don’t understand the continuing appeal of the Nintendo Wii. This is the 3rd Christmas since it’s launch and once again they’re impossible to find. From what little I’ve played of it it feels very gimmicky, not something that would hold my attention for very long at all. I’m not alone [...]
