    Post if you find anything good!

    Also note that you have to pay for parking. I don't remember how much it is but you need to buy a ticket from a machine on the sidewalk and put it in your window.

    People Play games is pretty cool for weird little stuff needed to round out a collection - manuals for instance. They had a ton of game manuals when I visited a couple months ago. Their game prices are a little high for my blood though.

    The Exchange is not far from there and has a huge selection of everything new and old.

    Exchange : just some loose games/systems and prices are high (but I find the last box single of Smashing Pumpkins, so it´s cool).

    People Play Game : very nice store, very clean, a lot of games and systems loose, complete, mint and brand new. I take some TGX16 games, prices are a little high but I don´t pay the shipping costs to France so it´s ok.
