Calling ALL Americans!

Hi - I am a Brit who is on holiday in California and I'm looking to pick up some cheap games / consoles while I'm here. Where are the best places to buy games from in your opinion? I've visited Target (quite good), Best Buy (great prices - not the best selection) and Circuit City (pretty awful) so far.

Where's generally cheapest? And where is best to pick up some rarer items (I'm looking for a Gold Zelda DS Lite and Ace Combat on 360 with the flight sticks).

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Wal-Mart is worth mentioning.
They don't necessarily have great prices on new games but they often have a bargain bin with dirt cheep ds, X-box and PS2 games. Sometimes a low as 5 dollars.

I absolutely recommend you hit up the GameStop web site, look up the stores in your (current) area and call around for your hard to find (used) games. The store locator will give you the locations of both GameStop and EB games. Provided your in a larger metropolitan area chances are there are more than 5 within 25 mi..... ahem... 40 or so kilometers ;) of you. I have 6 within 10 miles and 9 within 25 miles of my house.

Gamestop will have the biggest selection and will have discounted used games but almost all new games there will be full MSR price.

I agree with Frys. They have a pretty good selection.

But a lot of these stores only stock on the new stuff. But I think overall from my shopping experiences, prices have been the same, except Circuit City and Gamestop. I mention Gamestop because they sometimes higher the prices on certain titles especially new DS games. But it's only been DS games. I think console and PC games at Gamestop is the same as majore retail stores.

You can also go with places that price match. I know Best Buy matches prices. I got a few games for cheaper there because of price matching. But you have to have proof with you like a receipt or a magazine article, etc.
