Buying in London
Hi, I'm going to London next Easter, any tip on where I can find old adventure games, DVDs, music and geek stuff?

Purely on the basis of your Totoro avatar, your best bet is CEX off Oxford Street. Just walk down from the Tottenham Court road junction (with Centre Point behind you) and take the second street on the right. Walk down there a bit and there's CEX on your left. High street regular Game occasionally have a good adventure deal too. Ooh, ooh, Computer Game Exchange in Notting Hill too. Just come out of the tube gates, turn right, take the right stairs and keep walking a bit. There's a bunch of exchanges on the left (mainly music), all the same owner apparently, then there's the computer one which always has adventure deals
edit - don't forget to go to Forbidden Planet at Shaftesbury Avenue too. The Covent Garden end. |

I was in London last weekend, and I went all the way to Finchley to get a plush toy...

There's an EB somewhere in London - I remember I went to London last year with my girlfriend and she was most distressed to find this place as I was in there for nearly an hour
It seemed to have a wide selection of games, including older titles that weren't available in Game & HMV. I really can't remember where it was exactly but we had been to Harrods earlier so it couldn't have been far from there |

Do they have GameStation in London? Those tend to have good deals and they sell adventures all the time.

If you can avoid buying stuff in London, I strongly recomend it! I mean, old adventure games are probably around 15 pounds, or something...

Gamestation is pretty overrrated in my opinion - I usually find better bargains in Game. |
