458.0. "Price Comparison" by JARETH::EDP (Always mount a scratch monkey.) Wed May 09 1990 21:16

    I went out to buy several games as gifts, so I did some price shopping
    first.  Here's what I found.
    
    EB = Electronics Boutique (Note:  EB gives a $25 certificate by
    	mail for each $200 of purchases.  Ask at a store for details.)
    KB = Kay-Bee Toys & Hobby
    LM = Lechmere
    RT = Record Town
    TW = Tape World
    CW = Child World
    TT = Tons of Toys
    CJ = Computer Junction
    TU = Toys "R" Us
    
    Prices are rounded to the nearest dollar.

458.1a few more pricesSANFAN::GRANT_JODon't Say 'Shank'Thu May 10 1990 15:1015
    Here's a couple more prices to compare:
    
    Service Merchandise ( I buy all not-hard-to-find-cartridges there)
    
    Link: $38
    Zelda: 38
    Wiz & Warriors: $30
    
    So far, I have found this company to have the best prices.  At
    least in the SF Bay area.  But they don't have a very exotic
    selection.  Still, if you want one of the classics, it's worth
    a look.
