i'm in alexandria, and all of the "game crazy" stores in the area have proven to be lucrative hunting grounds for snes and ps titles. springfield mall's software etc. has had a fair selection in the past, and the best buy and funco land (or whatever it's been changed to) across the street make for good side trips if you're out there. dunno how much of a trip that is for you though.
starland (http://www.estarland.com) has three stores in the area, carries a good selection of import and domestic stuff. they're a small chain and offer some great customer service (do awesome repair jobs on consoles to boot) but they always seem to have fairly high prices. might just be me, though. they're the only store i'd recommend for saturn stuff, everywhere else will likely offer not only slim pickings but stuff that's in poor shape (no case or manual, scratched up, etc). never know, but i have yet to see anything decent in the saturn bins at game crazy.

old town? heh, i could spit from here and hit your house, i bet. :P
the starland i hit up is the one in bradlick (corner of braddock and backlick) shopping center. it's a bit of a trip, but it's almost a straight shot up duke street/little river turnpike. location should be on the website i mentioned if you want to head out there. i'll be there tuesday and wednesday looking for leftover copies of the phantom brave limited edition, heh. just be preapred to spend some money there, they know what shit sells for on ebay and tend to adjust prices accordingly.
and yeah, there's a gamecrazy in pretty much every hollywood video around. i've been continuously surprised at their selection, but it's all trade-ins, so quality varies wildly from game to game. i have yet to find a game boy pocket that has not been defaced by a crayon-armed six year old. argh.

Hmm... Starland always has a good selection... there's a few of them, the one I go to is in Centreville, but I think the one in Annandale is better. There's also a place called Pandora's Cube, sorta near the Springfield mall which has a decent selection (more anime though). Other than that, EB games, Gamecrazy, Gamestop, and all the other used game store chains seem to have a decent amount of games (at least the ones I go to in Manassas).
