I like Press Start Gaming in Pickerington, good selection, good prices, a comfy couch with Super Smash Brothers Melee (among other things) always on...and pop! Can't go wrong there.

I found Nights, Clockwork Knight, Resident Evil, Fighting Vipers, Virtua Fighter 2, Ghen Wars, etc.
I checked the condition of the discs and they are quite lovely. Only problem is the value of them is kind of steep....$24.99 for a loose copy of Resident Evil...
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
Local > Corporate Chain. Always and forever.
That being said, I'm starting to drift a bit away from Noble Collectibles and spend more money at Gamers Anonymous. The guy who runs the place has either flat pricing or a sensible range on all his games, depending on the platform. He's considerate to the old schoolers like me, and always points it out whenever he gets in a pile of pre-NES titles. Additionally, they have actual cabs in the store: about 8 of them, actually. Nothing's on freeplay, but it's nice to see a game store that has some games.
Support your local shops, people. What Wal-Mart does to retailers in general, EB and Gamestop are doing to your local scene.
I prefer EBWorld. I like the fact that the buy and sell used PC games and Music CDs.
I happen to live in an area where there is not even one good game store within 40 miles of me. blah.
I am dead serious.
My favorite game store is some guy at a dusty outdoor flea market that sold me a pile of Saturns for $5 each. The best deals can be found by buying from folks who don't know, don't care and don't speak english.
There's already a thread on this in progress. Please continue the discussion there.

You gotta support the locally owned and operated stores.

Nowadays I only buy online, but I used to frequent EB and the Gamesman [NZ store].
