Have you been to any locations of Book Off or Eco Town? Book Off stores are US extensions of the Japanese chain that I've watched so many YouTube videos about. And Eco Town is an extension of Hard Off, the unfortunately named sister chain to Book Off in Japan. I've watched some videos of a guy shopping in the Huntington Beach location and being blown away by all the boxed and complete Japanese games on the shelves.

I had last week off, and Saturday I ended up driving out to a GameXchange I haven't been to in some time and buying Thumper for the PS4 (it describes itself as a rhythm-violence game.... okay....) and at a GameStop up the street I picked up Celeste and Gigantosaurus The Game. I bought Gigantosaurus because I'd seen at a Bandai Gachapon Arcade a day earlier that they had Gigantosaurus LED bracelets for kids, and I wondered why fresh merch would be out for a 5 year old game. Haven't actually played it yet.
