Whats the connection between Chinatown and selling used games? Is it actual shops or just stands on the street kind of like a flea market? Kind of curious why you'd find games in Chinatown

I went to Videogames New York, Nintendo world, J and L trading, I then rode a bus to Clifton, NJ to go to the "great!!' and "awesome" DigitPress Video Games.

I'm a NYer also. Just went to back to J&L for the first time in almost 8 years, still the same as I remember it, wow.

Was looking for a place to mod my Saturn, but no luck with that. J&L used to mod, but not anymore. If anyone in NYC knows of a place or person, let me know.

Craigslist. I don't live in NYC, but thats how I was able to get my PS2 modded. I posted on Craigslist and an international student from China going to Towson University contacted me saying he had done some mods back in China. I brought it all to him and he did the modding, and didn't even charge me or anything, did it out of kindness and for the company of having someone to hang out with. Good deal.
