I always preferred it to Best Buy. I could spend hours in there. Maybe its because they had comics there and tons of magazine to help kill time with. Its the only place that I know of that sold 10 hour VCR tapes which was invaluable for my taping needs. It also had lower prices on dvd's and most video games. GAH!!!!!!!!!   |

The Media Plays where I lived were all in the hood, and their prices sucked, so bad location that nobody but locals go to + bad prices = ticking time bomb.

I loved Media Play. Don't get me wrong, I like Best Buy and all but I miss Media Play too, especially since one of the Media Plays here was turned into a Best Buy. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have magazines, books and a whole bunch of other random merch instead of refrigerators and washing machines. Plus, I don't think their prices were all that bad. Of course, a lot of the movies and music I enjoy aren't exactly mainstream so I could get a ton of stuff for fairly cheap.

I easily could spend hours in there and often did. I was like a kid in a candy store going there every 2 or 3 months. I think that's where my dad bought me my first issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland in the late 90s. I also still have a ton of USED CD's I bought for cheap over there. Walking up and down the aisles of VHS tapes was a real adventure. |

Media Play was awesome. The one near me had these comfy leather couches in the books & magazine section, so I would grab a wrestling magazine and make myself comfortable. I was a member of the Replay Rewards program and I would always get a s***load of points around the holidays when my parents would buy stuff for my brother and me. Plus, I met Kurt Angle there.  |

Spoken 4  They did have a great selection, but everything they sold was GROSSLY overpriced. The one by me was still selling Waverace on the Gamecube for $50, even though the Wii was out when they shut its doors. The reason they fell was because everything there was always full price, even though in my area, there was a Circuit City and Best Buy right down the road selling everything for a lot less. I did spend a lot of time and money there in the mid-90s, though. Ah the memories... |

Yeah, the store had it's moments, but not many. I did buy Civ 2 there back in 1996.

I think they were contractually obligated to stay within 100 feet of one another. Sorta like a reverse restraining order. |

The one in Harrisburg PA actually was doing extremely well. (Mainly because of the location. For the longest time there wasn't a Best Buy in the area.) Their prices actually weren't that bad out here, except that almost nothing ever went on sale.

Magazines and comfy chairs FTW. They always had much larger video selection than BestBuy, plus they were a lot more quiet and less wearhousy. |

God, I miss Media Play. There were two locations here that I frequented. They had to have been closed for about 13 years, but I still remember how great they were.
