Surely there is some yellow pages for my city or all of Korea where I can type in ���� ���� and find a store close to me? Someplace I can search on the internet and find one?

Do you think if I hop in a taxi and say "���� ���� ����;��. ��� �־��?" the taxi driver will know of a place?

I imagine you have an xbox or playstation2. Go to Yongsan's electronic market. You'll find a great selection of games for the cheapest prices. And if you are looking to get you system modded to play copied games, or stores to buy them at, pm me.

���� not ��ǻ�� ����. Wink Video not computer games.

I know of Yongsan and got my XBOX modded there.

I don't live in Seoul, I live in a smaller city. So I was just looking for accessories for my XBOX that Emart doesn't have.

I don't know if this helps you, but several years ago when I lived in Cheonan they seemed to be congregated near middle and high schools. Good luck.

What do you mean by video games?

Why not give us examples of what type of 'video games' you want to play.

Do you mean like Galaga and Pacman type games?

For PC games - go to a PC Bang
For console games like Playstation - go to a Playstation Bang
For galaga and pacman type games - go to an O Rak Sil - ������

Unimportant unneccesary sidenote, the local Emart carries XBOX stuff (but not what I'm looking for) and the local HiMart carries PS2 stuff but not XBOX.

I want to XBOX Live headset.

I still pop into a local game room every so often and get a fix of 1945 or some other flying game. A lot of entertainment for 100 won.

Actually, best console game/pc game market I've found is on one of the upper floors of the big electronics market right next to Nambu Bus terminal. Seemed like some of the stores actually had more variety then the shops at Yongsan, and I was even able to buy a new power supply and dvd-rom for my xbox from a fix-it/modding guy...plus the people are more helpful than at Yongsan.
