I was driving up Sahara the other day with Dad when I saw this place! I got excited because I had read about it on here a long time ago and forgotten about it...so we stopped and checked it out.
Walking in the door was sensory overload. As far as I could see, all of the racks to my right were covered in movies and to my left there were shelves and shelves of video games.
I wandered into the video game section first and was AMAZED at the wide selection of games. They not only had a wonderful selection for the current generation consoles, but also had games for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo and even Sega CD! I ended up picking up "Bioshock 2" for Xbox 360 for $6.99 and "Croc: Legend of the Gobbos" for PS1 for $1.99.
I walked to the music section next and the first section I turned to was the CDs marked down to .49 cents. I'm a sucker for clearance music. Most of this rack was comprised of 90s alternative music. I ended up picking up Will Smith's "Big Willy Style" and Motley Crue's 1994 Self-Titled Record.
The majority of the music aisle was fun to look through, albeit loosely organized. Everything is organized by letter of the alphabet, but beyond that it gets a little messy. I found quite a few gems in there that I didn't end up picking up simply because I could find them cheaper in other places. My only real complaint with this section was the randomly priced SUPER expensive CDs. I pulled out an album by the punk band The Virus and it was labeled at $91! Crazy!
Lastly, I took a walk through the movie section. I haven't really been buying many DVDs lately, but I really wanted to buy A LOT when I walked through the section. I was tempted by a copy of "True Blood: Season 2" that was running for $14.99, but in the end I picked up a copy of the Vin Diesel movie "XxX" for $1.99. Not a bad deal at all.
This is really an awesome place. The guys behind the counter were very funny and friendly as well, which makes me want to return even more. Looks like I'll be stopping here as well every time I frequent the Zia on Sahara!
