Gamestop

Normally the staff are nice. They’ll chat and be friendly. And the prices can be awesome sometimes. We’re talking $ 1 DS games or $ 2 Wii games. It’s a gold mine for last gen finds.

Unfortunately, this is the closest Gamestop from my residence. If you happen to make the trip to this store, PRAY you don’t run into the manager, Trevor. My friend and I made the trip to the store to buy a game we asked him to hold for us, and once we got there he told us someone had bought it. We were both very confused and asked him if he was joking and then he started getting really rude and defensive. We wanted to buy another game while we were there but he refused to sell it to us, then had the nerve to tell me that he was lying about someone buying the original game — he, and I quote, «just didn’t wanna sell it to ya.» He eventually started yelling at us to leave the store once we asked to speak to his supervisor and then started making some emotional reference to his ex girlfriend treating him wrong… Seemed like he had a lot of personal problems. My advice for him is to NOT let his anger out on paying customers and to keep it to himself. Definitely will not be coming back to this store. Thanks for the awful service, Trevor.

I called with a bunch of really long-​winded questions, Trevor was really helpful on the phone as well as when I eventually came into the store. I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell me on anything I didn’t need. Considering I don’t play games and this was my first time purchasing something at GameStop, it was a very plesant experience.

I’ve been in here before and never did have a problem til tonight. I went in to purchase a couple of games. The guy at the desk (i didn’t get his name) checked my games made a joke about the games not being in the case (they usually keep games behind the desk). I giggled since it was a cute joke. I got my card out to pay and i noticed he didnt get the games from the cabnet behind him. He then asked if I lived far away and told me to come back before they closed in an hour and was told they could hold the games. I asked why and he blew me off to take the next customer. I left since they were busy and didn’t want to waste my time. I called the store when i got home to let them know i wasnt coming back for the games since i found them cheaper online. I asked the person I spoke to why i had to wait and come back to purchase the games and the response was «i don’t know why», real professional. Okay if you don’t have the game it happens I would have gone and gotten another game it happens. Also the only other reason I can think of is he thought I was trading games in but I was in there for a half hour browsing and he even asked if I needed help finding anything so I can rule that out. The only reason I can think of is he thought it was a joke a girl wanted to buy a resident evil game (kidding). After not being allowed to purchase a game I was willing to over pay for and given a unprofessional and nonsensical reason why I wasnt allowed to buy the game and I won’t be back.

This place is annoying as hell! You go in there and they start asking you questions right away. What if you go in to browse?! You call and they say you can reserve several games before even letting you talk.
I bought Mortal Kombat tourny version 150 usd right? The guy was trying to get me to buy other games. It’s like yo I’m spending 150 bux wtf would I want to put money down on additional games?! He called me «chief» after I told him that. What a rude prick! He wears glasses and has blonde hair (that is like every employee in there) and his name started with a C. Try trading in that game or any game and they try to rip you off. Buying games is a pain in the ass since they try to get you to buy more shit that you really never wanted or needed to begin with. It’s not a simple here is your receipt.
Today 10 – 24 –12, I called asking if they had a PS2 power cord, the guy is like no. I said okay thanks by… Before I could even say bye the prick cuts me off and tells me I can get one from their online store, before he can finish saying that I hang up on him. It’s like no shit you can get one from the online store I would’ve ordered from there to begin with you dumbass. But I called because I needed it today. –_​–
Go shop at amazon or best buy, at least you won’t get haggled as if you’re buying a car!

the place is only good as the staff and loved the staff there.

Was dreading returning a defective controller, so I came in on day 30 of the return window.
You know what I got? A no-​questions-​asked exchange, a friendly chat, and some advice on new games. Adam helped me this time, and I’ve always had great experiences here. A sociable group of folks who know and love their games and stand behind their customers.

Call me Stella, cus I’m gettin’ my groove [read: gaming] back!
I haven’t played video games for a while (not counting the occasional sports game), and it shows, because I’m pretty terrible… or at least worse than I remember.
Anywho, this place is great. They always have an informed point of view on the titles I have questions about. They let me know what’s really fun, what’s good, and what’s ok to take a pass on. Basically, they are straight shooters and seem to like their jobs. The result? I’m spending entirely too much on video games.
Deinfitely stop by here, especially if you’re newer to gaming or have been away for a while.

As much as I’d like to claim I’m a huge gamer, I’m really not. In any case, this is my local GameStop and I’ve been satisfied at every visit in the past 2 years. Most recently, I picked up Starcraft II during the midnight launch at this store. The staff that helped me in my journey to obtain the title I’ve been waiting for years to grab was very friendly and organized. I was 20^th in line by the time midnight struck and I received my copy in about 3 – 5 minutes. Awesome.
The staff also is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to all sorts of games of different genres. Definitely a better GameStop experience here than the one in Niles @ Golf Mill.

Not bad prices on used games, but their online used game prices are cheaper, and they won’t match their own prices. How dumb is that?

This particular Gamestop has everything you could as for from a video game store. I play on occasion and am what you’d consider a casual gamer. Don’t really know all the details of what’s out there and am not really up to date on what the most popular games are.
Thankfully the employees here do. Bored I stopped in and just asked if they had any suggestions for a good game to pass the time. The guy proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions of my interests and rattle off games like they were his own kids. He knew details, gave me background info, and even told me what others had been saying. He wasn’t salesy and even bashed some games that had not met his standards. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and candor and it helped me pick out some games that I otherwise would have never known about.
Good customer service is tough to come by these days so it’s always a treat when you come across a business that has employees who are passionate about the products they are selling.

So with absolutely no time to spare in my day I decided to drop off my XBox 360, which wasnt working correctly. Now I have a warranty up for a year still in effect. So i’m figuring I can get this taken care of before my busy couple of weeks at the ballpark starts and I won’t have to worry about not playing video games during my off hours. Unfortunately I got to the store too early, if thats possible. The guy at the register informed me that he could not help me because he didnt work there. He was from another store and Had no idea where or what they did at this store. And the people in charge of the store we’re currently in wouldnt be back til 7pm. I stood in shock while he expalined this, left the building, and then came back to make sure I had heard correctly what he had just told me minutes before. Needless to say I still need to get my XBox fixed.

For the love of god, get away from that Best Buy across the street and save your bucks here for a used one. CD quality is slightly less by a margin, as it would be for any used CD, but they are processed through quality control so you’ll more than for sure have a working title to take home. And hey, if it turns out it doesn’t work, turn in back in for another. But that’s never happened with me. I almost always pick up a used copy unless it’s something I’ve been dying to pick up on a release date.
Fortunately, and not surprisingly, the staff are very knowledgeable about current and upcoming releases. They will string you along to sign up for some membership, and sometimes they’re real dicks about it. Supposedly something to do with their personal quotas to fill per fiscal quarter or whatever. But I blame the corporate memo more than I blame them. But they’ve been more than aggressive about it at times.

from the time i first ran mario off the speedway, or dunked him in the drink, or had him repeatedly harangued by that snapping turtle, i knew video games were not my forte. however, everyone else in my family seems to be gifted in the ways of the games, so they’re always on the top of wish lists. i’m fine with playing santa or the easter bunny if i’m sent on a mission for a specific title, but at a total loss left to my own game ignorance.
the clerks here have always been more than helpful when i’m in a quandary, and i’ve found countless used games that have been absolutely reliable for some of my nephews’ older systems. i’ve never had a bad experience, and they really can’t be beat for selection.

In writing a review for this store, I cannot help but review the gamestop business model, that is, ridiculous margins on used games. I’m okay with it. For a lot of people, a game loses all value once completed. Gamestop is willing to pay me $ 5 for it? Okay, sure. And yeah, they’ll sell that same game for $ 15, but $ 15 is $ 15 bucks below the unused price for the same game. Plus, they let you return a used game any time within 7 days, and for store credit within 30, no questions asked. Fantastic.
As for the store, I think it’s a pretty good one. Everyone that I’ve seen working there is generally friendly and knowledgeable, and they never sell me too hard on anything. Good selection and display. I would definitely keep shopping there if I still liked to play video games.

I got my first game console for Xmas a Nintendo DS so I ventured out to get new games. Game Stop was high on my list. I was really impressed how clean and well organized the little store was and how knowledgeable the staff was. I bought two games and they were able to tell me bits and pieces about them. I thought that was Awesome. I cant wait to go back and buy more games. The other cool thing I found out is you can buy really cool games used. I will definitely be returning this Game Stop in particular.

I’m going to buck the trend here and say that this is probably the best Gamestop I’ve shopped at. The clerks are very knowledgable and willing to give you their opinions as to what you should spent your money on. Yes, they do TRY to get you to trade in your used games for nowhere near what they are worth, but you can tell they know its a corporate racket (i.e. they don’t push you like SOME slimey Gamestops I’ve shopped at). One kind-​hearted soul tried to stop me from buying Infinite Undiscovery! I understood he was trying to be helpful, but I was determined to pick up that mediocre Japanese RPG (lol don’t ask).
So, yeah! I recommend this place to gamers and non-​gamers alike! You won’t go wrong with these guys (and girls)!

This is the closest game store to the hubs and I. He’s like a little kid. «Oo Oo Oo, can we go to Gamestop and get pre-​order Madden?!?» I of course say okay, and peruse the DS games, I love my DS.
We were there this past Tuesday to pick up his Madden for 360 and for me to trade in that horribly hard USA Today Crossword and get CrossworDS.
I was sending a picture text of the upcoming «My Chinese Coach» to my friend when the worker was talking to me about having a Pearl too, and our love for DS’s. Both of us girls geeked out for about four minutes.
The workers at this location are quite knowledgeable and it hasn’t been busy when we’ve been there.

I’m an EDGE card member, so I get 10% off all used games. And that has definitely paid off because I’ve saved almost $ 100 with all the games, accessories, etc. that I bought.
There are actually pretty good deals I’ve found in the store. And the staff has always been really friendly. I come by so often, I think Adam, the manager, knows me right away on sight. He’s always spot on with his game recommendations. I really enjoyed playing Bioshock, Call of Duty IV, GTA IV, and Uncharted. I don’t feel as though I’ve ever been ripped off. But then again, I rarely paid over $ 40 for a game. Perhaps that’s why I’ve been coming less often.

yeah it’s a chain and they sell overpriced used games (NO used game should cost over $ 50). I don’t buy anything here but I’m writing a review for an admirable employee that was probably just following protocol.
A kid about 11 – 13 was trying to buy GTA: San Andreas to which the employee said he must speak with the kids parent. The mother came into the store yelling loudly into her cell phone and asked the employee why she needed to come. He told her of the ‘M’ rating on the game to which she said «OK, it’s fine.» He let her know the specifics of the extremely violent content in the game including prostitution, drug dealing and massive murder of any and everybody you feel like.
«whatever they no it’s not real, right kids?»
«right»
Great parenting, don’t get me wrong I love the game and all my games to be equally as violent and visceral but it is not a kids game. Entertainment doesn’t fuck kids up, parents that don’t give a shit do.
