They still have the usual 2/$20 type of deals but they sell coffee mugs for $25 so it's a mix. If you can't find what you're looking for they can order it in for you. The place is worth a browse:)

Workers are rude as hell and not helpful at all in finding vinyl. They laughed and were passive…read moreaggressive when asked to help find arctic monkeys (they must not like the arctic monkeys). They also called my music taste "basic". I guess someone who exclusively shops at Hot Topic thinks they are the pinnacle of entertainment. When I asked why they were laughing at my choice in vinyl, they explained that they were being "personable". Unfortunately for them, I speak to people on a daily basis and I have never met anyone as low energy and rude as them. I suppose personability and and passive aggression are easy to mix up for a socially rejected metal-head. DO NOT GO HERE. YOU WILL BE ABUSED BY WORKERS.

Great visit.

Including the album playing, the owner came out to talk to me about it...he was a lil bummed cause his copy was not as clean, and I had no idea who the band was but only that the music was rockin! He said,"well, its playin in the store, I can see that yur feelin it, customer gets it" Prolly helped that he saw I had a fat stack of greatness, but still. Super nice guys, Big ups to the 45 man there too! wow, that reggae section! Man...I Gotta get back up there! Keep on doin it Into The Music!

Yes, everything is piled up and nothing is organized, but... I always figure those are the best places to dig for treasure. True that some of the stuff is too far gone to have value, but that's in the minority. Don't look for price tags, they're not there - everything is up for negotiation, but the prices asked are reasonable.

The stacks, however, are a bit tiresome to sort through.

If you want to spend an hour…read moreor two getting endlessly lost in mounds of books, records, comics, and what have you's this is the place for you. Or maybe you just want to giggle at the funny posters and dusty wacky toys hidden in the store. Surprisingly, there is a bit of organization amidst the chaos and books are categorized in sections and separated from other stuff. I've found some pretty great stuff in the poetry / essays area. Check out the art and photography section - you might find a great tabletop book. If you're waiting for a table at any of the restaurants around the corner it's worth stopping into and the building is incredibly beautiful and old if you can get past the dust and paper. Good luck finding something!

I love Planet of Sound! My husband and I have been going there for years while living in Winnipeg…read more Two years ago, we moved to Ontario, but we always come back and check out what POS has to offer whenever we are in town, and never leave empty handed. They have a great selection of DVDs, Bluray, CDs, vinyl, and video games. They are our first choice when trading in. We have tried other places but POS gives us good returns for our trade ins. We have tried other places closer to where we live now, but they fall epically short. The best part of Planet of Sound though are the people working there. Such great guys that care about their clients. Every time we go in, they recognize us and remember us. They could tell us things we had purchased in previous visits and ask how we are doing. We are very impressed by their service. This is why we come back time and time again. Definitely check them out if you are in Winnipeg!

In the children's section, the staff ask the kids what they like (funny or serious, make believe or real, etc) until a perfect book is found.
