    This place does exactly what it says on the tin. Well, not the tin, the front door. It is a…read morecomputer game store that sells all sorts of games, consoles, accessories, books and everything else that your inner nerd could possibly want or desire. As well as selling stuff they also buy your stuff off you once you have completed it or got bored with it or whatever so thats a pretty good service and they give you a pretty good price. If you like games and what not then you can't go bad at this place. The shop itself is nice and light and the staff are polite and really know what they're talking about.

The staff are friendly in this store and will help you out of you're not too sure what you're looking for. They also have games charts which help you pick out the most popular games. I've only really had reason to get anything from a Games store for a former boyfriend, when I tracked down an elusive (at the time) Nintendo Wii and the Zelda game, which looked pretty cool. I sat through it all Christmas!! I don't really have a clue about computer games, I once drove round the race track for mario kart the wrong way round. Although I did win a bunch of lads at Streetfighter one night, but I think it was cuz I was drunk and kept pressing all the buttons frantically and round-house kicked their collective testosterone into another stratosphere!

    The idiocy of 'customer service' in Belfast baffles me, as readers of my reviews will know only too…read morewell. Into Cex I go to buy some stuff. I'm standing in the queue. There are two signs above the counter. One sign indicated that that particular counter with two tills is for people selling stuff. The other counter with two (or more) tills is for people buying stuff. I queue in the buying line, and quickly realise that all four tills are being used for people selling stuff. This is a process that takes time. The gadgets have to be hooked up, tested, examined, etc., so it's particularly stupid to have zero tills available for people to actually buy stuff. Then I see a customer who, upon observing that all four tills are being used to sell stuff, seems to presume that it must just be a free-for-all, and that all tills are available for buying and selling. This is not an unreasonable presumption, since no rational person could see the logic in a shop which is not selling anything, but only buying things. He, therefore, opts for the shorter queue, which is leading up to the tills which are officially marked for selling. Almost 15 minutes pass before I get served (there were no customers in front of me, by the way, other than the two sellers whose items were being tested). Ordinarily, I would have left, but I wanted to see how long it took, and I wanted to see if I was right about the unfortunate customer who joined the other queue. Yep, after waiting almost 15 minutes and finally getting to a till, the girl tells him that that till is for selling only. Marvellous. On top of this, there was a staff member standing near a vacant till in the 'buying' side the entire time. Did he, upon realising the folly of having a queue of customers with four staff buying and none selling, jump on the vacant till and seek to alleviate the unnecessary wait of the customers laden with products to buy? Did he think, 'If I were a customer waiting in the buying queue where people were selling things, would I want to wait unnecessarily?' Nope, he continued what he was doing. Wrapping. Masking tape, duct tape, bubble wrap...the guy just stood there wrapping the entire time. Maybe the staff here aren't privy to the business model of the company. Now, I haven't been to any Cex franchise meetings; I'm not Facebook friends with Paul Farrington; and I've never received a Snapchat request from Robert Dudani. But I know for a fact that an integral part of the Cex business model is to sell things. Maybe they should mention that in staff training?

    I just don't understand this place. Maybe its because I'm not a gamer, I'm only looking at it from…read morethe point of view of the hardware. As other reviewers have pointed out, the checking process is the staff having a bit of an albeit structured 'play about' with the hardware with arbitrary conclusions drawn as to its value. What gets me is that quite often you se tablets/phones/laptops/consoles on sale here for high enough prices that if you put an extra £20 into your purchase you could buy a brand new machine from the manufacturer or, if getting it for the lowest price possible, eBay is going to deliver a much more competitive shopping experience....... I just don't get it.

I immediately thought of the Repair Lounge down to the their catchy radio ads. First up, it's pretty easy to find, opposite the junction of Tates Avenue on the Lisburn Road. If you're driving park on one of the many side streets rather than trying to get a space on the Lisburn Road. The shop itself is minimal, you walk in and you are presented with platformed area, don't let this put you off, that's where the phone fixers sit. When I went in (about 3pm on a Monday) the two guys were noticeably busy, one on the phone and one in the middle of dissecting an iPhone but I waited patiently. Once they were free I asked how much and how long it would take to get my phone screen repaired. They then explained to me that it varied from £100 - £140 depending on the quality of the glass used for the screen. This didn't put me off as I expected it to be in that area. What did put me off was the wait - they explained that they had a huge back log of phones to repair and with Monday being delivery day I couldn't get it repaired straight away. This wait made me go somewhere else, but the experience wasn't bad at all. I understand that it's a skilled job to fix these devices and that Monday is their busiest day - especially after all the weekend smashes! Cool set up and really knowledgeable staff - I'll be back no doubt!
