But as far as video game shops go, the Game Stop on Henry Street is la creme de la creme. Like the other Game Stops in the city, it offers some amazing sales. It has stacks and stacks of games for all consoles. It will give you money for your old video games or you can exchange them for a new or pre-owned game and pay the difference. Game Stop has the same scheme for DVDs which are located upstairs. You can exchanges your old movies for new ones and pay only two Euro. This deal beats any DVD rental place.

This store is really well laid out and they keep every segment well organised. The shop is also quite spacious and comfortable. The staff seem to be helpful, especially with parents not knowing what to buy, also they play some excellent music in the store. As always the major caveat is you can probably get better prices if your selling games etc elsewhere.

I have always trusted CeX as I've sold a number of phones over the years. I liked the way the were…read morevery thorough in ensuring it wasn't a stolen phone and always received a reasonable return in cash. This all changed yesterday, 7th September. I was looking for a simple Nokia replacement for my elderly father. For €45.00 I purchased a rather worn Nokia. However because it comes with a 2 year warranty I thought, well it must be a good phone. To my utter disbelief when I went to put the SIM card in I learnt those purchasing aren't getting value for money. I opened the back, it was absolutely filthy. They hadn't even bothered to clean the inside. Upon turning it on the phones memory hadn't been wiped either. Nobody bothered to set the factory reset button. I returned it immediately, I got my money back but I will not be going anywhere near CeX again. Honestly I thought you had a good reputation. I was able to buy a brand new Nokia 610 in a store a few hundred meters away. AVOID

Good store blighted by several issues, so without further ado, let's begin…read more The pricing here generally whips Gamestop's so-called bargains, which means that this store generally attracts a crowd. The best way is to get in early, and browse at your own leisure. Second-hand phone prices are insanely expensive, especially for anything with an Apple logo on it. Even someone with not a lot of money can find something here, as their game prices start at just 20 cent! That said, the issues are a problem: 1) Opening hours. Despite the fact that the staff members are often in the building 10-20 minutes ahead of time, they seem incapable of sticking to their 10am opening time. 2) New arrivals of stock are often not placed on sale until the following day, which renders the "check stock" function of their website pretty useless when you can't find what you're looking for. 3) Disorganized queue system. There could be as much as five people behind the counter, and only two of them will actually operate the registers. 4) Disorganized stock. Shelves can go for more than a week without being alphabetized or cleaned. Recently, a chocolate bar was left on one of the shelves, and two days later, it was still there. 5) Suspect buying practices. Three times now, I have been witness to staff members accepting shrink-wrapped products. True, the seller was asked to open the seal on these items prior to the purchase being made, but 18 copies of the same new release DVD, from the same seller, under these conditions?? 6) Price changes. This happens constantly, but the staff never seem to update the price tags, which confuses a lot of people. 7) No phone number on their website. Imagine this; you're travelling from Cork to Dublin and this store has something you're looking for. How can you reserve it when they don't provide a phone number? They have one, they just won't give it to most customers. So in closing, definitely visit here, but do it before noon because the stock will usually be in a jumbled-up state!

You'll find stock there that isn't readily available elsewhere, and yes, though some prices might be inflated compared to other stores, it's the bargains that you'll come to the store for. Lowest-priced DVDs in the country. FACT. Immaculately maintained store presentation, clean shelves and everything is alphabetized, so none of the headaches that you might find elsewhere when trying to find that one item you're after. In addition, a great team employed by this particular branch. Always friendly, and service with a smile which is really a valuable commodity these days. If they don't have what you're looking for, they'll find out who does. Hard-working bunch who probably don't get the credit they deserve, but it's people like them who attract the business back to the store.

Yes its a bit of a…read morewarehouse and I really have no idea why it looks like they alphabetised by they haven't... that just makes it more confusing. Essentially because there's so much stuff there you have to accept that you'll go for a wander to find the thing you need. Currently lego is right by the door, then its boys stuff, girls stuff, baby stuff and bigger things like bikes down the end (also computer games down the end if you want to by a treat for yourself while you're there!). On my latest visit I felt a bit bewildered on entering, but I still came out with the right toys that were needed... and also a jigsw for me that it could be argued that I did not need. Anyway I'm not sure if its the lack of little people that I need to buy toys for but I usually find myself pleasantly surprised with the prices at smyths. As a special bonus this particular store opens really late at Christmas - until 11pm I think, so if you need to buy toys but can't cope with children around its a godsend!

As a youth in the west of Ireland, Smyths was my El Dorado. Smyths toy stores were dotted around…read morethe country. (From a kid's perspective) the buildings were towering goliaths filled from floor to ceiling with toys, books, games and bikes. I thought every adult had to be an idiot for not wanting to work here. I now cannot think of a worse place to work. Screaming toddlers runing around in danger of scraping knees and bumping foreheads while mothers argue with their mothers about who's buying their little precious a Ben 10 wristwatch. That being said, Smyths is still one of the best toy shops in the country. They have an enormous amount of stock and their customer service is great. Not only that, they also have a 'software zone' which is pretty good for computer games and consoles. I do sometimes go into the Smyths back home for a bit of a nostalgic time wasting. Just not at Christmas. NEVER at Christmas.

We sold our PS3 and some games here, got an alright deal for the whole thing and traded for a PS4 and a new game. The girl who helped us with this was extremely nice and helpful and discussed with us the best deal to make the most of our money. She didn't make us wait around or anything, and while we had some coffe she took care of everything speedily as she promised. So we were both very pleased with the level of service. Other than games and consoles, you can find here toys and little gaming related gadgets, so if you need something like a Minecraft diamond (or in this case, foam) sword to adorn your personal space, look no further!

All that being said, I did buy my beloved Xbox 360 here a few years back and got a great deal, considering how much the Xbox was selling for at the time.
