When they tested my ps4 the hdmi port wasn't working and 2/3 controllers were not working as well. I came to trade in my stuff at GameStop instead and the ps4 was working perfectly and 2/3 controllers were working! I'm confused why Luna games said that my ps4 wasn't working properly and few of my controllers. I'm not sure if I recommend trading consoles here I'm usually full support of smaller game businesses maybe today they didn't take extra steps to see if my trade in was working properly? Anyways I still love buying games here I highly recommend this was my only confusing experience at this location so far.

Typically we'd hit up game stop but those seem to be closing. Hubby found Calico and so we took a quick trip over. Wowzer! They practically had an entire wall of Xbox 360 games which was Perfect. Store is well organized and staff was friendly. This place is better than GameStop. We left with several games all well priced. I'm sure this won't be their last time visiting. The boys are happy to have found this little gem. Easy parking too in lot.

I've spent hundreds of dollars at Throwback Gamez because I genuinely like supporting mom-and-pop…read moreshops, but today I learned apparently you need a bachelor's degree in Pokémon Card Sciences before you're allowed to negotiate here. I'm getting back into Pokémon cards after collecting as a kid. Now I'm grown, have some money to spend, and figured it would be fun getting back into the hobby. Obviously I don't know every single thing about card conditions, pricing, sets, etc. yet. They had a card for $52. I looked it up and found one for $33, so I offered the guy $45. Seemed reasonable to me. What I DIDN'T notice was that the $33 card was listed as heavily played. My bad. I didn't know. I'm still learning. Instead of just saying, "Hey man, that $33 one is heavily played, ours is in much better condition, that's why it's $52," this dude looks at me like I just tried trading him a Caterpie for a Charizard and goes: "Why would I do that? That's my price. That one is all fucked up." BROTHER I DIDN'T KNOW. Then he basically tells me next time I need to learn and do my research before trying to make deals. Damn Professor Oak, my fault. I thought I walked into a card shop, not my final exam at Pokémon University. The funny part is I WASN'T trying to lowball the guy. I legitimately thought $45 was a fair offer based on what I had found. All he had to do was explain the difference and I would've been like, "Oh shit, okay, that makes sense." Instead he made me feel like an idiot for not knowing something. Then another guy walks in who obviously knows his Pokémon cards and suddenly the employee evolves into his final form. Now he's friendly, talking cards, buddy-buddy, having a great time. I'm standing there like damn, apparently I need 8 gym badges before customer service gets unlocked. Maybe the AC being ass had him irritated. Maybe he was hungry. Maybe Team Rocket stole his lunch. I don't know. But the customer service today was TERRIBLE. And that sucks because I actually like this store. I've spent hundreds here and specifically come here because I want to support a local mom-and-pop shop instead of buying everything online. Not everybody walking into a card shop is going to know everything about Pokémon. Some of us are getting back into something we loved as kids and finally have adult money to spend on it. Instead of making those customers feel stupid, teach them something. I promise you, we're probably the easiest people to sell cards to.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and had a pretty good experience. They had an interesting selection…read moreof games but definitely low stock on N64 and Gamecube games. There was only one employee working and it took a while to get help. However, he was super knowledgeable and helped me find the memory cartridge I was looking for. It was priced pretty well and I haven't had any issues with it. FYI, this store sells a lot of non-OEM products.

Best game store out there! All their games and consoles are reasonably priced based on the quantity…read moreof said product and its rarity/condition. Speaking of, almost anything you buy there works as if it's brand new, and they have plenty of options. It's also nice that they have modern game options too even if you're like me and are searching for retro titles. And on top of that they sell posters, figurines, accessories/toys, merchandise, and so much more. This place really has it all. They don't have everything right away which can be disappointing at times, but given they're primarily a retro resale store, I'm not gonna expect them to have every single gaming product to have ever been sold available and ready. I'm not just here to glaze though. It is a bit disappointing when they have an abundance of some console games like PlayStation and Xbox but don't have as much in stuff like Wii, GameCube and SNES/NES. If anything I'd say their retro Nintendo selection could use some upgrades. And while I normally hate when companies and businesses implement a bad "point system" that sensitizes you to buy more, having something to stack up on whenever you revisit would be nice. Other than that this is a fantastic store, and I highly recommend to anyone either trying to get into retro gaming and want a simple and affordable gaming experience (like me :D), or if you're a collector hoping to stock up on unique or select titles. Also: You can TRADE IN your gaming products for cash or store credit, both much better than however GameStop handles their stuff. You get a really good deal for whatever you trade in and it's almost always worth it. Their game to credit/cash ratio is a bit small compared to what you'd get for a console, which does make sense, but it can feel unfair to get 7-10 dollars on a 35+ dollar title you trade in. Otherwise? Absolutely worth it.

One of the $5 bills they gave me was fake, and even counting that 5, they short changed me by a few dollars of what they said. So if you want to come here to sell games, just be careful and don't be shy to check the money in front of them before leaving

This is by far my absolute favorite GameStop in the county! The service here is always phenomenal…read more The manager is always kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The staff is both equal parts, professional, and also personable. They really go above and beyond to help customers out. And if they don't have the answer, they do their absolute best to help you regardless. The store is incredibly well put together, demonstrating a master class in organization, accessibility, approachability, and remains eye-pleasing to customers; it's a clean, organized, and attractive store. The location itself is also very convenient, with good parking near an area with a lot of other excellent businesses that are easy to navigate. The selection is usually good, and if they don't have what you're looking for, they are quick to make ample recommendations and work with you. The value may be set by corporate, which could be a hit or miss, but that is definitely not at the fault of the location. Overall, I cannot recommend this GameStop location enough. Even if you need to go out of your way a couple minutes or miles, if you're going to choose a GameStop location, then you'd be hard/pressed to not pick this one.

They have used books, used CDs, used DVDs, video games, anime stuff, manga, and probably a lot more that I didn't see. The alphabetizing of the products is somewhat creative, and sometimes just plain wrong, but the good news is I picked up about seven or eight used books that I had been looking for. I thought the book prices were mostly very fair; however, I thought the CD prices were high. I browsed the DVDs and there were good titles available. The store was very clean but was quite crowded during our visit. This is an interesting store, albeit not a relaxing one, but you can find some nuggets here if you invest the time. I would return.
