I appreciate the fact that they are adapting to stay in business, but I don't think they are going to be around for much longer. With the adapting they have morphed into something akin to Spencer's or Hot Topic. Catering to the entertainment portion in the name. Anything you can think of that can hold a picture or logo for a brand of a movie, tv show, or musical act, they most likely have it. They seem to put a huge emphasis on anime. I came in to browse the vinyl. However, there really wasn't a lot of them to go through. After a few minutes of browsing, I got tired of looking at things and decided it was time to leave.

We will never shop at this location again unfortunately. A worker, Kim, has a personal issue with a…read moremember of my family. Another member of our family walked in only to purchase something he can't find anywhere else. He's under 18 and was confronted by this worker and thrown out. Never approached Kim. Was only minding his own. Not only did she kick him out she called security to have the member she has an issue with tossed out of the mall completely. He wasn't even near her. He was somewhere else shopping. She then took it a step further and called the local police! My kids are now terrified to even go to that mall period not knowing if security will be called on them too. Thanks fye for not stepping in when Kim wasn't approached threatened or even spoken to. No one should have to worry if she's on shift and decide who is and isn't allowed to shop

Game Station since my last visit has moved to Old Forge. Parking is on the street and was easy to…read morefind. Interior is much larger than the old location, with plenty of room. Selection in the overall store is what I would call average, with a decent selection of various games. Console selection seemed limited. DVD/Blu-ray stock was decent and cheap, but perhaps a bit lacking. Where I think Game Station stands out is the selection of in box games, which can be difficult to find but were not cheap. They also had a reasonable selection of games for rarer systems like the Sega CD. Overall, if you are a local, Game Station is probably not a bad store to stop in and check out. I'm not sure I'd travel out of my way to check out the selection.

On my first visit, I brought two boxes of (mostly boutique-label) DVDs/Blu-rays, and got a trade/cash offer that makes 2nd & Charles and FYE look like bigger chiselers than they already are. Substantial movie selection, split up by genre (Blu-rays have their own section), with a fairly even variety of used discs and rare/OOP titles in original shrink-wrap. Overstock movies have their own sections, with a "colored dot" bulk discount (good way to pick up some mainstream titles). I browsed for a little over an hour, but could've stayed even longer. The trade credit more than covered the stack of movies I picked up. And they even let me take along some cardboard boxes for an upcoming move. Will definitely be back.

Young Ones Records is phenomenal--- from inventory to aesthetics. Blown away by Young Ones!…read more First thing you notice when you walk into Young Ones is the massive amount & wide range of well organized VINYL (all arranged alphabetically by genre. Really! ...when you see how much inventory they have...you will be doing this too). THEN, you feel & see how much care is taken in the choice of all Young Ones has to offer: vinyl, CDs, DVDs, blu RAY, video games & systems (Yes!) to the beautifully displayed tapestries, posters, concert posters, books, mugs, tshirts, and sooo much more. I just walked around there with my mouth open in amazement for the first hour I was there. The owner & staff are connected to the local music scene, supporting local musicians & venues ... dedicated to promoting artists and bringing you the music you want! It's easy to see how Young Ones Records has been going strong for over 30 years. Just phenomenal. Hats off to this independently owned business (same owner for its entirety!) for being the best!

I drove over one hundred miles to Soundcheck this morning for Record Store Day, and I wouldn't have…read moredone that if their customer service wasn't so great. I want to say, I don't collect records, I collect CDs, this was actually my first record purchase ever so I was nervous and desperate to get it. So I was grateful that when I called the Tuesday before that they informed me of the single copy of the record I wanted that they would have in stock (King James Version, Harvey Danger!). The day of I was late but lucky, as nobody had taken it yet, and when you were in line they had someone who would help find records for you. Yelp is insisting I say something about value, so I will say that this had an extremely fair price. This was a limited run collectors item and I know for a fact that they priced it well within the usual range for it sold throughout the states, even though they are a very small business is a very small town in the middle of PA. Not saying I expect small businesses to price gouge a little, but for this record and on this big record store day, I did expect to pay a premium and I got a very fair price. So these are honest people as well as helpful. Thank you!

What an awesome little find in Jim Thorpe, PA!…read more If you're a music lover, this place is definitely worth a visit. Soundcheck Records has an impressive selection of CDs and, believe it or not, cassettes for those who appreciate a little nostalgia. Their new vinyl inventory is outstanding, with plenty of albums spanning a variety of genres and artists. When I stopped in, the used vinyl section was a bit limited because many of the records had sold quickly--which is usually a good sign. One look at the prices and it's easy to understand why. Their pricing is fair and collector-friendly, making it hard to leave empty-handed. Beyond the music, they also carry concert T-shirts, mugs, and other music-related merchandise. I was also happy to find a nice selection of discounted Record Store Day vinyl releases, which is always a treat for collectors. What really sets this shop apart are the owners. They're incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about music. If they don't have what you're looking for in stock, they're happy to special order it and even have it shipped directly to you. Jim Thorpe is full of unique shops, and Soundcheck Records is one of the best. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in--you never know what musical treasure you might discover.
