    This place is amazing if you love retro games, and movies. The warehouse is pretty big, and so much stuff in here, that it's hard to concentrate on one area. They have everything from the last 50 years of video games all the way up to PS5 and Switch 2. New games and used. Some with boxes and some just cartridges. They have accessories for all systems, and even sell pretty much any console you're looking for. No matter what your budget, you'll find something here, from $1 all the way up to thousands for super rare games. The only drawback here is that everything is either behind glass (don't lean on glass) or behind the cabinets on shelves and only accessible by an employee. They do have paper lists of all games for all systems with prices, so you can search for what you want and ask an employee to get it for you. I had a lot of fun feeling nostalgic and spending a good 90 minutes in here, and walked out with 9 games for different consoles. They also have a rewards program.

    My experience with Game Dude was extremely negative. I believe their business practices are dishonest and exploitative toward customers. If you plan to sell a console or a video game there, be very careful: they even charge you just to inspect your items and offer ridiculously low amounts for products that are in excellent condition. For example, they offered only $70 for a console and then claimed it had scratches to deduct more money. If you decide not to sell, they still charge a $15 "inspection fee", which is completely unreasonable. Their pricing margins are outrageous: a game that sells new for $70 might be bought from you for only $2, and then resold at nearly full price. In short, their valuation and buying practices are opaque and clearly designed to take advantage of customers. I strongly recommend not buying or selling at Game Dude. Platforms like eBay or other resale sites offer fairer and more transparent deals. Avoid this place if you value your money and your time.

    DECENT TRADE IN VALUES! No hassling aloud and they want your decision on spot so know that. Big store too!

    The first time I went here was when I was a teenager to sell some Wii games. I think I got a good deal for them. Recently, I've been going here the past 4 weeks to buy skylanders since I've been feeling nostalgic. I thought that I was getting them for a good price, each Spyro's Adventure figure is $3, each giant from Giants is $6, and each swapper from Swap Force is $8. It turns out that other retro game stores, not in LA, sell skylanders from Spyro's Adventure and Giants for $0.15 and $0.25. The Spyro's Adventure and Giants figures are supposed to be common so you'd think that they'd charge less. I know that retro game stores need to turn a profit, but they have a lot of stock. All the skylanders aren't shown through the shelves because the employees haven't gotten around to placing them there or there isn't enough space so it would make sense to sell the skylanders at a cheaper price. I wanted to sell some extra skylanders I had. Because the store was short staffed, I had to wait 40 minutes or so. When they got to me, I was told that they could only buy one for $0.50 since it's from Trap Team and it was in the starter pack. They already had enough of the others.

    Black friday sales. Cant wait

    I've been coming here since I was a kid, many years ago. It's always been a great spot for classic video games at a reasonable price. They also sell DVDs and Blu-rays. I picked up my entire Dragon Ball Super collection (all seasons) for about $40, which is a pretty good deal. The only issue is the communication, when you call, you often get different information than when you visit the store. This can be frustrating, especially when you drive over based on what you were told on the phone, only to find out things are different when you arrive. I've run into this most often when trying to sell stuff, like when I tried to sell my PS2. But aside from the inconsistent communication, this place has pretty much everything you need and more. It's straightforward, and I'm looking forward to their Black Friday sales.

    Had a good experience here before. I have only written a handful of bad reviews in my life, and I do so with great discretion. I don't care how busy you are, or how bad your day is, you should never talk down to a customer. Grumpy I can tolerate. This was next level. It was busy, so we asked for help and made sure they understood that we were in no hurry, and to take their time. It's Easter weekend and it was busy. Dorian snapped at us twice, the most rude customer service I've experienced in a decade. We tried to shake it off and diffuse the situation by letting him know that we didn't want any trouble, and reminded him that we would have waited as long as it took to be helped. No apology. Passive aggressive and derogatory. Brian took over after seeing how agitated Dorian was with us. I sincerely appreciate his willingness to help out and apologize for the inconvenience. Brian really is a kind representative. A little patience goes a long way with us. We've both worked in hectic and chaotic jobs for years. I know how stressful it is. Please be respectful and polite, as you'd like to be treated.

    See all

    Do not buy or sell at gamedude if you don't want to get ripped off. I recommend buying from eBay or Mercari for great deals.
