I like this Currys PC World location, located on the upper level of the Manchester Arndale, while…read moreit may not be as large as the typical Currys PC World warehouse-style stores, which you typically see in retail parks and standalone stores, it still is a rather good location. They have done well to pack a lot into a store of its' size without making it feel too cramped, they have a nice selection of electronics including TV's, computers and miscellaneous tech. Since the closure of all Carphone Warehouse stores, they have added a small Carphone Warehouse kiosk, from the same parent company into the store. The staff seem friendly enough and able to answer most questions I had for them. I do really like how the store is in the city centre, but with it being a mall location, there are limitations, for example, the product range isn't as large as other stores (It would have made more sense to move into the nearby Clas Ohlson unit which is larger), and parking can be an issue, you don't want to have to carry around a big heavy electronic item around a shopping centre into their overpriced parking, or other car parks nearby. Pretty good Currys PC World store, I do think it would be nice if they had a better selection of more premium and higher-end laptops and similar. 4*

I have ordered a Nest Mini (twice on separate occasions). Due to some problems, both orders were…read morecancelled. However, I still have not received a refund (this was a month ago). I am not from the UK, but have managed to call a few times and I always receive the same answer "tomorrow or the day after". There is no email where one can contact them and the webchat does not cover this situation (I have tried this too). The bank won't return the money unless Currys PC World gives me some proof of the cancelled order, but they cannot be contacted in any way (or I receive the previously mentioned answer).

GAME is one of the leading retailers of games, with over 300 stores in the UK alone, and have…read morebecome more of a bigger brand since the merger of Gamestation and Game after they went into administration in November 2012. This particular store, is located in Manchester Fort and is a decent size. The staff here always seem nice, and they have always put things aside for me in the past, and it was easy enough to collect them, it seems to have good stock such as the Rugby 15 game on Xbox, which is like gold-dust, with every Argos in Greater Manchester having sold out, and even a good amount of Game stores. This store seems to stock a good range of games, as commented on above and the queues seem to not be out of hand, and just average based on my recent visit. One thing I do not like is that Game also have to charge 5p for a plastic bag now, although they have no control over this as it is a government scheme, I do feel that the charges should be more lenient when shopping in stores like Game, or even clothes stores. This store, as all game stores I know of, takes game rewards and you can receive your money off here, so that is good as it helps you save some money on your games, although it still doesn't beat the Tesco Clubcard scheme (although I can't comment too much, as I'm not a regular shopper at Game), but it still is easy to rake up a couple of pounds, and unlike Costa, you can knock it off whenever you want, whether it be 10p or 100 pounds, even if your item costs considerably more, or less than your balance. Overall, this is a nice store with very good staff and good stock, which is great competition for the very cool, all digital Argos store also in the retail park. I feel this store deserves 3 stars as it is a good store, although it isn't perfect with the pricing on numerous items.

All the games you want and right up to date with all the latest releases. Been to the store a…read morelot over the last couple of years the staff are always very polite and helpful. They also sell prowned games which are good quality and cheaper than new ones. They sell all the gaming consels as well. You can part exchange old games and consels. Keep up the good work Game.

All the staff here are friendly (floor workers and even the security guards!), and always happy to help and even stop for a little chat, most recently I was able to come back into the store, after noticing a lower price from Amazon, they were happy to match this price for me, the process was made so easy, I barely had to explain myself and was in and out of the store in a couple of minutes. I always prefer buying my Apple products directly from Apple due to their service, and warranty, the 14-day guarantee to try a product and return if it isn't fit for purpose, shows how Apple are so confident in their products. I also love how they have let me pick up my order earlier than the allocation window, and generally don't mind doing this as long as the item is in stock. This Apple Store is a large one, for a mall location, but what it lacks in having a big, fancy building, it makes up for in terms of being one of the best stores in the Manchester Arndale in terms of product selection and service and is always a reliable shout to buy Apple products or get them repaired, or even if you fancy popping in to get fast WiFi speeds while in town.

Had a terrible experience at the Apple Store in Manchester's Arndale today. Trading in an iPhone…read moreand was told that it would transfer to the new one within 10-15 minutes. Over an hour later, I was still there and had to go home and transfer it myself at home. I was passed between assistants three times - all going off on their break or whatever - each one trying the same thing over and over, until eventually, someone with some level of expertise located the problem. But this meant I had to go home and do it myself at home. And will have to return tomorrow to do the trade-in. More of my time and money and wasted because, frankly, the people who work there were not expert enough to troubleshoot. I thought it was poor being passed from one assistant to the other.

This branch of GAME is one of 2 in the Arndale, this is by far the biggest game in the Arndale, the…read moreother is just like a box. This is the store near Thorntons and WHSMITH. This is a bright store compared to other Game's, normally Gamestation's are dark and Game stores are bright and hence since the merger that hasn't change, especially with the Manchester Arndale's two branches. I came in here today, to ask the difference between the Day Zero and Standard edition of the new Call of Duty - After being given the Day Zero edition in the other game store, he explained the differences quite well, as I am not up with all the games in that catergary, he could of explained it better but I relativley understood even though his explination was more towards tbe stores target market of hard core gamers. Before going into administration, Game prices were really high priced, but now the prices have came down, they is some really good deals like they had for Black Friday and some, all year round but still some products are far too high compared to sites like Amazon. This store has a better selection than the other GAME store in the Arndale but this is probably because it is at least 3 times as big as it and the layout of games does seem easier to see. Despite being better than the other Game in the Arndale, as I have not purchased from this store in quite a long time, I can only match my rating for the other GAME store because I have not had a proper look at all their products and prices in this store, selection and bought a product in quite a while, It would be unfair to judge this store now on a experience of 1, 2 even 3 years ago so I can only judge based on my experience dealing with a member of staff and having a quick look round today.

pos and shelves are always of a high standard here and probably one of the best tech cabinets I…read moreknow of in most game stores..the staff here work hard to keep this place in good organised condition and it shows. They are always here to help and offer great advice to even experienced gamers who think they don't need it haha like myself.. Of course expect long queues if there is a new game release and especially around Xmas..but there's always the console area to help pass the time..that's if they haven't been nicked... Overall if you are not experienced in gaming and need to buy presents for those special occasions..come here..Oh and if you sell your phone here they will match CEX ..saves waiting in the CEX queue!

I've always found if you go to the Apple Store, you can be waiting even after your appointment time, but most of the time here they're happy to see me on time, or even a few minutes early/late either way, without much of a wait, just ring the RING doorbell and a staff member will come and assist, no problem. While there was a delay in ordering my iPhone 12 Pro Max, meaning I had to buy it from Apple instead as I didn't want to wait up to "30 days", I can't blame them for that as this would have been affected by COVID and government lockdown at the time. Sync has been providing essential services during all lockdowns and they've been doing a good job, I recently entrusted them to repair my Airpods under the SYNC3 warranty, and within days of dropping them off, they were replaced, I didn't even need my receipt as they found my details on the system, they called me as soon as they arrived and couldn't have made it more quick and easy, the only problem was I had to leave my old Airpods with them (They were still usable, but constantly disconnecting with connectivity issues to Siri, once or twice a day), but I understand this is to prevent people starting a repair, and then people don't come in and collect it, that wouldn't be fair on them, considering how fast it was, I had no problem borrowing some wireless headphones from my friend for a few days. 5* - Fast and Reliable.
