I didn't think it was offensive as that is the company slogan, I said it to hype people up. I think what was done was a complete overreaction from the staff. Overall, this is a great store with great people and great things. Hell yeah!

Same for Xbox and other systems, even handheld. If you're looking for a hard to find old disc game this is your place. They host tournaments as well. Alot of tvs setup for gaming competitions. The staff is knowledgeable, but some are aloof on their phones at times. Great place for some old arcade machines but mostly catering to Japanese style arcade with DDR and other similar machines. Pretty cool. A good way to kill time if you're into gaming. Not alot for a little kid to do but there is skeeball and such

I can't say enough about how much we love the VU. M and I have lived in the area for a while and…read morestop by to grab a coffee or pastry probably close to once a week. The owner Kevin is there a lot of the time and he's super knowledgeable about movie options. First, the cafe aspect. Excellent coffees and homemade tea blends. They also offer monthly specials (on the chalkboard outside) that are often really tasty. Kevin is also a great baker and makes all their treats from scratch onsite. The cheddar jalapeño scone is our favorite but everything we've ordered is consistently good and there's a variety every time we visit. Next, the movie rental aspect. Basically it's your friendly neighborhood Netflix back when Netflix was mailing DVDs to people. $20/month for unlimited rentals, no more than 2 out at a time, and Kevin is quick to buy new movies as soon as they're available. They also have a mini private theater you can rent out for events like birthdays or to watch events like the Oscar's or Super Bowl. I haven't used that yet but it's cool to know it's there. Great neighborhood staple and one of those little businesses that makes you feel glad to live in a city. Strongly recommend!

The Vu is truly a hidden gem, and it's a shame that more people in Boston don't know about it!

Not only is the coffee delicious, but it's so reasonably priced, which is such a rarity these days. They also have a microcinema where they hold screening events. Super happy to have a spot like this in the neighborhood!

The selection is the definition of "a little bit of this and a little of that" because he is most likely to have games for the mainstream systems but the amount might be limited the more rare and niche it is but that is not the fault of the store. The value is a little over normal market price but that is okay compared to many other stores I went to which were more expensive. BUT the big problem I have with this store is the hours. I know the owner is having some medical problems but I think that these hours are way too short! I recommend moving the hours from 3-6 if you want to get the most customers in my opinion because you can get student customers who come from school after 2:00 and workers who finish their 9-5 jobs. But in conclusion the store is great but the hours is its biggest flaw.
