Hands down the worst GameStop I've ever been to. For some context: We excitedly came here on release for the newest Pokemon set Phantasmal Flames. The staff were rude, condescending, and carried a noticeable superiority complex. They aggressively pushed the Pro membership and even questioned customers decision with disrespectful comments. I still can't believe management allows employees to speak to customers that way. Some of the snarky comments I overheard when some customers declined the membership was: "Everybody says that, but I'll see you next week," and, "That's not a smart decision, but okay." They also said things like, "You waited an hour in line and you're still turning down the Pro membership?", "Okaaaay then.". It's honestly disgusting that they think talking to customers like that is okay. I get that release days are busy and they want to push memberships, but the attitude and behavior they show while doing it is completely unprofessional. Nothing good will come from them being so aggressive with their clientele. I won't be coming here again. read more

Update. I went in and called while inside the store. 3 employees. 2 customers (including myself and I wasn't being helped). The two available employees are talking about personal things and letting the phone ring. I called 3 times back to back seeing if one would pick it up and no, no answer. I guess their conversation was more important than the business phone. Anyway, if you are looking for help... don't bother calling. Just go in. read more

Never coming back to this store. I came to pick up some Pokémon cards from the new Phantasmal Flames release, and the guy running it was rude. The workers at the register were rude too, and even the manager made comments whenever someone said no to the Pro Membership. The guys at the register were just as bad. They act like it's a problem if you don't want the membership and make rude comments when you decline, which makes the whole interaction uncomfortable. I shouldn't be bullied into a membership. Watching how they treated the customers ahead of me who said no made me feel uncomfortable just waiting for my number to be called. I wanted to leave within seconds of being let in there, and only stayed because I had waited in line for a while and Pokémon cards sell out fast. I will never come back to this store. These employees lack respect and basic manners. read more

After a bad experience at my usual Canyon Springs Gamestop with refusal of service, I headed on over to this location and was provided amazing customer service by Nathan and Nico! They were very friendly and helpful and had no problem looking into a trade-in value promotion that I saw on their company website that was for today only 1/26/26. They were a little surprised at the excellent promotional value offered, but did confirm that the offer also showed up in their system. They indicated that they would have to make a phone call to a higher up to confirm, but I didn't mind because at least they were making an effort to look into the matter, unlike other Gamestops I could mention. After getting confirmation, they happily provided the trade-in value quoted on both the website and in their system. I left a very happy customer and am very thankful to Nathan and Nico for such wonderful assistance! I will have to come to this location more often. read more

Customer service is good but this towards the company as a whole. Star Wars Topps Galaxy just came out recently, and GameStop is selling at market value as opposed to retail value. Why are you selling it at such an inflated price? I have asked store associates about seeing cards being priced so high, and they said GameStop will go for market prices after something has been out for a year or more. Galaxy isn't even a month old at they're already selling it almost $100 over retail price. read more

Ben is bad vibes. Selectively polite to some folks and flat-out rude to most. Don't know what his problem is but he is very bold and border-line bullies customers to try to sell them stuff or acts like any question you ask him is the stupidest question ever. I try to disarm people like him with kindness, but it's like talking to a wall with a superiority complex. I've come here several times and dread any time he's there, which is almost every time. Luckily, most of what I had to do yesterday was a trade-in with another employee named Jose, who was actually very helpful and nice, but I wanted to make a purchase with my trade-in credit after I got out of line to decide what I wanted and Ben did the transaction. He asked if I wanted to buy a warranty for a controller and I said no and he said with a cocky tone, "okay, see ya in a couple months when you want to trade it in for stick drift." Mocking my decision to my face as if the product I'm buying is going to break right away--ew bro, get out of here with that. This is what quota-based service results in. I just clicked my tongue and gave him a disapproving smile. Got out of there soon as possible after and never going back there again. During my trade-in I wanted to trade in some switch joy-cons I wasn't using for a while but they weren't charged and Jose was trying to see a solution and asked Ben for assistance who said, clearly bothered, "Did you bring your switch? If there's no way to test them, we have to enter them as defective." If that's GameStop's policy they lost another customer if they give someone the leeway to act like a jerk to customers. Sucks that there's no way to report employees like this to the company. Locations get avoided for employees like Ben. I sure am avoiding this place at all costs now, which might be what Ben wants, but I don't think that's how GameStop would feel... read more

This has always been my go too GameStop solely for the fact it's the closest to my house and growing up we'd always check out the GameStop. Over time not exactly sure what went wrong buts is fairly obvious with the amount of price gauging that happens in this store or at GameStop in general? It's weird to see consumers just eat it up though. I've made a few hefty purchases and the staff is normal for the most part until they're trying a little too hard to either push their upsale or warranties. For Christmas I bought my friend a video game here and I bought myself a game too alongside the rewards membership and honestly, the value isn't all that there and not usually worth it. Not to mention I bought two alleged brand new games but they were missing all manuals and included posters. (They came with the manual so it's not like they were in short supply) and when I came to ask about it. They simply shrugged it off and said ask Sony.. I tried reaching support and I've been left unanswered since December 15th. Honestly just not even worth the hassle, in my experience targets been the better option. Looking forward to canceling my account. So all I can say is when looking for games or consoles, there's better alternatives than GameStop. read more

I went here on May 17 after going on a hike at Mt Rudiboux and eating at the nearby Habit burger place. This had been the first time I'd gone to a GameStop in a while. The service was decent. The worker up front was helpful and kind, especially when I felt a bit clumsy when asked if I had a membership. As for what I bought, it was two pre-owned PS3 games for a total of 15 bucks, which was a good deal. Unfortunately, one of the games was buggy and didn't work halfway through, but that's the price of buying pre-owned. Overall, I was glad to have stopped by here. My friend, who is a gamer, nudged me and my friends to go in and it's because of him that I sorta got back into gaming. read more

Ben, Jose, Patrick, and Ricardo! Great associates! I love the Nintendo Switch 2! Very happy with it and enjoying every day!

Only come here if you have the entire day they move like snails and have no idea how to properly run a store and take care of the customers in a reasonable time. I waited in line for 1 hour only to walk out and all I need is two controllers read more

Had a bad phone experience with a manager named Patric was extremely rude and unprofessional. I was given a corporate number that was not a working number so I called back and asked if he could give me another number he said nothing he could do for me and that I refused to understand that. I asked him if I could leave my number so the store manager could call me , " you don't understand no one can do anything for you " is what I was told and he proceeded to hang on me I of course was livid !!! Over a price difference less then a week later my original question was simply can I get a 50$ credit for the price difference I have my receipt and all I will no longer spend a dime at game stop plz shop somewhere else !!!! read more

Very good. Lots of games at this particular stop. Big fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise and this location has a lot of selection for new and used AC games. Overall good store I would say. read more

Came in to pick up a ps5. Patrick and the staff were very helpful. They gave me options and explained everything in detail. Good crew. Purchased a ps5, membership, and warranty. I feel good about my purchase. Good value. Satisfied customer. read more

This use to be my go to store nothing out the ordinary just good ol game stop but I had a experience there with one of their employees that really shifted my way of viewing the store. On top of having me wait 3mins with no one in line just to help since he was busy looking at game cases and instead of helping me fix a issue I had happen their prior to that visit the employe (blond guy five below looking justin b with jewelry) just wanted me out the store with a refund. Like I didn't pre order the game for nothing or instead of enlightening me about the situation rather wanted me gone asap. I just wanted a renewal on rewards and dbz pre order info lol read more

this GameStop is my local game store. its always a great experience and great staff. Also the associate named Patrick he made sure that all my problems and questions where answered and went above and beyond read more

Patrick was an excellent associate that went above and beyond for customer service as well as gave me very detailed subscription understandings. He deserves a raise! read more

Just picked up a wireless controller thinking it was a pro controller. Got no help or info about it but When I try to go back and return it the same day they tell me I can't because it is opened how else is a customer supposed to try out the product. Typical horrible GameStop read more

I used to come to this Gamestop all the time when I was growing up. I stopped going by the time I was 16 or 17 and was buying games online for about 10 years before I decided to come back to Gamestop for old times' sake. Now I go frequently for preorders of games or just browsing all the collectibles and merchandise they sell now that they didn't have when I was a kid. It's a smaller location than other Gamestop stores, but it has a nostalgic quality for me. I'm a Pro Member and I appreciate all the coupons and the improvements to their trade-in values they've made over the years. I've had good experiences with the employees here too as they are always nice and helpful. read more

I tried buying my Pro membership online for $20. I didn't end up getting it even though I had been charged for it and it came out as a charge on my bank statement. I complained to Customer Service and they gave me points to spend it here. The guy in the store Jorge was telling me that I couldn't spend it on a Pro membership. I'm never shopping here again and I'm deleting my online account. Seriously, the hell with Gamestop!!! read more

Yea I think you should go there and they have one of the best service and some good worker there

I stopped in to buy my 8yr old son the new Mario Wonders game. I was helped by a gentleman named Patrick and let me just say his customer service went above and beyond. Thank you for making my sons night he was so happy with his purchase and only wants to go to this game stop location going forward. read more

bought a used ps4 controller, it didn't work, was flashing red as soon as I got it, went back the next day to get it replaced, this one won't stay connected, won't keep a charge, it isn't working. Don't recommend this place. the people there sound like complete nerds... read more

Received a phone call tonight from the nicest person named Mel. He was calling to let me know my deposit on some game reservations I had made would be expiring meaning I would lose the money. He said he could move it over on to another game and I wouldn't lose the money. What amazing customer service and care for the customers. I have never experienced anything like this at any other GameStop. Kudos to you Mel! Keep it up! This guy is an asset to your business. read more

This is my favorite Game Stop location (355 Riverside Plaza Drive). Front door entrance hospitality, prompt service, friendly and professional staff. The Establishment is organized and clean. Variety of game selection. Games and items that my grandson's come to GameStop to purchase are usually there and if not the staff always calls a near store for pick up for inquired orders. Helpful with game age-appropriate purchases. The atmosphere is great at GameStop from beginning to end. There is always enough parking space. A Big thanks to manager Nicole, Ray, Adam, Jose and all the staff at GameStop Riverside Plaza! read more

Gamestop - Synchronizing with one of the fantabulous staff members at GameStop!! - Video Game Stores Near Me - Riverside, California

10/15/21. Guy working The Cash register was very rude. I asked to have a quarter broken into Pennie's as my kid likes to throw them into the fountain right outside. He responds with "We're not a bank." No sh*t Sherlock, I thought I was in Deutch Bank?! If you don't have basic customer service skills don't get a job in customer service. I can tell business are desperate for new hires. By the way I got change from here a week prior so I know he was full of it. read more

So I'm really big on games and when I come here it's the highlight of my day. Problem is that I don't like ordering things online cause I'm weird and "different" lol. So does anyone know the schedule with this COVID-19 stuff cause Ik before it used to be from 10 am - 10 pm (I'm pretty sure) so can someone please tell me the schedule. Thank you! read more

My husband went to another location on university where he got horrible service. We called this location and Ricardo above and beyond for us! Without even knowing what my husband just went through. We were looking for a ps4 and VR set for our daughters birthday present, and he checked to see what store had it, and even offered to call and have them hold it for us! Thank you so much Ricardo! You made us very pease and one 8 year old very happy! read more

So I am super late on this review, but better late then never! I want to say about two-three weeks ago I purchased a used PlayStation 4 at one of Game Stops Redlands locations (Citrus Plaza). Well the next day after mulling over my decision I decided I made an impulse buy and I should return the system, I have my Xbox One with two new games, I didn't need the extra system at that moment. So I returned to the same store early in the morning when they first opened and was informed that unfortunately at that time they did not have the bank to make the return transaction because the return would have to be made in cash. Basically what they were telling me was I'm sorry but we don't have enough cash in my register to give you the return amount. I smiled and said, "That's no problem, I understand. Can I come back later maybe?" (I have worked retail before and I'm a server now so I have defiantly been in situations were I couldn't get into my register or didn't have enough change and at freak moments there is no manager to help me correct the situation) So I wasn't about to get upset over something so minor. I was told to return around 3 and she should have enough for the return. I returned around 3 and again was told the same thing, again I smiled and told her, "No problem, I can go to another game stop correct?". The woman helping had already told me I could go to another store that morning I just wanted to confirm. The next store was only a couple exists down the freeway so it was no big deal to go there. Unfortunately for them their system had just went down and they were scrambling to get it back up when I walked in. The two gentlemen speaking to me were super friendly, but even they told me, "Even if the system was up we don't have the cash to make the return either, but you can go to the Citrus location they do more sales then us". I laughed and told them they were the ones that sent me here. We laughed about that and I wished them luck with there system and set out to find another store. This time I was a bit smarter, I called the next three locations. The first was the San Bernadino location in the mall. Again I was told they didn't have the bank for the return ($250 dollar cash return). The second location in Colton told me the same thing. Finally, the Riverside location at the plaza told me they would be happy to make the return. The man on the phone, who I'm sorry I didn't catch his name but I'm sure will remember this story, took this call one step further by collecting all the information I have written above and told me that all the locations I visited previously and called could absolutely do the return and were just refusing to. He told me that I could walk in to any of them and demand that I make the return. I laughed and just asked if it would be ok if I came to them because I just really didn't want to deal with the negative conflict, he said absolutely. So I made the trip out there, not too far only a 25 minute drive from where I was at, and I was greeted by a very friendly woman who was also angry on my behalf for what the other locations told me. All said and done making the trips and calls were a pain yes but not a horrible ordeal or anything, I was more amused than anything, but if this happened to someone else I imagine that the situation for the other staff members of the other locations would have been worse. I really appreciated this locations honesty and helpfulness. They showed excellent customer service and caring by taking care of me. Thank you guys and I'm so sorry I never caught your names! But there is no way they could forget this story lol. Whoever was working the day Crash Bandicoot did its midnight release were the two staff members who helped me! read more

I rarely post good reviews because let's face it.. most of the time people suck. Today I experienced the best customer service I think I've ever received. Thank you Ricardo! You're the man! I would usually hop back and forth from Best Buy and game stop. I'll be doing all my shopping with game stop from now on. I definitely recommend this location and ask for Ricardo! read more

I've been to several locations and this is one of my favorites. They're friendly and are always willing to answer any questions, big or small. Jason knows his stuff and is super cool. I'll be back once I'm done with AC Syndicate & Uncharted! read more

Gamestop - Just picked up Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Video Game Stores Near Me - Riverside, California

See all

This place is a normal Gamestop. Organized, not smelly, nice location... So why the low rating? Well, I don't like being lied to. As a PowerUps reward member, I know that I have to input my phone number at some point in the transaction. Since that didn't happen, I asked why the purchase would be excluded from my transaction history since my number was never asked for. Then it begins... Lie #1 - "I got your number earlier." No you didn't. I'd remember giving my phone number during a transaction that took a few minutes. Lie #2 - "It's on there. It counted towards your account". Nope. Checking the receipt showed that no discount was applied and no membership number was indicated. Then I give my phone number... Lie #3 - "Your membership is expired, that's why it didn't apply.". Try again, buddy. He then confirms my name & address and asks for my phone number again. Lie #4 - "Oh, I see what happened. I put in your phone number as *switches positions of last 2 numbers*." Really? That's funny since you were able to give me my name & address w/the wrong phone number. Not likely, unless you can read minds. Honestly, the issue was really so minor, but the guy had to lie several times about what happened just to... to what? Heck, if he said that he just forgot to ask, I would've taken that no problem. I only got a $2 discount using my membership anyways, so no biggie there, but I do like to accumulate points for their catalog. However, to lie to me and assume that I don't know how to read a receipt is unacceptable. read more

Customer service at this store is the pits. My son went and bought a game card. He got home and proceeded to rub off the sticker for the PIN, and the pin rubbed off. He took the card back to the store and they said that he rubbed too hard and that it was his fault and nothing they could do. They could only help him if he had the PIN. They sent him on his way. I, then, went to the store and they tried to tell me the same story. I was given a corporate number and the number for Sony. I called both and same story. Nobody can do anything. read more

This Gamestop is probably one of the most helpful in the area. Most of the staff is pretty knowledgable on all systems and games. They will let you know what they think is cool or not, or if it is worth it to purchase it. The staff is super nice, they got a lot of regulars who are loyal to the store. They have a really large selection of new and used games. You can find a lot of hard to find titles at this store. I never liked the stickers on the game cases either, but hey, if that is how the company wants to do it, so be it. There are new games sold at Gamestop, like factory sealed. I mean think about it. So you get a huge shipment of this one game. The game company doesn't give you display cases for the game. So what they do is that they take a select 1-3 games out of that shipment, gut them out, put the new CD in a special labeled place, and use those as display cases. They sell the factory sealed copies out first, and then they sell the still new CD and use the display case to put the CD back in. I used to work at Gamestop...so that's how the system works. read more

This Gamestop is conveniently located near the movie theater here. I'm not sure why but the majority of Gamestop venues seem to like placing sales stickers on the inside of their used game sleeves, essentially damaging the case sleeve itself if you attempt to remove it (or if it's old). However, despite that you can sometimes find some hard to find games that couldn't at other Gamestops. My biggest gripe I have is the fact there are no "NEW" games sold at Gamestop, just opened ones that they sell as "NEW". Purchasing from a game from here will be used no matter how much they sugar coat it. read more

CRAP. They cancel almost every order due to low stocked items. You pay and wait for a week or two till they tell you they don't have what you want after you were charged already. Such a fu**ing joke. read more

My husband and I walked in , mind you we're both African American, and nothing was said to us even though "Mel" walked right by us. A white man walks in seconds after us and he is immediately welcomed by both employees working, a man named Mel and a young blonde female. A few minutes after another white male walks in and again he is immediately greeted by BOTH employees. Not a single word was said to either of us during our visit here. I find it very rude and unfortunate that we weren't offered the same treatment as the other men in this store simply because of our ethnicity. Will not return here again. read more

I don't review very often but I LOVE this location. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. I am a regular customer there, at least 3-4 times a month and I am always greeted by name and when the stores not busy I can have conversations with the staff about the Game industry and if I ever need help they're there to help. Great customer service and the store is always clean and organized. I will always be my go to store. Nichole, Rick, Adam Thank you guys for running such a tight ship. read more

Both employees at the time Ricardo and the other female (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) but I believe it was Bianca we're both professional and very friendly with me and my needs . With their help I was able to get the products I had originally went in for they made the experience the best they possibly could. Even while Ricardo was helping train his coworker because I believe she was a new hire. They both were just great to have behind the desk helping me. Simply because of these 2 wonderful people they are the reason why I always return to this location they both deserve recognition if you ask me read more

Anytime I come here & either Ray or Nicole assist me, I leave with the satisfaction of getting good customer service. They both seem to enjoy what they're doing & don't try & shove pre orders or up sells at you. read more

This store was great. I was with my grandson. He just turn 10 and wanted to get a PlayStation network card. He plays fortnite and wanted more stuff. He just had his birthday. So we went in and they had Ray working. He was great. He tallked to my grandson about games and what he watch. Made him feel like a million bucks. He even told us to be careful about rubbing off the number not to do it to hard or you won't be able to read it, then he said that would be a problem. He was very professional and polite. Knew his games. Will go in again. Both the employees were working hard that day. ( It was Sunday at about 630 pm) You could tell Ray enjoyed what he did. It was busy but wait time not long. Again both did a good job. read more
