    Really helpful and some incredible deals here! Besides games, had some cool Zelda coins for $2! Have older games like gamecube as well. Wouldn't hesitate to come here again.

    I've been waiting for a used game store in Corvallis. Very lowkey and fun, just what I had been hoping for. Totally recommended!

    One downside though compared to a bigger game store like GameStop is the lack of stock available.

    I love this place! I love that its still around. After reading other reviews, i am shocked. Never…read morehad an issue eith Mr. Video. In fact I got text saying i owed a few dollars in late fees. Text sounded a little snarky .I responded to him right away and a told him I would come pay the fees the next day- I told him I was terribly sorry for the oversight. I got a response right away saying thank you for my understanding. If you have a late fee - just pay it. It might not be much but if everyone owed a dollar it would add up real.quick.. The organization of the movies is odd to me... BUTT....you can ask an employee to help and they are always willing to. Like I said- I love this place!

I need to see the box. Look at the pictures on the back and really weigh my options. That's why I love this place. I can rent games for all systems. I can rent DVDs and blue rays. I can choose from a physical selection instead of virtual. They have it all and its close to home. Hello instant gratification. The real bonus isn't the selection and gratifaction. It's the prices and customer service. The employees will bend over backwards for the customers. Reserving games and movies to make the customer happy. The prices are so affordable. Rent a game for $4 for 3 days. And for a dollar a day after that you can re rent for two days. This place is amazing. I can only hope that it weathers and stands 20 years from now.

I've been coming in here for years and never had a problem. I really enjoy coming in here, and no trip to Valley River Center is complete without a stop into Game Stop. Employees in here are fantastic. They are always helpful and typically check to see if I need anything as I'm looking around. Sometimes when they are super busy, I'll have to go hunt one down. But obviously when they are busy, I can be patient. So I'll tell them when they are done with whatever they are currently doing for another customer, I have questions, so come find me in the store. Which they have no problem doing. You just need to tell them that you need something, so they are aware. They are always more than willing to help me find whatever I need, answer any questions, which I typically have, especially when I come in here on my own without my husband. The store is tiny, and can easily feel cramped if there are a lot of people in here. They have a big product selection, I love that they sell used games, which are in good condition. I have never had a problem with a used game I've bought here. I know they always ask you if you want to buy a warranty, which is like $3. It isn't a bad deal, but I've never needed it, so I rarely buy it, unless I buy games for my nephew. For a 7 year old, I think the warranty is actually a great idea. They don't carry obscure or old system games. It's mostly for newer consoles, Xbox360, Xbox One, PS4, the newest DS, ect. It's not like you'll find original Game Boy games or anything like that here. If that's what you're looking for, go to a used game store that is local, not a corporate store. I've only bought a warranty on a game once, and it was simply because it was a gift for my 7 year old nephew. Which pretty much means he can destroy it and still return it and have it replaced. They put some sort of sticker or something on the case, and explained it to me. The important thing was I didn't have to worry about a receipt for my sister in-law, if she needed to return it for my nephew, and she could return it in Salem, where she lives. Which isn't a problem. Obviously they have a good return policy, being anything can be returned to any Game Stop store, no matter the location. Which makes buying gifts with the warranty a great thing. I dislike that they answer the phone while they are talking to you, but with only a couple employees, they do have to multi-task. It's annoying, but they are just trying to do business, and will ask the customer on the phone to hold because they are with customers. So it's not like they get distracted by the phone. Will I return? Absolutely! I have never had a problem in the store. Even when they are busy, I never have to wait long to have someone help me, and they are always super friendly and knowledgeable.
