    Great selection and knowledgeable staff. Sometimes overhearing interesting music conversations between staff and customers adds a nice bonus to my search for cds

    Big Eric Clapton fan and these are great finds

    Moved out of New York 3 years ago but remembered this place from a while back. Had to visit Long Island last weekend and thought I would see if Mr Cheapo's was still there. I was in for a treat, found some DVD's and CD's I was really looking for and it helped make my trip even better. Well organized, well stocked, and just a terrific shopping experience. I will Deffinitly return here whenever I am back in NY. Now I am hoping its soon.

    Receipt and 45s i purchased.

    I recently started coming here frequently because my son fell in love with this store after he…read morediscovered it about a month ago when we were at the mall. We came here 4 times now and I always end up spending a fortune. They have tons of Manga (comics/ graphic novels originated from Japan), Squishmallows, Funko Pop! as well as CDs, vinyls, clothing, collectibles, gifts and other comics + books. I'd say it's a pretty cool, interesting store for both adults and kids but also very pricey. Just realized, comics are not cheap. If you're a fan, then I guess it's worth it. He always picks out about 3 to 4 Manga every time, which ranges from $10-$20 each and some plushes & keychains. The Squishmallow keychains are $13, medium & large sized Squishmallow plushes ranges from $20-$60. Some are extremely overpriced due to the levels of rarity. The blue penguin I just bought today that my daughter really wanted retails for $15, their selling it for $36. Overall, still a good store to check out and the staff are helpful. Fyi (9/11): their currently having a buy 1 get 1 50% off all Manga and graphic novels deal.

The second one I didn't even open because I didn't even want to see or try the record after I realized that the cover and spine is absolutely wrecked and crushed. Comic selection is also pretty disappointing compared to the OG in Boston. Save yourself the time and money and go to an independent record or comic store.

    Wow the nostalgia effect that shot out of my poors like super saiyan aura when I stepped in here…read morewas definitley over 9000. I walked into the mall with my nephew looking to go to target and we happened to walk past this place that I never knew existed before. Obviously my nephew shot right into the store seeing all the cool electronics and gadgets. As I followed him in and my eyes wandered here and there at all the vintage and classics of video games history and revolution, I gasped in awe of this amazing sight. This place had everything, from caleco to modern gaming. Standing in this place felt like a museum more that a store. Walking down the left side wall and seeing as you stroll by consoles from the 80s and 90s and onward left me envisioning myself as a toddler to pre-teen to young adult. What a feeling it was. It had a feel that gamestop never had not since its early days or its first fruits. I remember being a kid all the way back when funco land was around and how much joy those days were. Times were so different then.... Seeing my nephew run up and down the aisles with nothing but joy at everything around him left me seeing my childlike self and the youthful carefree days when being a kid was all the responsibilty I had to worry about........Days gone by......(moment of silence). In addition to the consoles they had the old gaming magazines like game informer and nintendo power. I rememver waiting every month in the mail for the new nintendo power arrive and bothering my mom to pay for the new subscription lol. I had a conversation with an employee here named Brandon who was awesome by the way. He was very knowledgeable about the products and it was really cool that he was interested in talking gaming glory days with me for the 3 to 4 minutes we spoke. The prices for the old consoles seemed to range from $100-$300 (depending on what your looking for. Im not really familiar with the prices these days so if your a vintage gamer I woulf definitely take a trip here and take a look. They also do trade in's which is awesome if you want to get rid of some old games collecting dust. All in all if your a gamer id definitley recommened checking this place out. If your a little older like i am looking to re-live your glory days locking yourself in your room for days eating a bag of potatoes trying to beat contra on the NES then come on down too. (Sorry ladies try not to kill him lol).

The service from the workers are top notch and they're friendly which sets in a wonderful vibe of the place. Business transactions aside, the collection of games they have here are massive.

I just love independently owned game stores like this because they are their own community and doesn't feel cold and corporate like you'd normally feel in gamestop. Definitely worth it.

The discs I received had come with deep scratches, rendering them completely unplayable. Selling games in this condition demonstrates either a complete absence of quality control or a disregard for customers altogether. It is one thing to expect minor cosmetic wear on used discs, but it is another to receive items that clearly were never inspected and should never have been sold in the first place. A company dealing in video games has one basic responsibility: to ensure the product functions. Kill Screen Games failed at that most fundamental level. Until they establish real standards for product inspection and customer care, I cannot hand them a good review.

    I have been coming to GameOn, since its first open location in Miller Place, and even before its…read morecurrent address. GameOn is owned and founded by Tristan Whitworth, who has been giving people of all ages the opportunity to relive their childhood experiences, and/or create new ones. All of the games sold here, are authentic, thoroughly tested, and reviewed so you can always count on the video games being in the best possible condition. GameOn also offers more than just games but consoles, accessories, controllers, and more. One of the recent times I went in; Tristan showed me that he received a whole bunch of promo posters from Nintendo that were unopened. I pointed out that the Banjo Kazooie poster he had, had a beta version of the character Mumbo. (Meaning the poster was worth more!!) It was awesome to see and the fact that he showed me it when I came in at a random day and time was incredible! The prices at GameOn are very fair, and trade ins are always WAY better than Gamestop who will give you pennies. GameOn gives you great rates and even greater if you vouch for in store credit. For those of you reading this looking to relive the past, or discover old but new-to-you classics, or even find consoles, accessories and more; this place is for you. One thing I was very grateful for, was that my cousin, his friend and myself produced a video game that mimics the retro style of older 2D platformers: I.E: (Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country, etc.) and Tristan allowed us to not only bring it in for him to try it, but allow his customers to try our game and test it. As if that wasn't enough, our game was free to download, with the option of donating and let's just say Tristan donated very generously! Speaking of generous, I also had an experience, where a few years back, I came in with a trade in, and a new employee gave me a pretty low deal which I accepted, but later went home feeling duped. I don't know how, as I didn't even tell Tristan, or write review, and he wasn't in the store that day, but he actually reached out to ME, and apologized that I was shorted, and that I could have an in store credit or the option to receive more money than I reluctantly agreed to. The in store credit was more than fair, and once again GameOn proved why I love it so much; and why I want to return in the future. I shouldn't have to say this; but an owner reaching out to a customer who was shorted, apologizing and giving them a store credit/offering them more money for the price they agreed to? That is unheard of and let me tell you I was blessed and very happy he reached out to me. Overall, what makes GameOn so great is its owner: Tristan. He is an energetic, passionate and kind person who always does right by you. Tristan has also hired some awesome and dedicated employees and they are always very knowledgeable and passionate about gaming like he is! GameOn does more than just sell games; they have hosted charity events, birthdays, gatherings and more. Something worth mentioning is that GameOn has grown from one location, to three, and now even has arcades open which I would urge you to check out! All in all, Tristan has created more than just a store for selling old games, but a living community that supports all who have an interest in gaming, and offers a selection of oldies but goodies, and everything in between. By far, the best retro gaming store on the island! GameOn!

It honestly feels like one of the last spots in the city where you can walk in and see this huge, slightly chaotic collection of games and consoles all in one place. The Nintendo 64 section is probably my favorite part. They have so many different variations it's kind of nostalgic overload in the best way. And they've also started adding video game soundtrack vinyls which is really dope and fits the vibe perfectly. The staff is also super cool and really knowledgeable without being overbearing. Just don't go in only to browse. Try to grab something if you can, even if it's just one of the anime themed sodas or a small piece of merch.

There are so much to look at in such a small space. They even talked about some of their suppliers which great to hear or not hear being a video game nerd myself. --Food/Products-- Walk to walk and every space is taken with video games. They have one of the largest PS Vita collection, PSP, new, used that I have ever seen. If you are looking for something. Chances are to look here first before trying to purchase it online --Capacity-- Since wall-to-wall video games. There can only be one person in each aisle since there is not enough room to walk past each other. I want to say. No more than 3-5 people can be in the store because of how tight it is. --Overall-- A great place to look for video games. Note some video games have been there for a while and might have some dust on them. I will swing by every time I am in NY.
