    I really want to like this location. I like supporting my local businesses. The one on Williamson…read moreRd is better organized and larger. Depending on what console games you are looking for you might have to GI Joe over guitar hero accessories and other misc equipment. The selection of games was okay given the small space of the place I did see a few not common games but no holy grails. The guy at the counter was friendly when I went to checkout. Their rewards system is good to sign up for if you are a frequent purchaser. Similar to gamestop it is an upfront cost ($10) but it gives you a discount on used games. Worth it to bring the game prices down in line with market prices (they are a tad high here) Decent place to check out, but not some place I would go out of my way to stop in.

    "Junky" is the perfect way to describe this store. Very overpriced, games in terrible condition,…read moreand bad customer service. Everything was so overpriced to where I don't understand how this business is still running. Some games for newer consoles were literally more expensive than just buying it new. A lot of products were dirty, or damaged to the point where it likely wouldn't work. The store smelt like weed, and customer service wasn't even a thing since bro was higher than the pricing there. To top it all off, I saw someone come in to trade in around 10 games, and they offered them a whopping $2.50. If you're in dire need of a Game Junkies, go to the one on Williamson Rd, but even that one's not too great. Leave this location to rot.

    I loved Player's Choice. It was the quintessential local video game store. Not a big box chain…read more Just owned and operated by guys who lived in the Triad and shared in the passion of video games and, to a lesser extent, anime and that kind of stuff. Player's Choice was ahead of its time and I'm not sure the City of High Point's population/economy was big nor "advanced" enough to sustain it. I think a store like Player's Choice was better-suited for bigger cities and metropolitan areas with larger gaming communities that had more disposable income. New and rare video games, consoles, and anime weren't cheap! Gaming can be an expensive hobby. I visited this Player's Choice store in High Point multiple times in the late 90s. My mom used to drive me over 30 minutes just to get to the flagship store in Winston-Salem on Robinhood Road: https://www.yelp.com/biz/game-on-winston-salem. However, around the time this location opened, circa 1998, I was old enough to drive. I'd either come here by myself or bring my friends. As high schoolers, we couldn't afford much here, but it was still fun to visit and browse. This location was only five minutes from our house so needless to say, I was very happy it opened. Player's Choice had game rental plans well before services like GameFly. I got some great deals on used anime OVAs on VHS. Even in the late 90s, I could tell this store was struggling. During my visits, business in the store couldn't compare to the business I saw at the Robinhood location. Across the country, video game shops like this have been closing in droves because the demand for physical media isn't what it used to be. The Robinhood store, which eventually changed its name to Game On, officially closed on January 4, 2020. This used to be the Staples shopping center, but Harbor Freight is now the anchor in Staples' old space. And today, a Boost Mobile store is where Player's Choice used to be. Thanks for the memories, Player's Choice of High Point. Gone, but never forgotten.
