This place has everything you came in looking for and more! I came in for a ps2 guitar hero guitar and got a wireless one for $20, batteries included! They also have bins or brand new mario bros and pokemon plushes, great for Christmas gifts. I will never have to drive to Nintendo World again! Which saves me a big headache. read more

Great store!!! They have a little bit of everything, from books to music to autographs . A little pricey, but always good to support local business read more

That's E is one of my favorite places to go in and just hang out for a while. There's always a game of some kind going on, fellow gamers/nerds to talk with, and a wide selection of goods to peruse. Plus, they have some of the cheapest prices on Magic cards in the area! read more

I love it here! I've been going to That's E since high school (a looooong time ago) and I can't remember a time they didn't have something I want, need, or have. A time warp as well, so many things from my childhood here. Geeks and nerds unite! read more

Plenty of items. A hoarder's dream. Inventory everywhere. Not great service, but was able to find a couple of gifts for my wife and daughter read more

Best collectible store of all time, I get all my PlayStation and Genesis games here. Great for magic the gathering (they hold tournaments), records, comics, u name it they got it! read more

Charming and Chatty! The employees are very friendly and can go on....and on....about their favorite comic or video game. The place really catches my attention because of their "gaming" room which I first experienced during the Start on the Street art festival. There were various gaming consoles, some old (super Nintendo) some new (Xbox) were set up for free use! It was a great way to make sales and bring in the business. I can suggest that they organize better. Their display cases are stuffed and not well labeled but when asked the employees can be very helpful! read more

This review pertains only to the vinyl music element of TE. One of the more well-stocked vinyl music stores in Central Mass, That's Entertainment carries a decent selection of used and new vinyl and accessories. I give them high marks for the selection of new music they stock, and you can find some great used vinyl here too. Only real complaint is the pricing - you pay quite a bit more here for new vinyl that you'd get online at Insound or Amazon (e.g., an album you can find for $25 online would run you at least $30 here). The used vinyl isn't cheap either, though they're more likely to have the hard-to-find stuff, so I'm okay paying a premium for that. Not sure if they have a dedicated vinyl sales manager, but the clerks at the front desk are usually friendly and will give their personal recommendations based on your purchase if there isn't a line behind you. The vast majority of shelf space at That's Entertainment is for non-vinyl collectibles and hobbies (RPGs, board games, new and used video games, comics, cards, etc). read more

I am new to the area and was hoping to find a nearby game store....instead I found a place to buy records, games, and comics! This store is by far the most welcoming game shop that I've been to in Mass and even though they are a store that has comics as their focus they have a really relevant and up to date game selection! Keep up the great work folks! read more

This place just has everything. It's a very large place, but it's as full as a lot of small comic book shops I've seen (and that's a good thing!). Basically, any nerdy thing you need is probably here. It's all very well organized and I never have problem finding what I'm looking for. Well, maybe when I'm sifting through back issues of comics it's a little tricky, and their used graphic novels aren't ordered in a very clear way, but this is a minor complaint about a really great store. The only reason I didn't add the fifth star is because it can get a little crowded and take a little bit to be helped at the register. And there's hardly any parking if you come at a busy time. My last complaint is that you can really only trade in old manga and comics if a particular staff member happens to be there. But all in all, this place is amazing and you should check it out immediately :) read more

really its kinda of a mixed bag, depending on the day the staff can be helpful, or just ignore you. The magic community is rather toxic, but they can play a good game. Also they tend to be on the price side, but they got the selection too keep you coming. read more

I have to confess, I'm a geek... hidden under numerous layers of other things. Not a comic book geek, however. That's Entertainment is much more than a comic book store, though easily half the store is indeed comics, graphic novels, manga, etc... The store is large for what it is, perhaps around 4-5000 square feet, with high ceilings in what looks to be a building that may have been a former car dealership. They have a decent amount of Magic: The Gathering for Legacy players in terms of selection and run regular casual Sunday tournaments. The board game selection is a little light. The pricing here on new products is typically at retail, rarely a sale, but the used and import products are very reasonably priced. I dig around their selection of used video games, which here, runs the spectrum from NES to modern, though not as broad as Game Universe in Framingham. However, you do find the occasional gem. They are a nexus for the local college population to buy and sell DVDs as well of every genre. The store also features a massive selection of nostalgic toys that puts Newbury Comics to shame, including no shortage of first generation GI Joes, Transformers, building sets. It is a good stop for the curious and you never know what you'll find, customers constantly coming in and selling boxes of exotic 'junk' that can be someone else's treasure. read more

That's E is the premier nerd shop in MA and most likely all of New England. They've got comics (new and back issues galore). Used video games and game systems as well as accessories. Toys, dice, cards, records and any other thing we should have all stopped playing with by the age of 15. The staff and customers are always friendly. That's E recently started having live bands play in the store. Harry and the Potters, DOM and Golden Girls as well as many other sweet bands have graced the That's E floor. If you love comics movies, video games and music stop in here and you will most likely walk out with some sweet merchandise. read more

There's something wrong with the people giving this place less than 5 stars, but no more complaining about the shortcomings of fellow yelpers. On to the good stuff. This place is amazing. If you like video games and comics (American and Japanese), skip the comic-con and make your pilgrimage here. I, for one, am a classic video game fanatic. This is the *ONLY* place where I've seen fair prices for Atari, NES, and SNES games. Their stock is always moving around, somehow, so I check back frequently and ALWAYS leave a happy person paying next-to-nothing for excellence. The staff is also incredibly friendly, cheerful and helpful. In short, all your business should belong to TE. read more

Went for a Heroclix tournament, one of the employees quite brusquely told my friend and I that we couldn't stay in the store with the bags. Never having been there before, we were unaware that the gaming area was in a side room off from a hall leading into the store. The employee could have have been more understanding since with bags and cases full of Heroclix. I told him we were there for the Heroclix tournament, and he replied, with quite a bit of derision, "So? What do you want? To register? Well, yes. The whole point of holding events is to get people in your store to spend money beyond the event. My interaction with the clerk killed any interest in spending any money there. By contrast, I've walked out of the Fitchburg location with $100+ worth of comics on each visit. read more

I walked in here one day with not a lot to expect. But when I saw all the games and comics, I went into shock! The whole store was lit up with games and accessories. This place was actually the reason I got into retro gaming! I got my SNES, Game boy advance SP, and my copy of Final Fantasy! Although their modern game selections are not very big, the retro selections are magnificent! read more

One of the other reviewers said this is his favorite palace in Worcester to waste his time and money. yeah, that about sums it up for me too. Great atmosphere, lots of cool collectables. Friendly people working there who will be happy to help you. They have a location in Fitchburg too, but nothing tops the worcester location. read more

Wow, this place is big is jam-packed with awesome. Picture the independent version of a Newbury Comics and much, much cooler.

An employee at another comic book store recommended this shop to me; he said it is well worth the drive. And it is! They have several bookcases lining one wall with trade paperbacks, and they have four or five rows of boxes of alphabetized DC and Marvel comics on tables and other titles also alphabetized in boxes beneath them. They have new and used toys, games, DVDs, magazines... they even carry sports memorabilia. They also have T-shirts, posters, music, plushies, backpacks, and all sorts of geeky good fun. I plan to be back and to show this place to others. read more

Was just recently in there to purchase some games and have been a customer for many years you could find so much stuff in this place you never thought possible. From tons of DVDs video games music action figures and all sorts of other collectibles this place seems to have more than other stores that sell collectibles in Massachusetts! And also their second location is just as good as this one awesome staff answer all your questions you won't be disappointed! read more

I always find the most random, awesome things here. I have also traded in games/collectables a handful of times, and they are extremely fair with their purchasing prices and knowledgeable about the items. They don't try to rip you off or take advantage of your lack of knowledge about the items you are trying to sell. The staff is also extremely friendly and down to earth. I've lived here 8 years, have gone here a few times every few months, and have never once had anything less than a great experience. read more

This place is fantastic! Great selection of comics and video games (new and old), amazing deals on used records, and super friendly staff.

you can buy paris of the 80s shirts here. they have a decent comics selection. i wish they carried more pervy comics though. there are music shows in the game room sometimes. sweet! read more

This isn't just the best comic book shop in Massachusetts, or New England, or even the United States. This very well may be the best comic book shop in the world. I know that may sound over-the-top, but the people of Worcester really have no idea how good they have it when it comes to That's E. Time and time again, I have had nothing but amazing experiences here and I actually feel guilty if I ever buy stuff anywhere else. One story that I will share with anyone that will listen about the great people that work here has to do with the recent run of villain comics DC ran in September. The hot book with the 3D cover was Justice League #23.2, which of course, was redubbed Lobo #1. So I normally have Wednesday's off and would have been in the store the minute they opened to make sure I got the limited 3D edition of the book, but on this day I ended up having to work 45 minutes away until 7. Knowing they closed at 8, I booked it to the store and got there about 10 minutes before they closed, and just as I expected, they were completely out. I knew there wasn't much of a chance they had any lying around, but I asked anyway and the associate I spoke with confirmed my fear that I was just out of luck. As I was waiting in line to pay for the books I was getting, the same associate was talking about the fact that I was looking for that book with another, and that gentleman went to his personal box, took the 3D copy of the book that he had been saving for himself, and gave it to me to let me buy it. I felt almost embarrassed and protested that I wasn't trying to guilt anyone into giving up their copy of the book, and he said it was no big deal and he probably wouldn't have even read it. That's service if I've ever heard it. The great part about That's E is I can guarantee you that pretty much anyone and everyone that has frequented the store for as long as I have can share a story just like this one. They are the best, and we are very fortunate to have such a great shop in Central Mass. read more

Ask any local from worcester about Thats Entertainment, they'll know what you're talking about! The store is very dirty and dusty, which is why I gave it a four. The selection of comics, plush figures, action figures, and POP! figures is incredible. The array of comics spans half of the back part of the store (And the store is pretty huge). If you're planning on buying some back issues, get a list of what you want and be prepared to search their almost fifty boxes of back issues for them! They have a whole shelf filled with POP! collectables, and a large collection of action figures and plush figures. To sum it up, it's one of my favorite comic book shops. I love how much they offer, and would go out of my way to go their. read more

Nice place. Went in looking for sports cards and saw a lot more stuff I wanted. Will be back soon to buy more stuff.

LOVE this store! Great comic book selection and it's a lot of fun just to walk around and see all the cool things they have. Friendly staff, probably go every other week (only because it is too easy to buy all the things!) read more

This store was grand! Not only in size, but excellence! The staff is SUPER friendly and more than willing to go out of their way to help customers. They have everything! No matter whom you're shopping for you can always seem to find something. It may be a little cluttered sometimes but it gives the whole place a nice aesthetic. I asked a clerk about some toys and they told me about a few other similar items they had just gotten in! It was extraordinary! read more

My how time has passed! After coming back to visit family I was surprised to see how the store had grown!! You can tell it's all about the dollar since the isles are cluttered with racks and displays, little room to move around and you might find a bargain but it will cost if you really want something$$$$. The help hasn't changed always more interested in whats behind the counter than in front (customers) and seemingly indifferent when you try to ask a question. It's to bad they seem to have lost perspective, you can sell and give the customers what they want without sacrificing quality, but walking in? Not like the old days I couldn't even see the back of the store anymore. read more

This place has everything! Video games, cards, comic books, action figures, manga, sports stuff, old things, new stuff, kids things, grown kids collectables. And nice staff! Just a bit dusty. read more

I spend at least an hour in here everytime I go and I feel like I'm still leaving having missed some gem. They have so many cool things. If you have a nerd or otaku side, just do yourself a favor and swing through here. I usually check back every couple of weeks to, because they restock quite often. I buy so many knick knacks from them, I'm running out of shelf space. read more

While I do love comic books, I come to That's Entertainment for the records. HUGE selection!! Every time I walk in there is more to love and I would definitely recommend you take a trip. read more

Was recommended to this place by a few friends and I was not disappointed. The second I walked in I was overwhelmed, in a good way. Comics, records, games, movies, toys, sports memorabilia...they got it all. And everything was reasonably priced! Comics I've seen people selling for $50 or more I bought here for a fraction of that. Got A LOT of comics and spend under $100. If I lived in the area I would definitely come more often. I will be back, though! read more

Awesome variety of video games, vinyl records, collectible cards, comic books, and geek memorabilia. Pricing is awesome--Magic singles are lower then any other card shop I can think of, records are cheap (check the $1 box, there's some good stuff there!) and the games are for the most part reasonable (though there's a few titles that are a bit pricier then they should be). I've also participated in some Magic events in their game room. It's a bit small and the events are far from the best-run I've ever been to, but it's nice to have a place to play. On the whole, a solid 4-star establishment and easily the premiere hobby shop in the area (not to mention a much better record shop then the actual record shop next door, hehe). read more

Excellent selection of merchandise, if you're into video games, comics, anime, board games, old school action figures, basically anything fun like that, this is the place to go. I liked that they had signs encouraging customers to keep things "G Rated" as plenty of kids frequent the store as well. read more

One of my favorite places to waste time and money in Worcester. That's Entertainment has a great selection of obscure and off-the-wall comics, and a very large selection of your mainstream superhero fare. They seem to have a lot of back issues, though I haven't gone through them much. Lots of other cool sports memorabilia, records, old video games, movies, toys, etc. But the independent comic selection is the real gem here - lots of great stuff I'd never seen or heard of before. The best comic store I've found in the city. read more

Lets face it collectible fans, there is no longer any refuge for us to find what we crave, unless you want to count Newbury Comics, which is fine but the employees I find unfriendly to comic book fans. This is one of the very few brick and mortar places where you find comics and other collectibles as most place have gone under because of the internet; I for one enjoy touching my purchases and customer service. If your a fan boy/girl then this is your promise land; they have comics, collectibles, vintage video games and everything in between. I found cables for the vintage Sega Genesis I picked up, I was amazed I could even find them short of Ebay! They even have a separate gaming room for Magic tournament's etc. In short, this place is huge, has anything you could ever dream of and has helpful employees; the only gripe I might have is that they claim they buy vintage comics and video games, but barely looked in the bag I brought with me before saying "Not Interested", all the games where over 20 years old...buys vintage games eh? a place you need to visit! read more

So I went there on three different days while I was visiting a friend. I'm going to break my review up into each day. Day 1 (8/27)When I first walked in the thing I noticed immediately was how messy it was. Now maybe I'm spoiled because the stores I frequent in Austin are way more organized, but it was definitely cluttered. I looked around for a while and noticed their games. I was really excited to see how low their prices were on somethings. They are a very different market from what I'm used to so it was nice not having a pay an arm and a leg for Mario All-stars. (I later found out they don't test the games because "they don't have a way to." Really because I notice you sale consoles too. Why not keep ones as test units? That's a lame excuse.) I was sad that their didn't really carry any volumes of comics and a good amount of their merch wasn't licensed but all in all my first day there wasn't too bad. Everyone was friendly so I would give a 3.5/5 for day one. Day 2 (8/30 I think): Honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. So the whole reason we go there was to get a board game. None of us were really experienced in that area so my two friends I went with took a while to look over things. I ended up wondering off. At the front they had a really cool Link from Twilight Princess statue (that I ended up buying the 3rd day) that I wanted to look at. There was a lady behind the counter, but her back was turned to me so I said "Excuse me ma'am" (I dunno why, maybe because I have manners.) She was a lady I had talked to the time before and I assume I called her ma'am then too because her response was "I swear if you call me ma'am again." Well excuse me, my bad. She goes on to explain that she is fighting the feeling of getting old. I honestly don't care. Keep it to your self. I thank her for showing me and I go back to look at their games. There is a kid and father looking at getting Donkey Kong 64. The kid asks the male employee if it requires an expansion pak. The employee then just stares straight ahead not saying anything. I let them know that yes it does require an expansion pak and went ahead and listen off a few other games that require it as well. The employee finally speaks up asking if they still wanted to get the game and I walk away. By now its around 7:45ish and my friends still haven't decided on a game so they ask for help, A girl named Sorana (sp) helped them. (She was the only saving grace of this place so far. Super nice and helpful) I continue to look around and decide I want to see what animes they have but can't seem to find the section. I ask the employee who had been "helping" the kid and father with donkey Kong. He points me in the many a section so I have to explain the difference. Seriously bro, if you're going to work at a place like this you need to know about what you sale. I finally find them and the lady who hates being called ma'am yells back to Sora a (who is still in the middle of helping my friends mind you) that it is 3 minutes until closing. Kinda rude but what ever. At 8 pm my friends decide on what they wanted to get and I'm ragging on them for being "those people." During the short transaction the lady was extremely rude and at the end of it she says "now get out." Here's the thing. I work retail and I know it sucks to have people in the store past closing but are you serious? It wasn't even 5 minutes past 8 and we were buying things. I have never been spoken to as rudely as she spoke to us. I could have gotten better service at Walmart. Day 3 (8/25): I was honestly reluctant to go because of a few days before but I promised my bf that I would get him tetris attack and I wanted to get that Link statue. To my relief Miss Attitude wasn't there. Another lady (who might had been Sorana I'm not sure) helped me. She went to the back to find the box for the statue when she ended up finding a figure already in the boxed. I looked at it and noticed a few problems with it and asked for the display one instead. At no point did she act upset about having to go back to the back. She was very nice and honestly the only reason I didn't rate this place a 1 star. read more

The best comic shop in New England. Bar none. Back issues stretch as far as the eye can see, there are toys, games, books, movies, sports memorabilia, virtually anything and everything you could possibly want from a store like this. I live an hour away but never seem to mind the drive. read more

I've never seen such a large and varied selection. Comics, toys, sports stuff, video games. New, used, current, vintage. I could spend hours in here. If you have a fuzzy childhood memory regarding a toy, game, or cartoon this place will provide the "holy crap! I remember this thing!" moment. Go now and leave with a smile. read more
