My wife and I love our Nintendo Wii but one day it stopped working. Trying to find a legitimate…read moreNintendo repair place that would work on the Wii seemed to be impossible... perhaps Nintendo just doesn't authorize it anymore. But, we wanted a working Wii so my wife called around and discovered this place. They couldn't repair our game system but sold us a replacement one (minus the cords and stuff which we already had and thus didn't need) for around $20, with a 30-day warranty. We took it home and it works. So, we are back to playing the Wii. Wheeee! They also sold retro toys, board games, video games, movies, and other "nerdish" things. It was a fun walk through, though you could easily empty your wallet and walk out with some nifty things if you aren't careful.

They have a very large selection of video games and compared to other stores around, they have good prices. I've found a few games there that I haven't seen at other stores in my over 10 years of video game collecting. Definitely stop by and check out this shop if you collect games or cards.

Gamestop) I felt welcome upon entering and wasn't treated like an idiot (though some of my questions surely would have landed me in that category). I wanted a new Nintendo Switch 2, had several old systems to sell, and wasn't quite sure of my options. They were super helpful, gave me what I considered a good price on my used trade-ins, and worked with me to place my order. One note of caution: they are in the same plaza as a popular pizzeria and parking is tight at mealtimes, especially on the weekends.

Jay St. Video Games is a video game store that specializes in selling vintage video games and pop…read moreculture items. Also, they sell new video games, movie posters, and collectibles. Bearing in mind, this Jay St. location is extremely small and is not as good as their other locations. I personally find a lot of the stuff here cool and I love vintage games, but the prices are ridiculous. A lot of these games cost well over $20 and some are over $100. The old PlayStation 2 games are about $20 a piece and I can buy them online for half that. In similar fashion, the brand new video games usually cost more here than anywhere else, I suggest going to GameStop instead. I would also like to mention that the employees here are usually rude and treat the customers poorly. However, this Jay St. does have a lot of classic movie posters and large variety of vintage games even if they are overpriced. Once and for all, Jay St. is fine vintage game store, but it's expensive and the employees are rude.

NOTE: this is a review of their satellite branch that operates in Clifton County mall…read more This place is great. Movies are used but very cheap, and they actually organize them by category and name. Who does that? As a result, it is super easy to go in and see what they have. Furthermore, unlike buying movies online that arrive scratched and unable to play, I think they must recondition them before sale because they look great and I have never had a problem with a disc not playing. They also have movie posters, collectible magazines, Hess trucks, sports memorabilia, and who knows what else? However, I just go for the movies. When I can get a bunch of DVDs for $20 (the cost of a new movie these days), I am a happy camper.

Very disappointed with my recent experience with Flipside Gaming…read more I purchased a booster box case when it was $850. Instead of being properly protected and double-boxed, Flipside placed the shipping label directly on the case and shipped it that way. The case arrived damaged. I reached out to customer service expecting an exchange. Unfortunately, they would only offer a full refund -- no replacement. What makes this even more frustrating is that the same case is now listed for $2,000. I'm left with a refund for an $850 purchase while the company can sell that inventory for significantly more. Regardless of the market price, customers should receive the product they paid for, especially when damage occurred during shipping and the packaging provided little protection. If you're ordering a case from Flipside Gaming, be aware that it may not be double-boxed or shipped with additional protection. Very unhappy with how this was handled and the overall customer service experience.

FlipSide Gaming SAVED THE DAY! Huuge shoutout to Kailer who helped me out…read more I'm not knowledgeable about TCGs but my partner was really excited for a new release. I pre-ordered the booster packs to surprise her without realizing that we can't even play the game without the resources from the "starter/trial decks". By the time I realized we needed these decks, NONE of my local game shops had any in stock and online listings were all scalpers selling for 2-3x MSRP. I contacted FlipSide gaming about re-stocks on the trial decks and they said they don't have an ETA but to sign up for their notifications. Perfectly reasonable response and I thought that was that. However, later in the day, Kailer contacted me back and said they received some returns for the starter decks and set up an invoice so I could place an order!! They totally could have just sold these in store or increased stock online - they would absolutely sell. But Kailer went out of his way to contact me back and manually set up an invoice for the purchase. Now we can actually play this game without having to pay scalpers!! THANK YOU KAILER AND THANK YOU FLIPSIDE GAMING!!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more I ordered a refurbished Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, which was supposed to arrive in one week. Instead, it took 18 days, and when it finally showed up, it was the wrong item--I only received controller accessories, not the actual controller. I called customer service, and was told I had to drive 50 minutes to a GameStop store to return the incorrect item before they would send the right one. I explained that the mistake was theirs, not mine, and asked if they could just email me a return shipping label to avoid wasting time and gas. I also asked if they could go ahead and ship the correct item since my order was already 11 days late. They refused and said it was "company policy." When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told they would say the same thing. At that point, I asked for a refund instead. Again, I was told I'd have to go to the store to return the item. I voiced concern because the item I received was worth less than what I paid. The representative said it wouldn't be a problem and emailed me a letter to bring to the store. Today, I went to GameStop, and the store manager had to call customer service--only to be told that the store couldn't process the return after all. I was emailed a shipping label and told I now had to take the package to UPS myself. This entire process has been frustrating, disorganized, and a total waste of time. Between the delayed delivery, receiving the wrong item, the lack of accountability, and poor customer service, I will never shop at GameStop again.

The books are brand new and are therefore priced above what you would pay at another book store. Prices are steep. There is no place to sit. It is hot inside this corner wood-shack. Overall, Dove is well laid out, tidy but very predictable. I found no 'old' books, or 'second hand' books or 'well-thumbed' books: just crisp, shiny books bought someplace else and now being sold at Dove for $5-10 more! The owner - slouched back in a easy-chair - was licking his fingers turning pages of a magazine. I tried talking to the geezer: this individual must have had his mouth full of 'gorilla glue'.
