Very clean,well stocked trading card/tabletop game store highly favorable to card collectors. I…read morewanted to gift a friend with some cards and didn't know where to go, someone suggested that I go here. The perfect place around town to purchase some trading cards!. I got some illustrated One Piece collector items. I Know my friend would love it since this just came out recently and one of his favorite anime is One Piece. The staff is quick to assist on what customers need and check them out. I went on a Saturday morning and there were no lines. There is a variety of trading cards or collector toy items available for purchase. They also have plenty of game tabletops for card players to play in the back. There prices are not outrageous and affordable.

Participated in the Geeksboro artist market out on by Dragon's Hoard recently, and was really happy…read morewith the results. Having been their first market, I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but there was clear communication from Sherri from the start, leading up to the day of. They were very clear on set up instructions, where to park, and all the details needed. Their vendor booth fee was very reasonable, and they even provided a gift bag to each vendor with small gifts and a bag of snacks and water to get through the day (a first for me). The show had some good foot traffic, again, for being the first of its kind. I'm excited to do more events with them, and would recommend!

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.

The managers are helpful, but every time I go in there they are way too pushy...almost aggressive…read more If a customer says no several times, just stop. I was talked into buying their annual membership rewards. When I left the store, I instantly regretted that purchase. Yes, I could have declined after the 5th time he asked, but I really felt like if I didn't get it this time...every time I come into this store, I'd have to listen to them try to aggressively sell it to me. If it wasn't for my kids wanting these used games from this store, I'd never go back. The positive side of this store is you can trade in your less played games and purchase used games. That can save you a lot of money versus buying brand new. They have great Funko options and some other items like t-shirts.

I've been here several times but only out of necessity or accident. The one manager there is a…read morelarger husky guy with unkept hair and beard. His personal hygiene is severely lacking as well and you can smell it usually right when you walk in. I avoid this Gamestop like the plague!! The assistant Manager that wa there for a little bit was very helpful and cool. I haven't seen him in a while an hope he didn't get pushed out by the stinky guy. My teenage daughter laughs at my despair when we pull in. For the love of God do something he gives you guys such a bad wrap in GSO. On top of that he is deceitful and lies to customers. I have been looking around while listening to him talk to one person for 15min while the line backs up. I promise I will shop here more of you get rid of him or stock him in the warehouse
