Another one of those great second-hand game and video stores…read more This one, as the name of the shop suggests, specialises more in games, everything from your Wii's, PS3's & Xbox 360 to your Nintendo Ds, Gameboy Advance, and even retro PC and console games. They have a small selection of pre-owned consoles and controllers. Be prepared to be looking for quite a while if there is something specific you are after as everything is a little ramshakle The selection of DVD's is ok, with some good boxset and even some VHS's! I know... how very retro!

Long gone it would seem are the days of catapults, tipping cows and throwing eggs. This is the…read moregolden age of digitalisation where games are played not on bicycle around the estate (council not country) but across the Google-sphere - on the games consoles. Whether it's racing cars, building virtual cities or leading teams of commandoes through the Middle East (propaganda anyone?) there's a game for everyone these days. Due to the high expense of many high street retailers, places like Game Scene have set up to provide more affordable, pre-loved numbers - and fair play to them. This shop is absolutely stacked from wall to wall with games for all sorts of consoles and devices. It's not really my forte so I can't specify which ones but judging by the huge array of colour and shape I'm guessing they're pretty well stocked. There's also a really good choice of DVDs to choose from, with some blockbusters for a mere quid or two. Game on.

I wanted to leave this review having received an absolutely fantastic service from a number of…read morestaff at the Cribbs Causeway store in Bristol. My particular thanks to Marc, Dale, Russel and Emma in the business department and to Brandt, Steve and Sanjay in store. I probably spent most of the time speaking to James (the Sony Rep) and Jordan when I was desperately trying to figure out the best television to buy. Having spent so much time reading reviews and watching YouTube videos online regarding the best TVs I had finally narrowed my choice down to 2 specific sets; namely the Sony A90J 65" and the LG Gallery G1 77" series. I can honestly say that I have never spent so much time on a purchase than I did over this television - perhaps only when buying a car! I was going back and forth constantly changing my mind. It is in this regard that I wish to express my sincere thanks to all those I spoke to as they really were so patient. Not only that, but also very understanding of how long it was taking me. I often laughing at myself with them for over analysing it too much! They were great though. In terms of my choice (maybe helpful for others) the 2 televisions were both top tier sets but the Gallery G1 was the larger size and I loved the way it hung on the wall. The Sony A90J seemed to offer the better picture quality, better sound quality and better overall experience such as the brilliant backlit remote control and a fantastic and easy operating system based on Google. However, I was hoping for the best of both worlds as the flush slim look of the Gallery G1 on the wall is just fantastic. Alas, it couldn't be and I had to choose one over the other. I chose the Sony A90J and will pair it with the Sony HT-A9 surround sound speaker system going forward. This is currently out of stock due to the pandemic but hopefully available again for purchase in a few months time. I couldn't be happier with my decision and am having the Sony A90J professionally wall mounted. Buying a new tv and home cinema system if you will was a big decision for me, hence why it took so long. Aesthetics are equally important to me and I love that the Sony has a small dim light that blinks only when you use the remote buttons; it's very subtle and nicely implemented. It doesn't have a huge IR sensor sticking out of the bottom of it like the Gallery G1 does. I knew that would constantly distract me when watching television. The Sony is beautifully styled, minimalistic and it seems to me that everything has been thought about during the design stage. The backlit remote control is incredibly practical and I now feel I couldn't do without it in the future. It's also really lovely to use. In terms of picture quality; well it is simply outstanding. If you mainly stream content from the likes of Netflix, Disney, Prime Video and other similar services then you are going to be blown away in my opinion. Other services and older content are still very good and well upscale for the 65" screen size but since I rarely watch older content its not really that important to me. For what I do want to watch, the Sony A90J is the best TV to date in my opinion. For reference, I came from a Bang & Olufsen BeoVision 11-46" (older LCD/LED from 2012) and I could now never go back to such technology. OLED is without question the way to go for perfect pictures and great viewing. I find Sony's current offerings with the soon to be available HT-A9 sound system so much better and simpler than anything available from B&O or anyone else at this time. Based on this customer experience with Curry's I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough. Prior to this visit and eventual purchases (Sony A90J, Sony Blu-ray player and soon HT-A9) I was a loyal customer of John Lewis, but I had received a very bad and uncomfortable customer experience in the days before from one of the managers, which is why I looked elsewhere. I am now a firm and loyal Curry's customer since John Lewis have lost their appeal due to my customer experience being a lot worse than they used to be. I have heard many people say the same thing so well done Curry's for stepping up (massively) and offering the same and in my opinion better customer service than your competitors. Well deserved. All the best, Simon Payne, Bristol.

Highly impressive new style Currys megastore. Loads of electrical and tech goodies to oggle over!read more
