It feels sad to think about even bothering to review a GameStop store. This one is in a mall, and has hung on a bit longer than the other local stores.
GameStop is going away because physical game cartridges and discs are goin away, as more and more games sell titles online, and consoles have big hard drives now.
There is only one reason to continue selling physical games, and that is for resale. Used games. Which was ironically, a big part of GameStop stores a decade ago. You can't resell a game you downloaded. But you sure can steal it. I heard.
This store is a Game Stop. They barely sell games. They are a pop / nerd culture retail outlet. GameStop is now Hot Topic for the kids with parents who live together.
What?!? That's a good joke. And I'm a Hot Topic kid. My kids are not, but I am! I have purple-silver hair and an eyebrow ring as I type this, so calm down.
You should go. To GameStop. Because they're going to all be gone soon, and you'll be sad. I'm sad I didn't savor my last trip to a Blockbuster. I didn't know it was the last time! It was a different time! Not really. I was less than 20 years ago.
Nevermind crying about Blockbuster. Lesson learned. Now is the last chance to see a video game, t-shirt, and dolls for adults store you may ever have.
So go to the mall. Get a Rick and Morty coffee cup, the newest Mario game for Switch, some Magic the Gathering and Pokemon cards. You go sit in the foo court with all that stuff and start a nerd flash mob event. There arent tons of outlets so encourage fully charging laptops and phones before arrival.
Godspeed nerds of today! You're inheriting this place, which is a nightmare. So please: go enjoy some games before...
Read moreI originally went into the Greece Ridge mall location in person this morning (5/19/21) at 11am to inquire about the availability of a yellow nintendo switch lite that was appearing in stock online. However, both associates that greeted me were adamant that there were none in stock and that I could order one. I told them about the website saying one was in stock, to which they said absolutely not there is nothing available. I kindly said thank you and left, sat in my car and ordered it online for in-store pickup. I instantly received an email confirmation. I went on an errand as I waited for the email that my order was ready (I expected an email saying there was a mix up and there wasn't one available) When I got that email approximately 45 minutes later, I contacted the store by phone to confirm. They said yes it was ready so I drove back (20 minute drive) to pick up my order, which was miraculously there! Perhaps the associates were trying to hold it for themselves? Or maybe they were just too lazy to check the inventory. Either way, I was not happy with my experience with...
Read moreI apologize to GameStop for incorrectly voicing my experience about them. My original review was for another store my child and I visited on the same day. That said, both GameStop stores we went to were clean and organized with a variety of selection of Nintendo games with add on accessories as well as other unique future collectors items and gifty stuff. If you love Mando, go here! The sales associates at both stores were friendly and helpful in checking their inventory for the specific item we were looking for but were unable to find. I give 3 stars not 4, because it really stinks as a consumer that they never know what they are going to get, or when they are going to get it. Maybe this fault is on the supplier, but even special orders are not an option because of this. Nice way to break...
