Review from Kevin N.
Updated - 12/28/2008 1 photo
So the problem with most of these game locations being what they are, that most employees still don't have a single unspoken musing, that if you (like I) are dumb enough to wander in one on the day after Christmas when seventy-five people are shoehorned into a closet-like enclave, all that junk being what it is (and the reality in this post-holiday world), I had a remarkable time considering what I was attempting to do and what I came out with, and it is all...I mean *entirely*...thanks to the guy working behind the counter.
If you're reading between the lines here (or even reading the lines themselves) you've likely gathered that:
a) I am secretly about seven and a half
b) these guys were SLAMMED
And they were. Totally slammed. The line during the half hour to 45 minutes I spent here was rarely less than six people deep given the two registers open at all times, and I found it nothing less than remarkable that someone didn't go all Attilla the Hun on this mo-fo locale and show us some real life fighting moves. That said, the dude behind the counter who initially helped me was unmistakably calm, efficient, and worked at getting me the prime deal allowable. How he found the time to do that is a miracle.
I walked in with the sole intent of picking up one game to goof on, given that I'm now the owner of a new video game console, and I had the one in had and marched to the counter given that it sported a sticker showing $20 bucks off. When I hit the counter, however, the clerk told me something I didn't know: there was a slightly used version available in the back for ten bucks less than the sale price of this one, that they were running a special on used games where if I picked one more out I'd get a third game free.
Now suddenly the whole world opened up here. Instead of going for one game and wearing it out, I could multitask, finding all sorts of fun stuff. So I dug, and eventually found three games, the lowest priced one I got for free. And I walked out for about ten bones more total for three games than I would have for the one game I originally was going to pick up. In all, even given the crowd, a pleasant experience.
Thanks Gamestop guy! Now if you could just send me some cheat codes, I'll be golden.Listed in: Hey Austin: Take My Money,…

Trying to find something good to say.
Customer service blows, store stinks, employees know nothing, low stock, hmmm none of those are good. Let me try again.
Rude, dirty, crappy selection... ok nevermind. I can't find anything good to say.Listed in: Customer Service Blows Here

I hate to admit it but I go here a lot. No, I'm not a gamer, I barely know how to turn on an X Box let alone excel at it. Yes, I know what World War Craft cards are, but that would be all I know about them. One a week when my son gets his allowance and it's burning a hole in his pocket the hustle begins. "Mom, can you drive me to Game stop?" The hustle doesn't stop until we have safely arrived at this location. Every time I have been here (more than I care to admit) the staff has been extremely helpful. I'll never get what all the hoopla is about when it comes to games & cards but the guys at this store seem to get what all the hoopla is about.
