I use to be a loyal Discland customer and I would go in to find deals on video games (which was awesome). Unfortunately just recently I went in to buy a video game that was marked at 15 dollars and I was going to buy it for that amount until Sam, one of the associates/managers of the store (who happens to be a nice, sociable, and helpful person) saw the price on this game and went and got Kyle (who is the owner of the store) and told him this game is under marked. Kyle took the game I was going to buy to the back to "research" the price on the game. He came back about 30 seconds later and told me it was now 40 dollars. I objected to his increasing the price as I was about to buy this game but he didnt seem to care. I therefore did not purchase the game. I have been going to that store for roughly 2 years (maybe more), and I have never had this experience at this store or at any store. I found what Kyle did was very unethical, distasteful, and very unprofessional. I will not be a returning customer.

Im from Fargo, ND and Ive been to Discland twice within the span of a year. I love going to Discland for a few main reasons. Theyre prices are fair. Sometimes slightly higher than would prefer to pay for used music CDs, but if your buying a disc they will typically check it for any scratches and buff it before you leave. The staff is competent. If you ask them to try to find you a game or a disc theyll try their damnedest to find it or otherwise offer to have it shipped in if its not in stock. The final thing ill mention is the variety. They have all sorts of media types. From Music, to DVDs, Cartridges of all types, and a crazy amount of retro gaming accessories to boot. If you are a geek/audiophile/gamer or just a human being in general you should check out Discland!

Fantastic products. Games from the Atari days. Absolutely amazing, my favorite store. I even found a ten year old video game there that had never been opened and used. The employees are so kind and very good at service. Great conversations and opinions, they all have diverse tastes. Its an invaluable store for hard-core retro gamers living in the Minneapolis area. Im always excited to visit. The prices are reasonable and the game collection is diverse. Movies lovers will also love this store it has a large amount of hard to find DVDs and even VHS tapes. I recommend this store to DVD and Game lovers.

I usually go to Discland for collectibles, video games, or just get bored and go. Ive been coming here since about 2008, so about 9 years and have never had a bad experience. When I find a game somewhere thats quite pricey, I go to Discland and get it for 20, 10, or 5 dollars cheaper for what other sellers are selling it for. They have great band merch, associates are friendly most of the time. I see the owner at concerts all the time, handing out his photography and Discland cards. Sweet store. Would put it in my top 5.

I must say that I love Discland. They have a good selection of wares, from music to movies to anime to clothing and videogames. The employees there have always been very friendly and very kind to me. Theyre always willing to stop for a conversation. I find myself spending hours trying to decide exactly what I want to buy. If you take the time to look around you can definitely find something for an awesome price that would be hard to find elsewhere. Its a very unique place, and I highly recommend it!

have been there a few times and a friendly staff but this last time really did it for me. I went to do a trade in and was offered $70 for a $200 system and $25 on $150 in games the prices they gave me were for in store credit. . (yes I did my research and these prices are what they actually sell for) Took it somewhere else and received 120 percent more then what they offered me. however the store is clean and family friendly. lots of prices on used systems and some games are high though.

The store is a retro gaming store, so its somewhat like a pawn-shop for gaming. While the store had a lot of items, the selection of favorite titles was very low, and the games were not sorted very well. I spent a long time looking through games simply because I wasnt sure if there was a diamond in the rough. They have plenty of hardware though, and you can get a replacement console or handheld there. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Super cool place. Employees are helpful and laid-back. They have tapestries, body jewelry (including beautiful plugs), video games, incense, movies, music, novelty items... A surprisingly vast collection for a relatively small store (in comparison to some other geek/nerd supply stores). I bought my best friend a giant Zelda Windwaker poster here, and she loves it. Been a fan of this establishment for many years. Definitely worth a visit.

I love Discland. I think the best part about them is their employees, who are always helpful and friendly. On the rare occasions when they have not had what i was looking for, theyve always offered to have it ordered for me. The selection is very good, considering that it is predominantly a "used" store, and they typically have new games/cds/dvds on their release date... If its media, Im probably buying it from Discland.

I just have to stop by this store whenever Im in the neighborhood- always puts me in a good mood as soon as I walk through the door. Tucked in a modest little strip mall, Discland has those little hidden gems as well as a nice, genuine, helpful staff. No pretentious hipsters here.They know their music, games, movies- everything. Stores like these are a dying breed. Support them if you have a few bucks to spare.

This place is great for your retro-gaming needs. I bought a "TV Games" unit, still sealed in box for 7 dollars. It was actually a Famiclone! Bought an adapter, and now I can play NES games on it. Ive bought games for PS2, Xbox 360, ColecoVision & Atari 5200 there, and will always shop again there. Even won a Halloween costume contest they were having with my Vault 101 jumpsuit.

When I walked in here I went right to the video game area. I found everything I needed. This changed what my favorite video game place was. I have got a GB Printer, Mario Bros, Pole position, Donkey Kong 64 and a GB/GBA link cable. Very highly recommended! You can also agree with the prices! @Brit I wasnt wasting my hours there, its fun even if youre only looking.

Love this store. Its hard to find a lot of places like this anymore, especially in the suburbs. They have EVERYTHING from CDs to records, DVDs, BluRays, even VHS at great prices. Then all the additional stuff like clothing, posters, and more. I love the service - Im treated very well every time I go in there. Look forward to shopping there always!

Terrible high prices. 5 -8 for used DVDs!?!? Used Blu rays 8-20 !!!! I once had to deal with a horribly pretentious and rude young Asian hipster that seemed like I interrupted her pseudo intellectual conversation at the front counter with another employee when I asked for help. She was very rude and this place isnt worth going to. Go to cheapo.
