One bad experience has turned me off from this store. Luke, a manager, was incredibly rude to me. I had pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 because a sales rep had promised a great "pre-order" bonus of receiving a free game download with purchase (you got to select one of 5 titles). I normally hate pre-ordering, but this was a great bonus, so I went ahead and pre-ordered. When I went to pick up the game today, I asked where the pre-order download code was, and the rep informed me it was in the game packaging... I asked "How is this special to pre-orders then?" he informed me it was not, anyone who purchased the game got it. I was slightly upset, because I felt lied to, so I asked him if he was sure, because the sales rep who convinced me so adamantly thought it was for pre orders only... the guy at the counter (who was nice enough) called his manager Luke, to be sure, Luke informed me the same, I told him I felt mislead and he said smugly "Well you can just not buy it then, I dont care!" and then turned around and walked into the back. I was shocked, a simple "Sorry about the mis-communication" would have been fine. Not only was I shocked, but the two customers behind me also were shocked, they walked out with me and said "They are some sort of scammers here, we will not be shopping here anymore, we are gonna shop at Gamestop". I will not be returning to this branch of store, and would encourage others to shop elsewhere. Gamestop is only three doors down.

Great prices! Selections are hit and miss depends what you are looking for. Great retro section. Update: Went there today and was going to purchase a used and a new game. The used game was missing a disc and luckily the cashier asked a co-worker a question who noticed it and let us know before we bought it. However the second game we bought was clearly marked 29.99. It rang up as 39.99. We noticed after we left. Upon returning they just said, "oh it was marked wrong." Didnt offer the difference. I am disappointed by this. :(

All of my video games are purchased at Video Games Etc. Every time I go into the store(Almost always Wiley Blvd SW store) I am greeted. The employees are really nice and the prices are MUCH better than other stores around. Trade in credit and pre-owned prices are always more than reasonable. When I first moved to Cedar Rapids I went to Game Stop to trade in my Wii and was very disappointed in the credit they offered. Went 3 stores down and was offered twice that amount at Video Games Etc.

This is a great store! I have bought many games and systems from them over the past couple years. The employees are very friendly and helpful, and used games tend to be cheaper than the nearby Gamestop. They also have a much wider selection of games than Gamestop, including lots of games for classic systems such as the N64.

This is my top recommendation for a video game store. The staff is always extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Excellent selection for almost every console ever made. They go out of their way to have some fun release events. Local business, not a large franchise.

Do not waste your money and buy a used phone at this store. They let the batteries die, have difficulties answering basic questions about the phones they are selling. WASTE OF MONEY and time.

Wide variety of gaming systems and games.. But if you want to sell BACK items to get some EXTRA MONEY...THIS IS NOT THE PLACE..
