I very much enjoy this store. I collect video games. Old games as far back as the NES all the way up to current games. Their prices on newer games are better than gamestops standard prices. But if you wait for deals or promos at other stores you can find them for cheaper. It would be nice if Disc Replay could run sales on certain things, but then again they are not a large copy like Gamestop or Best Buy, so they dont have weekly ads and such. Also if they had maybe like a buy 2 get 1 free a few times a year that would be awesome. So i do not buy too much newer stuff here, but then again thats my preference. If youre looking for convenience, Disc Replay will definitely have the better standard price than any other store. What I really come to Disc Replay for is their older game selection. Everything pre PS3/360 era. Their prices on older games are some of the most fair prices Ive ever seen. Most of the time they price things a little under market value as well. Which is really nice, because a lot of older games are crazy inflated on ebay or at other stores. So since Disc Replay has been around, I no longer shop at other local retro game stores. They dont charge $25 for a copy of Super Mario 3 just cause its popular and they dont call it "rare". Every other store around here does that, because people dont know better. BTW, Super Mario 3 is not rare and its not worth $25. Go to disc replay and theyll charge you the fair price of $10-$12 for it. Also, their prices on older consoles are better than youll find anywhere else They also have a disc resurfacing service and they charge a good price. They dont leave crappy resurfacing marks and do a fair job at it. Their prices for trade ins are decent, I have traded many things into them. Theyll give you around half of what they sell it for in credit which is really nice. I hate when other places give you a $1 for something and then throw it on their shelves for $20. Ive also had other places give me an offer for way less on my stuff. Maybe they thought I didnt know what I had, but it was insulting. Thats why i appreciate Disc Replays fair trade in system. Their staff could be more knowledgeable, but they arent going to just hire know it alls that know everything. So sorry of they dont know some obscure detail about the Turbografx-16. Just cause you know a ton about video games, doesnt mean that they do. They help you to the best of their ability and if they dont know something they ask someone who does. Which is super appreciated. They know much more than what Ive seen at other store and I dont have to deal with the pretentious attitude that I see at other places. As far as movies and music go. I havent really purchased any of that stuff because Im mostly into video games. But their prices seemed really good on used blu-rays and dvds. Especially on season of tv shows. So all in all Disc Replay has minor faults in my eyes. But I have never been anywhere that is perfect. Disc Replay is bar none my favorite carrier of retro games in the area. They have a very nice staff that are always accommodating. They have super good prices on some things and everything else is fairly priced. I never see anything too overly inflated and if i do its only a couple things. Which is nice to see, cause most places that deal in this type of thing, 95% of their stock has crazy inflated prices on it. So I definitely recommend checking out Disc Replay if youre into video games, movies and music.

You can find so many things you thought were lost to garage sales and basements the world over. I found a good copy of Super Metroid (though like most SNES games, the internal battery long died out), a practically flawless Zelda: A Link to the Past, and several classic N64 titles Ive been missing for years. A couple of the games I bought were considerably rarer, and were more than reasonably priced. Id be pretty happy to find Super Metroid for ten bucks or so anywhere, so I was pretty floored when I did. The staff was very friendly, they card you when you use a credit card (THANK YOU for protecting my information!), and while I dont know if Im necessarily going to spend 20$ enough times to make good use of that punch card, it might just lead me to make my next console purchase here. I wouldnt mind expanding my classic library as motivation to do so! As for the store itself, it has a very familiar layout. It almost feels like a cross between an old-school Blockbuster and a Gamestop in organization; The length of the store has long aisle-ways full of sections belonging to various consoles and DVDs as well. Most of the more recent games are closer to the door, so youre likely to pass them on your way to the register. The register itself has tons of gaming swag, one of these days Im buying those Zelda mints. As you walk towards the back of the store you get a walking back into time vibe. The audio system in the store is always synced to a pretty awesome Pandora mix. I heard Pegboard Nerds one day, and Passion Pit the other, both of which seemed appropriate. I always find something new when I go there. Thats the kind of wonder old school gaming brought to me when I was younger and others bought games for me. Now I have a practically market-like environment to be the buyer of such classic experiences. And you never know what someone will have brought in to sell by tomorrow. Give this place a visit or three. Edit: I do have a small suggestion. I have that copy of Super Metroid, and the problem with the battery is very common in cartridge technology. I dont know what kind of bit the cartridges screws use, but Im willing to bet you could offer a battery replacement service for a reasonable profit since so many of your customers are purchasing this older technology. I am 100% happy with my purchase regardless, Ive had some trouble finding this game at a reasonable price (good condition or not). I would however, use such a service and pay whatever the battery would cost and then your own determined service fee. One thing Ive always loved about Super Metroid, is that you can actually beat it in only a few hours. Which coincidentally enough, is only about one charge of the SupaBoy I bought from you guys ^_^

I come into Disc Replay twice a week on average. I must say that my experience is mostly positive. They have a great selection, best prices around and for the most part a really helpful staff, that is where my only complaints happen. The whole staff is attentive and I notice they approach myself and other customers quickly. There is one employee, she looks like she may be a supervisor or a manager, not going to post any names publicly though. I was waiting at the counter waiting to purchase a few movies and she was the only employee not helping a customer, she was standing there just gazing around. She made eye contact with me and CONTINUED to look around for someone else to help m instead of approaching me herself. She then asked another employee who was talking with a customer to come over and help me. This made me feel like customers arent valued here but I remembered that I only have a bad experience with her so this review will still be a high rating. Like I said, I love the store and everything they offer and how helpful everyone is, but if you do get stuck with this supervisor dont expect good service.
