Came in here the first time and saw that they had an old retro console I was interested in but didnt have the money for at the time. It was priced at $150 with 2 games and 2 controllers. Came back today to get it since I was looking to buy it as a Valentines day present and they hiked the price up to $250. I asked the guy there if he would cut me some slack and do $150 since thats what I originally saw it for. He told me no, that the console in particular was VERY hard to come by and he couldnt go any lower. Right after saying that, he then proceeded to tell me that the reason why its more now is because he THINKS they sold the previous console they had and that the one that was currently in the store was a different, more expensive console. So... Right after telling me that this console is VERY hard to come by, youre gonna tell me that you guys sold the last console you had and then had ANOTHER EXACT SAME console with the EXACT same games and controllers for sale again? Im sorry but I call bullshit. Thats a very far-fetched coincidence given the fact that this is a hard to find console, so he said. I can get the console online for less than what theyre asking for, games and controllers as well. Why dont I go buy it offline you ask? Because I wanted to save myself from the wait, shipping fees and possibly getting scammed by money hungry people. I wont be coming back here. Apart from this experience, the guy who attended me seemed far more concerned with what was on his phone than the bull he was telling me in regards to the console. Its sad, this store has a nice selection of games but way too overpriced, especially on their consoles and older games. I can list about 10 games that I saw there that can be bought at half the price, if not less at other stores in houston. Smh.

Went there hoping to get my Wii repaired after it wouldnt turn on the night before. I dropped it off and had to wait a day or two to hear back from them about the condition. Turns out my Wii worked just fine and the problem was that I needed a new A/C Adapter which they had on hand for $18. A bit pricey if you ask me but I dont too much like buying chargers, batteries, and power supplies online at risk of them being used despite being labeled as new and damaged so I bought it. Works pretty good for a third party product. Wish I could tell you their price estimates for console repairs if thats what youre looking for but since I didnt need a repair per se Im afraid I cant. Still if you need a repair take it here first before going anywhere else. I feel these guys will give you great deals!

I been here a few times now. Owner is awesome. Always helpful and has a lot of knowledge about many games and systems. Love going here and seeing all the retro stuff. I been to a lot of retro stores and this one is number 1 on my list. I will be heading in this week to checkout a few games i seen there in my last visit.

The HDMI port on my PS4 was broken and I called them up they told me to bring it in, and they fixed it in about half an hour and I was on my way to gaming again. Every other place I took it to said it would be a few days. Ill definitely be using these guys again. Highly recommended.
