Cex is a video game store you cuck

I went to buy Vita there some time ago. And chick who was my salesman brought me psp and then psp go. She had blue hair and a lot piercings. Hmmm

video game stores are not video games

>want a game
>only one in stock
>45 miles away
>£2.50 delivery
>but I have free petrol for the month
>and I want it today
>check stock one last time before leaving
>finally get there
>"looking for ____"
>"sorry mate, it's not here, must have sold it"
>for fucks sake
>"is there a number I can call to check ahead next time?"
>"No mate, number is for internal use only, use the website next time"
>I fucking did you spastic
I complained later and got a £15 voucher (the game I wanted was only £6) so fair play

I've never had Cex

Massively overpriced.

>in town with mum
>she wants to sell her old phones
>go down alley to where Cex is
>go inside, store is a mess
>for some reason they think just dumping old broken phones on the window display is a good idea
>shop is full of kids or shady looking adults
>teens buying cheap games or dvds with their pocket money
>adults probably peddling off stolen goods
>wait around for 30 minutes while we go through each phone to find out its worth
>I already researched it and they're undercutting us massively
>invested enough time price checking
>give them the phones anyway
>leave

That's about it.

>CEX up the country was selling rare amiibos in their heyday for €60+

OY

Buying for 17/25 seems pretty good though, even if the resale price is a joke.

>>376812518
They were 375 on release month, with 5 or 6 in every store i went in to.

Unsurprising as it's their business model.

>>376811781
Used to to be worth while, now they're over priced. GameStop was charging 69.99 for BotW new, Cex charges 72 second hand. Any niche titles stay up in price. It's always full of shady folk trying to peddle off phones and stuff.

My local is OK, they have an arcade machine with Adventure Island on so it's worth popping in for a quick go on that

>Tfw your friend works there and you get staff discount on everything

I live near Birmingham sadly and ours is horrible, smells like a toilet

Where are you guys from? I'm from Ireland and there is one near my house. It's pretty good for buying second hand 360 games or original Xbox games. The staff know me to see me and I'm pretty sure they think I'm full on autistic.

I'm from NI. Live 3min walk from one too.

The ps4 section is literally 7 shelves of fifa, cod and mgsv and a quarter of the last shelf to all 6 Other ps4 games

>games arrive after a few days
>they're all really dirty and have some kind of mould growing on them
