I always bought my games at Babbage's before they closed down
We've got this place called "Classic Game Junkie". The people there are super nice, they've got an excellent selection of merchandise and memorabilia (it's like visiting a vidya museum every time I go in) and once in a while they will have a fun event like a launch party but not frequently. However, their prices are disgustingly high, their trade-in values are shomehow even WORSE than Gamestop, and their repair services are also terrible.
>2011 and store first open
>Bring in my Wii which got bricked after getting stuck loading on a console update
>Pay them to fix
>When I get it back the system is back to factory default
>I've lost all the dozens of virtual console and wiiware games
> Take it to Gamestop
> Can't trade it in because the serial number on the console doesn't match the box
> I now realize they didn't fix it, they just handed me back a different Wii, claimed they fixed the old one and charged me for it
And that day was when I became a physicalfag and stopped downloading games. At that point I was too pissed and exhausted to care plus I had just gotten an Xbox 360 with better games. I think I ended up homebrewing thet same Wii and installing a bunch of emulators with ROM fullsets so I did eventually get those games back.

That photo made me nostalgia HARD. Had a few friends who worked at gamecrazy so I'd hang out and play games with them most evenings.

speak English faggot
My friend recommended me a place i went to recently called PTR games.
It has that early 2000s vibe and they sell all kinds of old games from atari to switch games and even had intellivision and sega saturn consoles.
Picked up a copy of Metroid NES used for 25 buckaroos.
Their prices are actually really good and I think I may make a return over the weekend to pick up another game or two.

Smaller game shops are even worse imo. Video game specific stores are fucking terrible.
every "bigger" store sells video games and always cheaper than fucking gamestop.
