The Video Game Store: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Super kind staff and very reasonable prices for everything I saw! Also sold a PS4 and was offered a reasonable price. :)
Fantastic experience: I love the employees' attitude
Fantastic experience: Everyone is so kind. On a hot day, we were immediately offered water. Also, amazing deals, and wide collection.
Negative experience: Bought a pre-owned game didn't work returned 4 days later with the recipet and was told I'm out of the return window. That GameStop does the same I explained the employee that sold me the game assured me I could return it if there were any issues and GameStop gives you a week on all pre-owned products. Was then told we're not GameStop. As a serious collector I can not suggest this place.
If you had an item that was not working we do offer 30 days for replacement or repairs. We do however not do returns.
Fantastic experience: staff is very nice
Fantastic experience: All type of game with great prices
Fantastic experience: Great video game store, the guy was very nice, and the variety is wide. Got a PS2 Slim and some games. Worth going to if you're a gamer
Negative experience: Messy and poorly organized store. It’s hard to tell what they even have in stock because everything is all over the place. Customer service was pretty bad too — when I asked about a specific game, they barely seemed to care or try to help. Overall, it felt unprofessional and not worth the time if you’re looking for something specific or browsing.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable staff, they even gave me a free garfield 3DS game
Fantastic experience: Awesome selection, good prices
Positive experience: Great selection but a little overpriced not crazy but shop smart. You will pay a little over Price Charting ...
Fantastic experience: 447 7th Street: "The Video Game Store" is inside a conjoined building alongside The Smokeshop. When you go inside the building it is on the right. They have SO MANY GAMES!! All kinds of systems! Every one you could possibly remember in existence. The people there are very nice! Very personalable! The prices are very reasonable! HUGE SELECTION! PS1,2,3,4,5 & XBOX, ONE, 360,etc. Nintendo Gameboy, 3DS, Advanced, GBA, Original Nintendo, 64, Switch, Wii, etc etc. SO MUCH MORE! Movies: DVDs, Blurays, Collectables of all kinds. Manga, Anime, Pops, Video Game Guides. Consoles as well. Every system you can possibly think of! I enjoyed my time I spent there. Was there quite awhile! The people who work there know there stuff well. They also buy collectibles and consoles also games as well. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Cool people great games and good prices
Fantastic experience: The best game shop in the area. Love coming in here, the guys are absolutely fantastic. I'm a big Atari collector and it can be hard to find good stuff, but they seem to always have something and the pricing is great. Highly recommend stopping by and taking a look.
Fantastic experience: Best game spot in the valley . Nice people they sell nice items and buy at the fairest prices around . This is most definitely a great place . Kenny is awesome man so are the others . Even the one whos always taking the paparazzi pics lol good men good spot I rate a 5 all day every day
Fantastic experience: Got some great games, including a rare Nintendo 3DS game, for a good price! Very friendly staff. Rare to see this kind if shop nowadays and I was very charmed. The games were pretty disorganized though and hard to read from in front of the counter - just be assertive asking for help.
Oh of course
We want people to ask us to see things. Discussing selection is half the fun
Fantastic experience: Great service, and the prices and selection were wonderful! Planning to go back soon.
Fantastic experience: I typically come here to sell games and most of the time I'm not disappointed in the business. They're very friendly and fast with their customers.
Fantastic experience: Great place for older games and parts and accessories for your older game systems way cheaper than the mall stores
Fantastic experience: My #1 game store . Very respectful people . Keep up the good work guys !!!!!
Negative experience: I went in to sell nine games, I asked how much I would be getting for them and they kept saying "fify, fifee" like 5 times. I asked "fifty?" and they said yes. I agreed and after taking a picture of my ID and me, they gave me FIFTEEN dollars. I was so irritated and I desperately needed money today, so I just left. But I will not be back. Please learn how to enunciate. I'm so annoyed. Some of those games can be sold for $10 on their own. Unbearable
Fantastic experience: Great knowledgeable customer service. And most likely you'll find what you're looking for.
Fantastic experience: These guys are awesome. Went there for the first time yesterday and they absolutely hooked me up. Two staff spend at least 10min helping me with my N64 and determining some good suggestions for a specific genre of PS4 games. Incredible prices, inventory, and service.
Fantastic experience: They'll go above and beyond to help you find what you need, and they'll even recommend you games you might like based on what you've purchased or what you tell them you like. Prices are very fair, and they have just about every console I can think of, including current gen consoles.
Fantastic experience: Great customer service as well as knowledge of games old and new. Best place to trade in old games or consoles. Would come back 10/10
Fantastic experience: Is ok they owner works with you
Fantastic experience: Came here a few weeks back. I gotta say the prices and selection were good! Definitely will be back when I'm in the area again.
Fantastic experience: Nicest retro video game store I've ever shopped from. The staff is patient, honest and knowledgeable. They have a wide variety of used games, from Atari to Sony. They also have a treasure trove of used DVDs, BDs and other swag. With no snobbery or gatekeeping. Check 'em out.
Fantastic experience: W store I come here anytime and thay always have good stuff for me to bug or look at nice staff and good prices
Always a pleasure to make it a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Great selection. Very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations. Will be back.
Positive experience: Very good game store, best to give yourself time because they have a huge pile of games to look through. Everything is priced reasonably and the staff is always nice.
Fantastic experience: Reasonable
Positive experience: Excellent services !!
Glad you enjoyed yourself
Positive experience: Nice staff and very helpful! I got a ps2 and a handful of games; this store has a good collection. Prices are very reasonable and staff members are honest and engaging! :)
Positive experience: The reason i am giving only 4 stars is because of the young black chick. I talked to her on the phone and when i got there I spoke with her she helped someone else and when she was finished she went to other ends of the store. So when i saw she was free i went to talk to her, the guy came over, who was super cool btw, she went to the other side of the store again. I talked to 4 different customers that came in and I'm just a talkative and friendly guy. Why she was avoiding me is beyond me. The guy was awesome and super friendly as well as really helpful! Great selection of movies and lots of retro games/consoles.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely my favorite place to go for all my gaming needs as well as my movie and shows I like to watch everyone there is awesome and friendly everything is priced really good definitely a place everyone should check out
Fantastic experience: Great place for anything retro/ vintage in the video game world. Also TONS of movies available. Employees were very knowledgeable and answered all my question with easy straight forward answers.
Fantastic experience: The guy that took care of me knows his stuff, very knowledgeable and friendly.
Always glad when we can be informative
Fantastic experience: Are you a new age gamer? Or perhaps you like to keep it retro! Either way, this is your one-stop-shop for BUYING, SELLING, & TRADING Games & Consoles! Always welcoming & down-to-earth you will find everything you could be looking for here!
Fantastic experience: Great prices and selections for retro and current gen games. Only gripe is finding parking.
Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service and they definitely will work with you. Definitely recommend coming to this place if in the area maybe even if you're not in the area definitely branch out and come check this place out! 10/10
Fantastic experience: Nothing but great costumer service
Fantastic experience: Do you have consoles or games from your childhood collecting dust? Look no further. The video game Store purchases vintage games and consoles. Their offers are so fair there is no need to haggle on price. Also, if you are looking for a specific game or console of any kind this is your one stop shop. Honestly when I walked into the store for the first time I thought it was a collection. That's how impressive the selection is. Located conveniently off of 7th Street in Allentown with working hours that accommodate everyone. Forget the big box retailers when it comes to video games, this is the place you need.
Thanks, glad you really enjoyed yourself.
Fantastic experience: I got an X_BOX GREAT MACHINE,,the guy said look at my xbox that running hot; and freezing up? Anyway great prices and service!!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, nerdy and kind and knowledgeable
Negative experience: Bought a PS4 deal and not even last 2 months
Fantastic experience: Excellent prices and great service. I visited today to shop for a 3ds and they didn't have one in stock, but I was impressed by the store and revisited them a few weeks later. Got a great deal on a Switch game.
Glad you enjoyed yourself
Positive experience: Small business, but extremely helpful. Calling about an item you're looking for, or help with a purchase? No worries, polite courteous, honest. FAIR reasonable trade for trade-in items. Stock always turning over, new things weekly. Small but MIGHTY!
Fantastic experience: Amazing store, great prices, awesome workers, large variety for all systems as well as movies, numerous amount of of console accessories, and the workers are well versed in their products. Love this place always
Fantastic experience: Two good dudes who know what alot. Wasnt expecting much but definitely blew my mind on what they have. Didnt think they would have atari 2600 but they did and games. Plus 30 replacement on systems. Definitely gonna go there more
Glad you enjoyed your time
Fantastic experience: Great place for games but no parking at all.
Fantastic experience: First thing, besides video games and consoles, they also have a wide assortment of DVDs. Second, they have some very cool stuff. I'm a video game junkie, especially when it comes to the classics. Nostalgia hits the wallet everytime. They have Nintendos, N64s, Game Gears, Playstation, Atari, all that. Vintage games with the cases and manuals. Some of these games are not cheap. Especially, when you compare a Sega game to an XBOX 1 game and ask how something like that can go for $130. They have all the new titles and consoles too. The guys that work there are super friendly and can talk games for days. Love it.
Negative experience: 11:40 Saturday, after the 1 hour drive from my house and website and store clearly are marked open. Lights are out and door is locked. Hopefully nobody else has to go through this.
Fantastic experience: Games you won't find anywhere else and best prices you'll find in the Lehigh Valley. Games are guaranteed to work. Stop by, you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I shopped a game here, 10/10.
So glad you enjoyed your time.

This store is absolutely amazing!
Fantastic experience: Staff is kind and knowledgeable
Positive experience: It's usually a fair place. However I suggest calling anytime you plan on going. It frequently opens later than time posted or if closed no notice left. It's quite frustrating.

Fantastic experience: Best video game shop in Atown. Need a jawn? They got it. Great DVD and Blu Ray selection too. Guy actually gives FAIR trade in values. Staff is always friendly and real. Great selection on consoles and vintage and retro gaming. Once again they got the jawn you looking for. Great deals on everything. Skip the other stores, go here. 5/5 Best video game store around.
Fantastic experience: Nice place. A wide selection of all playstation and xbox era. Sometimes you get a good deal but that's very rare. Most of the time, prices just reflect the online prices. The only advantage to frequenting this place is they sell games in very good to excellent condition with very few scratches. So they're standards for trade in resales are high so you know you'll be buying a clean copy. Unfortunately, you most likely will neve find a game worth over 60 bucks at this store due to their list of private collectors getting first dibs
Fantastic experience: At least 50% of my total collection came from this place & I could still pay my rent! Saying a lot with certain retro gaming stores these days... New location is great. Great variety from NES to Xbox, huge collection of DVDs too.
Thanks for that glad to have you.
Fantastic experience: BEST. PRICES. BEST. STOCK. I recommend 100 percent to go here!
Thanks. And we're officially back at our new location

Fantastic experience: Lit, they have old school consoles and new gen consoles staff chill polite,name a game for any console they most likely have it , don’t listen too harsh critics on here ,just go check out the store an you’ll feel like you walked in too video game land , better than GameStop I bought a Xbox one game from here the other day used ,disc litterly had no scratches for 20 dollars less than what GameStop was offering. A yoo 5 stars indeed show them some love go get you some games .
Positive experience: The only reason I can't give 5 stars is the lack of Dreamcast products!

Negative experience: Sold a game system that didn't last
Fantastic experience: Bought multiple consoles and games from here. Wonderful experience Everytime. Me and my friends enjoy the service, selection, and extremely affordable prices.
Fantastic experience: If you like to own DVD's or play retro games - this place is a must stop in Allentown. HUGE selection of NES, SNES, Genesis, PS 1-4, Xbox, etc. carts and games. Also if you need retro accessories, they have them. Great folks wo run that place as well.
Positive experience: Great store if you're looking for DVDs or Xbox and PlayStation games but minus one star for a very limited selection of Sega Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, Saturn games...which was the main reason I checked out the store.
