I loved Player's Choice. It was the quintessential local video game store. Not a big box chain…read more Just owned and operated by guys who lived in the Triad and shared in the passion of video games and, to a lesser extent, anime and that kind of stuff. Player's Choice was ahead of its time and I'm not sure the City of High Point's population/economy was big nor "advanced" enough to sustain it. I think a store like Player's Choice was better-suited for bigger cities and metropolitan areas with larger gaming communities that had more disposable income. New and rare video games, consoles, and anime weren't cheap! Gaming can be an expensive hobby. I visited this Player's Choice store in High Point multiple times in the late 90s. My mom used to drive me over 30 minutes just to get to the flagship store in Winston-Salem on Robinhood Road: https://www.yelp.com/biz/game-on-winston-salem. However, around the time this location opened, circa 1998, I was old enough to drive. I'd either come here by myself or bring my friends. As high schoolers, we couldn't afford much here, but it was still fun to visit and browse. This location was only five minutes from our house so needless to say, I was very happy it opened. Player's Choice had game rental plans well before services like GameFly. I got some great deals on used anime OVAs on VHS. Even in the late 90s, I could tell this store was struggling. During my visits, business in the store couldn't compare to the business I saw at the Robinhood location. Across the country, video game shops like this have been closing in droves because the demand for physical media isn't what it used to be. The Robinhood store, which eventually changed its name to Game On, officially closed on January 4, 2020. This used to be the Staples shopping center, but Harbor Freight is now the anchor in Staples' old space. And today, a Boost Mobile store is where Player's Choice used to be. Thanks for the memories, Player's Choice of High Point. Gone, but never forgotten.

The store was pretty neat for how busy they were well stocked. They had a great selection of games, shirts and toys. Check out their pre-owned selection. My kids immediately went to the Nintendo game tester machine. I browsed while they tested. They had a good selection of Pop characters. It looked like the guy behind the counter was working alone. He was getting the job done! He wasn't too pushy and he was very helpful. I appreciated his non-pushiness, because I don't go to these stores very often due to their push to get their membership. Fortunately, I already had a membership that I got talked into from the Friendly store. Videos games can be expensive. The membership can help if you plan on buying a bunch of games throughout the year. The cashier was super nice when we checked out and he made sure my membership was applied to our total. He was also very patient when I decided to get two more items. He was very knowledgeable about the games. I overheard him speaking to other customers. Pay attention to their return policy on the receipt. They have a strict return policy, but that is very standard for games/video games. Definitely recommend this location.

How am I only finding out about this place?…read more After stopping into Burke Street pizza for the first time, the retro signage on the door caught my eye and we had to go and check it out. I was immediately welcomed by a wall of pokémon themed collectibles and a christmas tree decorated with the like. So cute! It was also really neat to see these retro games and consoles that could really take front and center stage. Unlike other used game stores, they really elevated and gave these a more dignified showcasing of value. Had me questioning whether I should be selling my old game boy games and consoles! Seems to be a market for this and I'm glad to see it. Felt like walking into an EB Game store for me. Shows how long I've been around. Sheesh.

I don't live in Mount Airy anymore, but every time I come home to visit I stop by Paradise Games…read more They just opened a few years ago, but I wish they'd been around when I was a kid because they're basically my dream shop. They've got a good selection of tabletop games, card games, video games, used systems, and figures. They also host tons of tournaments and almost always have something new and interesting going on in the shop. Unfortunately I only know about all this from their Facebook, but it makes me happy to know that they're doing so well. The staff is especially friendly and work hard to keep the Facebook page up to date and their store clean and well stocked. Literally the only con I can think of is that they are so knowledgeable about old games that it would be impossible to rip them off since they know the value of all their classics! I guess that's a small price to pay for a great shop.
