GameStop - Electronics Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Clean, open and well lit store. Tons of games and anime type toys are available to purchase here. I'm not much of a gamer so I felt a bit out of place. I came inside of the store to look at possible gifts and avoid the holiday rush. Many items on clearance at 50% off. Seems like a good value if you need or want any of the items on clearance. read more

This location is pretty big. I actually saw some Hello Kitty stuff. I bought headphones from here before and the guy helping us was really nice. They had this sale when we walked in today. My daughter, her friends and I looked around. Not very many shirts but mostly games. The store was clean and organized. It was pretty busy when we walked in. Good stuff here though. I'm not a gamer but my daughter is. Definitely worth checking out. read more

They had what I was looking for so not a 1 star but cashier Roman is very rude. Came in for a new controller, saw it was a locked product, walk up to the register he's on the store phone with someone and hangs up after telling them "they're employees suck and to get better ones". He then is ready to assist me, I say "can I get a ps5 controller?" he says "which one?" I say the $74.99 one, and he's like yeah but which color? and I tell him any color. I'm paying for it now and I ask if it's the same charger as the ps4 controller, he just says no, I pause to wait for him to tell me which one it does use, he doesn't say it so I ask and he says usb c. I then ask if it comes with one and he says no like it's a dumb question. i buy it anyway because i need the controller but he doesn't say thank you or bye he just turns to his coworker and ignores me. Anyway this whole interaction felt very rude and like it was such a bother to him. Try and get helped by anyone else in the store. read more

Me a Senior I only buy these card for my kids as they really enjoy opening them, thanks again GameStop ! I love shopping at kahala mall . !!! read more

I tried to buy a item at around 8:30 last night, I go to purchase the item and the worker tells me that their credit card machine is not working, FYI while the store is still open. So I give her the benefit of the doubt and say I'll come back tomorrow to purchase the item at an earlier time. I just went back to buy the item and they tell me they SOLD the item.... What's the point of the hold? I don't want to sound like a melodramatic Karen but dude, do better. I would not recommend at least holding your item at this location. Not mad, just disappointed in this location. read more

The is is a 5 star. I was looking around for gift cards as I entered I found one below the check out counter. The one who assisted me. Rozy she did it quick . She was very polite. She had manners . I appreciate that . So later I asked if I could pre-order something in the gi joe classified line. She looked through the computer to the page. Finding what I was looking for, I asked rozy when the release date of the item was. I told her I would wait a bit. Well done rozy, you're good. Highly recommended among the GameStop staff to customers. read more

This morning I went to GameStop in Kahala Mall for a Pokémon drop. We had people standing in line. Most customers were probably there from about 5 o'clock this morning just to find out that they're not going to get any merchandise today because they had to be there the day before to have a ticket. It sounded like the tickets were exclusive to certain individuals who were actually shopping at the mall that day. Sounds like more like a friends and family type of situation... I feel if GameStop is going to be doing anything like this they need to let everybody know not just certain individuals who are shopping the day before. It needs to be posted up on a bulletin, Instagram or their website not just for the people who are walking around in the mall... then on top of that, the manager switched up the tickets at the last minute. The tickets that were issued out were limited to two per ticket per customer then, as the stock was running out, he switched it up to one per ticket per customer which it should've been in the first place we've been going here for years for Pokémon cards and it's always been one SKU per customer. Why at the last minute did you switch it up and then on top of that why did you guys do this the day before and not let everybody know ahead of time and then when I talk to the guy about what's going on, he said it was to control the crowd so nobody would be fighting. Who's fighting at Kahala Mall? You might get that in another area, but nobody sitting over here fighting each other for no damn Pokémon cards. I want to know if they did that at the other GameStops here in Hawaii. And this ticket that I have in my hand was given to me by another customer who didn't want to wait in line anymore which was cool of him he had three extra tickets and he gave one to me and two other people that were behind me. And I find that funny because if you already had a ticket and you were exclusively going to get something, why are you here at 5 o'clock in the morning? If you're guaranteed something, you could come anytime of the day. if GameStop is going to do this, they need to make that throughout all the GameStop's not just one and please let it be known to everybody who shops at GameStop. do not be sitting here causing chaos and ruckus over some Pokémon cards. It is not cool. We already have a hard enough time getting it as it is with all the THE scalper and all the bots if it's gonna be first come first serve leave it as that if we're gonna go back to 1992 where we do pre-orders then do that where people have to come in the store to set up pre-orders you could do as many pre-orders as you want and call the customers when their pre-orders is ready. We never had any issues with that when Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo and hardcopy games back in the days keep it simple. It's just cardboard and we do not need to be fighting one another over it and most definitely you guys should not be causing that kind of problems when people are sitting there camping overnight waiting for stuff to drop just for customers to find out that they're not gonna get anything unless they had a ticket read more

Great store with a great manager. Store is clean, orderly, and always has stock! You can seemlessly order things from the GameStop app to pick up at your convenience. Becoming a Pro Member also nets you all kinds of discounts, specials, extra trade in value, and free money every month! If you like physical games like me, this is your one stop shop. Even if you like digital, join their Pro Membership and get $5 digital currency once a month! read more

We're trying to do our best to hunker down at home with the rising covid numbers, so when a friend was cleaning out her old things and offered me her son's old wii system, games and remote controls, we happily accepted. The thing is, we're pretty uncoordinated, so we kept dying in those mario games, LOL but hoped that the dancing games wouldn't be as embarrassing! We hopped to a gamestop and found out that the used wii games were a steal - most range from $0.99 to $4.99, and they were offering 20% off if you bought more than 2. Plus, you can return pre-owned games within 7 days for a full refund for any reason! I hunted for dancing games from a few stores, and found out that they have an even better deal - buy 5 of the pre-owned games that are $4.99 for only $10!!! Plus, at the Kahala store, the employee convinced me to join their program. Others told me about it, but he patiently explained that this would be especially great for me since most of my purchases were for the inexpensive games. This program is $15 per year - and comes with a $5 voucher every month, so it's like I get a free pre-owned game every month! These games are old, and the music is a little dated (honestly, I'm not up with the hip new songs so I got pretty excited about 10 year old songs like American Boy!), but they still work and it's been the best bonding time with my seven year old! Thank you Gamestop for offering these games and inviting the public to "recycle" and minimize from their homes so that others can enjoy these! read more

GME I am programmed to like this location because of KB Toy Store. This location may be the most entertaining place in the whole mall. I like Game Stop,I like physical games. Just when I thought I couldn't like Gamestop anymore. Their stonk is sending people to the moon. It's multiplying in value and helping kids payoff their student loans. Thank you GME. read more

This GameStop has no organization whatsoever when it comes to the pokemon tcg release days. They give some rules and then do not follow through on honoring and enforcing their own rules that they set out. There were people who started to line up about 4 am when the Starbucks opens. The security opened the mall doors at 6 am. The GameStop has a new sign that says no lining up till 7:30 am. All of the people in line outside before the mall doors opened agreed to honor the line outside. Then when we get inside there's already the candy store lady and her niece and grandson lined up inside. They claim they've been there since 3 am. The principal is just wrong though. The security was very clear that the customers wouldn't be let inside the mall till 6 am. This worker abused her privileges as a mall employee to get inside the mall to line up early. Then because of this lady many people who were not near the front of the line decided to rush to GameStop and not honor the line we made outside. These cutters were very belligerent and rude to the rest of the people when they tried approaching them multiple times. They essentially said they wouldn't move till the GameStop manager told them they had to. Fast forward to when the GameStop manager comes on site, over 50 people vouch that there are these ppl who are cutting and they're arguing with the manager now. Eventually 2 of the just leave and the other 3 stay but the manager told them they will not get ETBs they will only be allowed sicker packs. I appreciate that the manager listened to the majority of the customers and didn't let the cutters win. Organizing still needs work but the manager stood up for what is right. Some people need to go back to kindergarten to learn how to line up in a single file line and not cut in front of others and shove them. My praise again to the manager, imo he handled this situation with the best solution. read more

Business is located in Kahala Mall which is across from Hello Kitty. My friend and I came here several times. He was looking for Play Station PS2 game console that is not working and he has lots of games. I asked employee if they had Ninetendo DS3. She said they it came out a few years ago and they don't have it in the store so she said to check Amazon. My friend asked if they had PS4 or any other game console on sale. She said that they don't have any. Female employee was knowledgeable because she probably have working here for a long time to know about old and newest game console. read more

They train people to be soulless pushy sociopaths here. They're going to sit there, and tell you in basic terms that you're an idiot for not being a member. I stopped buying things after more than two decades of dedication when they wiped my points from my account. Over 300,000 points held over the slim hope that one day they'd bring back exclusive physical rewards. Since a thousand points is basically a dollar, I just never thought spending it was worth the effort saving them unless I could get something exclusive. And over the course of roughly two or more decades i built a good stockpile. Than, about a year ag, gamestop suddenly changed their policies and notified customers through emails. An email that I created when I was in elementary school and used to create my pro membership account was how they tried to tell me they'd wipe out hundreds of dollars worth of points. The sales associated kept talking like it was my fault for not seeing an email on an address i made over two decades ago, which was aggravating. I basically just stopped regularly buying from them and today was my first time since making a purchase with game stop. The sales associate asked me if I wanted to be a pro member and I told him simply no thank you. Than he started berating me by saying "you don't want to save money". And I simply said out of principal, I don't really like giving patronage to gamestop. He wouldn't stop and I explained simply the reason why I don't really come back and why it wouldn't be worth it for me. And he kept insisting that I just like wasting my money. I told him that gamestop essentially robbed $300 worth of points from me and countless hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars worth of points from it's clients, i wasn't happy regularly shopping there, and he still kept poking at me. Eventually, I told him I wasn't mad at gamestop for stealing my points (I'm just disappointed) and that i'm not holding him or the store accountable. But he kept repeating himself about why it'd be worthwhile for me to join. I repeated i pretty much never shop here and "I'm not mad, but do you want me to be mad right now?" He wouldn't take the hint and I had to repeat myself two more times before he finally dropped it. I'm not naming the associate, I don't want any trouble for him. But gamestop is the smelly under arm of gaming. Go to amazon instead if you can help it. They're both soulless corporate entities but at least one gives you a better deal. read more

Been waiting outside for 30 minutes with a sign that says be back in 10 minutes. Out here seeing no signs of life inside

My husband, son, and I are all video game freaks. We always seem to be at a Game Stop no matter where we go. Every Game Stop seems to have the same layout. There's a gaming console on either side of the entrance that people can play games on. The cash wrap is at the center of the store towards the left as you're heading in. The salespeople at this location are friendly and knowledgable. They answered a ton of our questions about the new games that are coming out. You can preorder games at Game Stop and pick it up on the day that it's released. That way, you don't have to worry about it being sold out. They also have a buy back program. They'll give you store credit for your used items. Usually if I buy an Xbox game for $60, I'll get back $30-$40 in store credit, depending on how old the game is and on its popularity. read more

I feel like every time I come into a GameStop I end up having 15 minute conversations about anything and everything. Usually about Game of Thrones and the Arrowverse lol. This store is inside Kahala Mall near the theatres. It's always bright, clean, and organized. The staff here are very friendly and helpful, and are super passionate. They always have the good Funkos, and games and accessories. I rarely play any video games on consoles, so I'm usually selling off my games, accessories, and consoles, or just buying gifts for friends. GameStop has a strange buyback value system. Accessories along are worth more alone than if you sell the console set. I sold a PS3, and I got more money selling them separately than as a set. Basically they bought the AV cable, AC adapter, and one controller, and I threw in the console for free. That yielded me more money than if I sold it together. Sure I could've kept the console, but I have no use of it with zero controllers and accessories. I'm happy the staff here are honest and want to give the customers maximum value. They could've easily just taken the least value. Even though I don't game, I enjoy coming to this GameStop whenever I'm in Kahala Mall. I have a confession. I'm secretly waiting for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake for PS4. read more

The staff here are super friendly and asked all my questions! I'm not a die-hard gamer, but I do enough some video games here and there. I was on the fence about the Nintendo switch and had a million questions. They were kind enough to answer it and explained to me what was so special about the Mario Oddessy bundle. They didn't force it onto me and told me to take my time and come back if I wanted it. A+ for the service! It's located in Kahala Mall, so parking can be a challenge if you go during peak hours when everyone is shopping. Eventually, you'll get a stall. read more

I have been trying to get ahold of them in order to see double-check if my pre-ordered game was ready before I take a 30 minute bus ride and I have called for two straight days only for me to get the answering machine saying the available associates are busy. Yet I have called at different times each phone call. Really just want to make sure if the game came in so I don't need to waste my time riding the bus. read more

Sam was super helpful! I was impressed with the customer service and patience. Would go back again.

BUY BACK PROGRAM They will buy back all kinds of things, most of them for just a fraction of the cost of what you paid for. Game systems, cartridges, etc, Before I had kids I never stepped foot into a GameStop. Now I come here to sell back my son's old games. THEY BUY USED IPHONES TOO! A few weeks ago I got a quote from them to buy back my iPhone 4S. They were going to give me $230 store credit, which could be applied toward amazon.com gift card purchases. Who knew iPhones would be a good investment? Now who's in line to buy the new PS4? Y'all crazy. read more

Great customer service! Great store with games for the kids! Bought Roblox game cards The Fornite game card starts at $100 pretty expensive. read more

I don't pretend to know anything about gaming, you'd have ask my son, the "professional gamer" or at least that's what he aspires to be..... This is his favorite store. We come here at least a couple of times a month so he can catch up on the latest games and pick up his new games that he preordered. The young people here really know their stuff! My son will stand there and chat about new games coming out and his new favorites. This is your one stop shop for anything related to video games, including the different game consoles and the sales of the most recent game releases. Sometimes I have no idea what the sales reps are talking about, but I'm not a gamer. If you're born a generation after me, you'll most likely love this store *laugh emoji*. read more

This store has it all! Any kind of video game new, used or kinda old...they sell it all. Oh and they buy back games too and you get a decent amount back. The sales associates that work here are really friendly and very personable! They know their video games and the latest if you need advice on what to buy! My last option if I can't find a game I like, is a gift card! Put some cash on that card and its as good as gold! The store is nice and spacious! Clean! and very well organized and easy to browse through. I will shop here in the future when another boys birthday party comes up! read more

GameStop - Gift cards for Christmas! - Electronics Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love the Kahala location. The staff are a bit shy but that is probably because most people know what they want when they entered. This mom of three is not a gamer so I always need help and they are kind and helpful. We will be back as this is just the beginning. Mahalo plenty! read more

Thank you Mirren for being the rudest employee. She was definitely not friendly. She definitely was trying to rush us out of the store. Even though the store doesn't close for another 45 minutes. It really shows how much of hard worker you are when only your coworker asked us if we needed help while you were sitting behind the counter. Glad I didn't spend a lot of money here. read more

The workers here are awesome! Very friendly and always willing to step up to answer any questions from customers. read more

While I used to be a pretty good gamer in my youth and college days, I rarely play anymore, unless it's online games. But a stop in GameStop on weekend made me rediscover what I had known for a while. There are plenty of titles to choose from, and sequels to games that I had played in the early 2000's. Gosh, this place is somewhat of a nostaglia in a way. This GameStop is in the heart of Kahala Mall Shopping Center and the parking is plentiful. There is a wonderful assortment of titles to choose from and the store staff is good and friendly to help you, if you have any questions about any products you may have in the store. They do have a good selection of games though. While I have outgrown my days at video games, I sometimes just come over here and just see what the new games are like. No buying, just nostagia. Alot of the newer titles, especially the sports ones and the fantasy ones are pricer. That won't stop alot of people from buying them, but it's one of these things where happiness can make or break a kid's heart with video games. The store itself isn't big at all. You could go through the entire store within 15 minutes. B+ read more

During a pandemic you would think more people would go above and beyond for others. Game stop has had my membership information on record for a long time being I have a 14 yr old gaming son. I bought an Elite series 2 remote and GameStop extended warranty in July and it is now not working properly. Due to the pandemic they had none in stock so they set up one to be shipped to my home. I paid and it was sent as I was expecting. At the time of sale I was not told I had to take a picture of a sticker or the receipt, nor was I told I have to show proof of purchase , which I thought no big deal Costco tracks your membership purchases forever maybe since GameStop is a huge chain they do the same. NEGATIVE! Without even checking under my phone number or name she sends my son and I home with a $300 paper weight. I will never ever buy anything from GameStop again. Keep my $350 enjoy it GameStop I will tell 1000 people on Facebook and 1000 people on Instagram and the other million people in Hawaii how I feel about you guys! read more

They moved to a bigger & better spot near the theatres .... ran in today to grab the new XBOX 360 Splinter Cell game for my son .....the clerk Jon was very helpful and informative !!

It's been a long time since I was really into gaming, I'm definitely more of a casual fan now. Because of this waning interest, I hadn't been in a GameStop in a while. I was in just browsing the other night and was pleasantly surprised to see they also started stocking collectibles and toys (things I never grew out of)! They also had many on clearance or at least normal prices. The store was big and clean, great selection of games for newer users. The staff on every visit was super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to help me find stock at other stores. I like this location in particular as it's quiet and so close to other great shopping at Kahala. read more

I dont normally like to shop at Gamestop but as a hardcore gamer, i usually stop by when I pass by one to see what kind of deals are going on. I also dont frquent Kahala Mall very often, but this time we were passing by and needed a cheap game system for my 1 year old. Yup, 1 year old - gotta get'em started early on hand-eye co-ordination. 1337 gamers arent grown... theyre made. The sales guy was really helpful and a pretty persuasive salesmen. We came in for a $15 Mario Kart cart, left with a Mario Kart, a GBA, and a Spongebob game for $55. Technically the last game was free with their promotion. read more

I usually don't believe in writing reviews for large chains, because it's pretty standard across the board (reviewing McDonalds...really?); BUT I felt I had to for this Game Stop! I am no video game player, but was looking to buy a game for a friend. Everyone in this store was so friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated! They explained what the games' popularity was, who might like it, specific drawbacks, etc. When I ended up giving the game to my friend, he said I definitely picked the best one! If I ever buy a game again, I'll go to this location (in Kahala Mall, near the theaters). read more

Great staff here, super helpful and patient. My kid had an issue with his console and I called in to ask about it. There was no sale on the line in this instance, but they helped anyway and that means so much to me. They've made me a fan. 5 stars all the way! read more

We're not big gamers. My 7 year and I like to play Skylanders. We'll go into Gamestop to look for new figures and the Kahala location is pretty convenient. This review is for the one day I went in to look for the Skylanders Dark Expansion and Light Expansion set. I had seen it on the Skylanders website and saw on Facebook that other people had luck finding them in the stores. So I figured while I was in Kahala Mall, I would go and take a look. There were two females working that day and I didn't see the expansion pack, so I asked them if they had any. The first female tells me she had never heard of such a thing. Was I asking for a trap? I said no, I saw it on the website and repeated what it was called. Then she tells me she doesn't know because she doesn't play Skylanders and asks the other female if she had ever heard of what I was asking about. Other female says no also and doesn't even try to look it up on the computer. So basically, they made me feel like I was stupid and didn't know what I was talking about. So left thinking that I must have been mistaken. Fast forward a week and I go into the store and there's a couple of males working in there. I ask them if they had the Light and Dark Expansion packs. They told me that they couldn't keep them in stock because they keep selling out. I asked how long had they been available? They said for over two weeks. Oh, how interesting. I told them that I had come in the week before and was told that no such thing existed. So he offers to put my name on a wait list (that they don't actually keep, but since I was misinformed, they would put my name there, hmm) Then the other male says that it probably won't happen because the wait list is long. Hmm, the wait list that you don't actually keep, but have one is so long I probably won't get a call. It's been three weeks. No call. Didn't expect one. Read my review on Ala Moana Gamestop. It's so much better and they actually call back. read more

this store isnt as big as say the Ala Moana location, but what they lack in space, they make up for in AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Michael was super helpful when i was asking about a game i was looking for (Deadrising), and suggested another really great game to play (The Saboteur). if you want some advice on good games to play, see this guy, he knows his stuff! sure, there may not be hundreds of little gamer goons crawling around in the store, but that is actually a good thing b/c it actually gives the workers time to talk to you about games! :D now go home and kills some zombies already read more

I am surprised that GameStop has not promoted Sales Associate Hannah as a store manager yet? Miss Hannah is familiar with ALL game systems available in today's competitive market. She is also familiar with various older systems, portable game systems included. Hannah is more than qualified to recommend the best and most enjoyable and fun games from kids to older hardcore gamers. Please GameStop, if you have a way to recognize your outstanding employees, Miss Hannah deserves to be recognized. She literally runs your store with a smile always on her pretty face. I have worked 35years in customer service industry in Honolulu and always go out of my way to recognize those who truly make a difference. Miss Hannah is truly exceptional running GameStop in Kahala Mall. I hope her contribution and exceptional customer service doesn't go unnoticed Aloha Harri Buquet read more

I was sold a defective ps5 controller and called to see if I could return it but I wasn't able to because I didn't have my receipt. I use the rewards program though shouldn't it show transaction history through there? Also GameStop has definitely been going downhill. No point in preordering anymore because their shipment never comes in on time. Also, a courtesy call would have been nice so I didn't have to drive down there for nothing. Look like it's better to go the digital route now. At least if I get sold defective stuff I can return it and I don't have to worry about shipments not getting in on time. read more

Came here tonight to do some trade ins and hopefully buy the new OLED switch. The guy who helped me was nice very nice actually. But when I asked him if they had OLED switch in stock he told me that he hardly sees shipments of them. And that he only has a USED switch in stock which I did not want. So we asked if other GameStop's on the island had any. And he said NONE on the island has it in stock and they are the only one that has the used one. At this point we believe him since, you know he was really nice. But I decided to go online and see if I could order it. And found out that multiple gamestops on the island has it! So I decided to call Waikele since they opened the latest and sure enough they said they have it. A few at that! I'm so disappointed that he would lie to me. Idk if it's to try and get me to buy the used switch. But I don't appreciate being lied too. Anyways my bf drove all the way to Waikele GameStop and purchase my OLED switch. Thankfully I checked. Please do better! I spend a lot of money here. I deserve to have an honest answer. read more
