I am a total novice when it comes to gaming and dread going into these types of shops thinking I…read morewill be talked into alsorts as I have little understanding of what actually is good value for example. But at this branch of Game I have never experienced anything other than really friendly and helpful sales staff who have advised me brilliantly when purchasing games for my sons. They can repair scratched discs for £1 which is brilliant when you consider how much games such as fifa 14 are! There's great sections for lower priced games for stocking fillers and new games are available here immediately. As a novice, I love this shop and find them extremely helpful. And patient!

Their prices are reasonable, but recently the supermarkets have had the best and cheapest prices on new releases on the major platforms such as Xbox 360 and Playstation3. They offer a fair trade-in service where you can take your old and unwanted games and trade them in for cash or store credit to spend on other items. They do give you a higher rate if you take store credit. They also have second hand games on most platforms and you can pick up somme great bargains. The staff are very knowledgeable about what they sell and are very helpful. It does get very busy around christmas.

This is why I go here with the fella and have a look for new games. It is a decent shop just like Game or Gamestation and has lots of games for playstation, xbox or Nintendo. The games are brand spanking new but they also offer a pre-owned service where you can buy games pre-owned for a fraction of the price and they are great. They do not sell you games that do not work. I like this shop and rather than paying over the hills for games, why don't you go here and buy some games cheaper.

Review for CeX Arndale Manchester - A Wasted 24 Hours and a Damaged Device…read more I regret to say that my recent experience with CeX Arndale Manchester was not only deeply disappointing but also a telling symbol of why this company may not exist in the next 20 years. I handed in a pristine device, expecting a straightforward evaluation, only to have 24 hours of my time wasted, only to be told that my phone was "not sellable." More disturbingly, the device was returned to me with two fresh marks/scratches that were not there before. The damage was done, quite visibly, and the person who returned it to me a female staff member seemed unaware or indifferent to the fact that the device had clearly been mishandled during their assessment process. This kind of carelessness is not just unacceptableit i s corrosive to any customer-facing business. The irony here is tragic: the very company that prides itself on being a marketplace for used electronics seems to be accelerating its own obsolescence by treating both customers and their devices with such disregard. If this is how CeX treats the people it relies on to sustain its inventory, it's no wonder many consumers are moving toward decentralized tech trade-ins and platforms that operate with transparency, speed, and respect. In an age of intelligent automation, blockchain-based transactions, and next-gen peer-to-peer resale models, CeX's archaic and inconsistent service model epitomized by the careless behaviour I witnessed today is writing its own demise. It's no longer just about product margins; it's about trust, precision, and a future-ready approach. On all of these, CeX failed. This experience has left me unhappy and disillusioned, and unless there's a radical shift in professionalism and process, this may well be my last dealing with CeX.

I'm not the biggest fan of CeX, however, this store is okay, it is quite a large store, located…read moreinside the Manchester Arndale, close to TKMaxx and the new Halle Place Dining Quarter. CeX is a second-hand goods chain, of course, that means the products you are buying are used, I do find most of their prices to be a little expensive, especially on newer releases, CeX defends this by saying "They are trying to combine getting the best possible trade-in price and the best possible sales price", but I just think the trade-in price is often too low, and the sale price is often too high, on some newer releases in games/phones, the price can often be the same OR more expensive to buy the game from here, compared to a new version from a different retailer within the shopping entre or Amazon. Although the queuing system could be dealt with better and seems to be a little messy at times, the staff seem friendly enough. They do have some cheap hidden gems here of older games and DVD's which is pretty handy, which is probably the only reason I use this store for now. 3*

Regular readers of my reviews and UK citizens, will be familiar with Game as one of the leading…read morebrands for selling games in the UK, for both new and pre-owned. This branch in particular is in Bury, inside the "newer" part of "The Rock." This store is quite nice, although a little small compared to other stores such as Manchester Arndale and Oldham, but still it is a relatively nice store with still a decent selection of games, although the selection on older consoles such as the Xbox 360 is quite poor, with the newer "Xbox One" models being prioritised. I can't really comment on the full range, having just come in the store to get my hands on one game in particular "Rugby 15 Xbox 360", however the staff seemed really helpful in helping me find it. They told me they did not have it in, the woman who served me seemed to try really hard to find it, and even check other stores, even though it seemed like she was a trainee or just a student doing work experience, she got her manager to take another look, and he also seemed helpful and polite and helped guide me to local stores, which had the game in stock, there I learnt Manchester Fort had 4 copies and a store in the Manchester Arndale had one. Overall, this is a nice Game store with fantastic staff, but the range is just okay, and is quite poor on some consoles, most of the pricing is okay / good / competitive but they is a good number of items, as in other branches, which are quite pricey.

Although only a small shop they have a high stock level of factual and fiction books that are ideal for gifts or even for everyday purchases.

They are especially good for children books with many of the favourates such as the gruffolo, bob the builder and dear zoo etc. I have lost count of the books my children have had thanks to this shop. The staff are polite and helpful and the stock is ever changing. Now there is no excuse for children not to have a variety of their own books and for you to add to your own collection too!
