    Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Rare finds (eg PS Vita games) which was a huge plus. Would definitely recommend.

My wedding video was stuck in my PS4 and have been putting off getting my Playstation fixed and he said it could take a few days to fix it and get the disk out. Which I was fine with.

When I got there he asked if I had a few minutes to kind of hang out Which I did and he fixed it and had my wedding video out within a half-hour I was so freaking happy I would absolutely go here again and I will always recommend this place to anyone who needs video games or consoles. I will be buying all of my video games and consoles from here from now on! THANK YOU VIDEO GAME WIZARDS! I GIVE THIS PLACE 10 THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

That's roughly $25 per modern pack--for cards that aren't vintage, scarce, or anything remotely special. There's a difference between running a business and shamelessly exploiting hype, and this shop clearly knows exactly what it's doing. That's not "market pricing," that's blatant price gouging aimed at the people least likely to know better. Card shops are supposed to build community and help grow the hobby, especially for kids. Instead, this place feels more interested in squeezing every possible dollar out of excited young collectors and their parents. It's hard to call yourself a community shop when you're pricing families out of the hobby. If your business model depends on overcharging kids and parents who don't know better, that says everything people need to know. Even their video games are priced way more than even EBay prices.

And I bet the employees who were there tonight know who I'm talking about from the description of my experience. I came in to grab my son a couple of games. My son gave me two names for his handheld console. I wasn't sure if he had a Nintendo DS or a switch. I asked if the games I was grabbing would work with a DS or a switch so I could confirm. Everything was in the same section and I'm not a gamer. One of the things that was really insulting is when the store associate squinted at me and said are you sure it's the one that cost $450? First of all I make six figures, which might be more than you make but I wouldn't know because I don't assume people's salaries. Why are you insinuating it must not be that one? One reason I was able to go from retail to a leadership position is because I learned not to treat people like that. Watch your own pocket. Then after I figured out which console it was (20 second call) the associate told me not to ever describe the console as a DS. Don't ever tell me what to say in your entire life. I'm purchasing a product in a store you work in. The revenue helps pay YOUR bills and I kept it kind and professional. You can affirm that it is a Nintendo switch and that is the name I should use but don't ever insult me like that again. Get a better job and a better life if you're so miserable. Before my current career, I worked in retail. I have never treated even the grumpiest customers like that. We're the same age, act like it. The other associate in the store was nice. I called in earlier to check their hours because it's Christmas Eve and I recognized their voice. So you have at least one person in the store that understands Customer Sevice, but clearly management doesn't care that they have people misrepresenting them. Look at the other reviews. I'm not alone. I will not return to this location ever.

I can choose from a physical selection instead of virtual. They have it all and its close to home. Hello instant gratification. The real bonus isn't the selection and gratifaction. It's the prices and customer service. The employees will bend over backwards for the customers. Reserving games and movies to make the customer happy. The prices are so affordable. Rent a game for $4 for 3 days. And for a dollar a day after that you can re rent for two days. This place is amazing. I can only hope that it weathers and stands 20 years from now.

    I've picked up free redemption codes through Gamestop before for Pokémon shiny codes (or event…read morecodes). It's never been an issue before to swing in and grab a free code (which the Pokemon Company AND Gamestop advertise it as), even a day or two after release. This time the code was for Scarlet/Violet, Shiny Miraidon/Koraidon depending on which version of the game you have. Get to this location shortly after opening (on 9/26/25) and it's ridiculously busy with people all in line trying to buy new Pokémon cards (and possibly Magic?). That's fine- however, we then learn that we are *REQUIRED* to spend $15 in order to get the *free* code. I understand one per person, that's entirely fair...but these are supposed to be free. I watched a young man get turned away because he didn't have money, he asked if he could show them his switch to prove he has played this game and loves it; he wasn't rude, he wasn't a re-seller, he was just a guy who loves his Pokemon game. He didn't have $15 to spend for his free code and they told him they couldn't help him because the District Manager told them that morning that people must spend $15 to get the code, to avoid re-sellers (5 minutes prior to this, another guy was irritated and insisted on the fact they're supposed to be free and she handed him two codes because she didn't want to "argue over a piece of paper". What?? She apologized and was mostly kind, but I can't understand the idea that this is okay. If I had chosen to be rude, would I have gotten my code for free? Neither employee was rude to us, the gentleman who rang us out for something we didn't want was quick and kind about it but this can't actually be allowed.. when we left I saw that same young man outside in absolute tears because he was turned away (and shouldn't have been). I hope he is able to somehow get his code, I gave mine to my younger brother (who is stuck at school) or I'd have given him mine. Most of the people in the store wanted to buy cards, and based on the way they were acting about it I am certain they are in fact re-sellers. So how is it a deterrent when those people are already spending enough money to get the code? Something doesn't seem right here. I went ahead and called the Clackamas store to inquire if we needed to spend money to get a code (so I could try to get one for myself since I gave mine to my brother) and they told me no, you just have to come in to the store and it's one per person. These stores should have the same District Manager..so who is lying? I won't be spending money at the Eastport location anymore because I don't think the manager there was being truthful.. I also work retail and I know that things can be cruddy sometimes, but I don't lie to people so my store gets more money and Pro Sign-Ups ‍
