Came in looking for NES and Wii games and found some gems. Gentleman working was pleasant and helpful.

Didn't get my change back but I was satisfied with the games I also paid more than $21 dollars she was supposed to give me change back but oh well who cares? read more

Took a bunch of old games here to sell and got a pretty decent amount for it! The lady running the store at the time was very friendly and quickly checked all my games while I browses the store. Most of the games I brought in were older, less popular titles, so I was pleasantly surprised that they still valued at that much on resale. Recommend this location over the Chula Vista location as well read more

Great place. Had a controller that wasn't working for my Xbox 360. Game stop recommended Luna because they had older parts. She looked at the battery compartment of the old one and told me that the batteries may have leaked , She sold me a new battery compartment for $5 and it solved the whole problem. Sure beats spending $50 plus on a new controller. Very honest. read more

Buddy and I went there with a box of Pokémon cards, some old video games, and other retro stuff to see if they would assist us in getting an idea of what it was worth. They ripped us off and paid us about 150$ for what we found out to be worth thousands - if not tens of thousands of dollars. Beware of the scammers here. Go at your own risk. Hope you guys go out of business! read more

We have been here a couple times before to buy games but last weekend my son wanted to trade in some of his games towards a new one. He had 3 switch games (2 from last year and an older one) and 3 older PS4 games. The guy said give him a minute while he looks everything up and he would give us a total for trade in. In the meantime my son picked out a switch game that cost $45 and I told him don't worry I would pay the difference after the trade in because we were expecting around $35-$40 value. We were so surprised when he told us it came out to $94 . I told my son to pick out another game and I even got ghost recon wild lands for Xbox one for $5. So it was all an even trade. Never trading in games to GameStop ever again. read more

My go to spot to sell video games. Much better experience than I've had with GameStop and Amazon. They give you a very fair price in my opinion. If you opt for store credit you get more $. When using store credit, you don't pay taxes if the cost is absorbed by the store credit, so a little more savings there. Not all visits have been good, it depends on staff. Parking is mostly street only, the back lot is very odd and seems to be owned by another company. They have all kinds of games/consoles. Very few PS5 and switch games though. I would definitely check the price on eBay/Amazon before buying. Many times the prices are very close to just buying it brand new. Follow them on Instagram for their specials, they recently had a buy 2 get 1 deal for all games. read more

Huge selection compared to any chain stores, and great prices. Even new items were cheaper than Amazon.

Wide selection of games at great prices. After searching thrift store after thrift store and only finding madden games I was stoked to come across this shop! read more

Great selection of games, great prices, cool, ambience, and sweet staff that helped us out. Game lovers, this is the place to be!

A+++. I am a retro gamer back when retro games where current gen games. Luna Video Games is my go-to spot for retro games and has been for years. The staff have always been nice and helpful, and they know games. I have never had a negative experience there. The game selection is great, and the prices are great. If you love retro gaming from the Sega Genesis, Sega CD, SNES, Gameboy, Game Gear, N64 and more this game store it worth a visit. read more

Great local game store with a huge variety of games, friendly staff and some unique finds! Employees also give good tips on what games to buy. They even give away some of their broken controllers for free to fix up or use for parts! I recommend Luna games! read more

Customer satisfaction is definitely not a priority. Definitely not coming back. Major attitude for simply returning an item followed by a disingenuous goodbye. No need to guilt trip your customers by describing how inconvenient their return is, especially when it was already inconvenient to return for the customer. read more

Been coming here every so often for the last 8 years. Small video game store with mostly used games and consoles from pretty much all eras dating from Atari to present day console generation. What new stuff they have would be 3rd party accessories for old consoles and limited run video game titles. As a used game store, it's unknown what will be on their shelves. I have taken some of my old stuff in before (pretty sure the copy of Xenosaga 3 on their back shelf is the same one I brought in a while back). I have had a share of my stuff rejected before, but they did take a lot of my old games when my Wii U bricked. While selling privately online might get more money, it's much less hassle to exchange for cash or store credit at Luna. If taking store credit, you'll get more funds compared to taking cash. In my experience, there have been maybe 1 or 2 less pleasant visits over the years, but majority have been good. The other day, I asked about whether a game only was available on the Game Boy and never ported to another console. The gentleman checked and confirmed. Location wise, they are on El Cajon Blvd near the intersection at 70th Street. 15 minute street parking up front doesn't feel quite enough to search around the store. There are a few parking spots behind the building, but driving to the back is sort of awkward and so is walking through the Midas(?) car lot to get to the front. read more

Super trash! the people who work there are rude! Better to buy and trade sale on offer up and marketplace. I'm surprised they are still open. Stay away. read more

My family has loved Luna for lo these many years-decades, really-and the people who work there are always very nice. Today an especially wonderful young lady, Layne, was very kind, helpful, and patient with an old lady, namely me, and my developmentally disabled son. I was unable to accompany my son on his Luna Christmas shopping excursion today, and it was going to prove to be tricky because he was buying something for himself and I was buying presents for my other disabled boy as well. We needed to divvy up the receipts and I must have called Layne three or more times to explain how to do it. She executed the whole undertaking perfectly, with not a hint of impatience, but only kindness and understanding. This old lady-once again, that's me-is very appreciative of Layne, a sweet, helpful young woman who should be recognized for taking such good care of this family. Yours truly, Liz Gilmore read more

I brought my old NES to Luna to see if they could repair it. They charged minimal cost for the repair and got it working in a matter of days. Excellent customer service, well priced, and friendly. You can't ask for more from a store. read more

Worst service I have ever received going to any store crazy how rude this lady with tattoos was on the phone and in person I have worked in retail before and sales and other industries and I don't understand how someone like her is hired to work with people she should be fired Would not even take my console when it was in perfect condition drove an hour to get here just to have someone talk to me like I'm not even human never coming back here again I wouldn't recommend anyone else either! read more

Amazing store and I love being in there it give me a nostalgia feeling and I love going in there and feel like a kid again

Nice staff member and very friendly. Good prices fir the game and had a large Mario Bros selection for the Nintendo Switch. Gave me a good value for my trade-in. Would definitely recommend this place over Gamestop. read more

If you like overpriced used games and horrible customer service, this is the spot for you. Older lady with green colored hair shouldn't be in customer service if it is a bother to deal with buyers. After talking to her I almost decided to not go along with buying a console that I was excited for read more

Absolute garbage staff work here, incredibly dishonest about "console repairs". They claim to have repaired my console by putting rubbing alcohol on a que tip an barely cleaning the pin connector. They didn't even do a simple dusting or anything, an afterwards after taking it apart myself it was still DIRTY!!! I basically burned $40.... Don't ever come here for repairs for your console you will basically be scamming yourself of money. read more

Went in there around 12pm. Pretty chill in there. They have a pretty good selection of games.

Great store with tons of classic video games. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Today my friend and I went in so he could try and sell several of his consoles. When we went in the lady behind the counter (Layne) was servicing a couple with two children. She didn't greet us or say anything to us at all while we waited, which ultimately was not the problem. While she serviced the couple ahead of us she displayed fantastic customer service. Speaking friendly, thoroughly, and even gave them free game boy games with their purchase. When the couple left and it was our turn my friend approached the lady telling her that he was the one that called and spoke to her about selling his x box. Already she was giving us weird looks, and her demeanor had COMPLETELY changed from when she was serving the couple ahead of us. I could tell right away she was being rude to my friend and pretending like she didn't even know what he was talking about. When he had clearly placed his console on the counter to sell, she acted angry and frustrated. Pretending like she didn't even know why my friend was there and what he wanted to do. Which he clearly had stated he wanted to sell several consoles. She pretended to just not know what to do, she was very short, very rude, giving myself and my friend weird and rude looks. He ended up selling her his Xbox, and rejected other items he wanted to sell. But with the absolute least amount of professionalism or friendliness on her part. Meanwhile tending to the customer that came in behind us and being friendly with them. That irked the hell out of me. She ended up telling my friend he should just take his business elsewhere and sell to someone else. Which is weird... if you already told us a price you would be willing to buy the Xbox that clearly worked and was in decent condition. She just gave us the impression she wanted absolutely nothing to do with us and didn't want to serve us or anything. She was short, annoyed, clearly frustrated, and played dumb. A complete 360 from how she behaved with the couple ahead of us that she chatted away with, smiled at, chit chat with, and gave free games to them. This was my first and LAST experience with Luna games. Literally the most ugly and disrespectful customer service I've ever received. read more

I walked into this store and felt a rush of my most cherished childhood memories go through me. Video games, especially JRPG's, is a big part of my life and to see the classic PSX pieces like Valkyrie Profile and Final Fantasy I-IX encased in this store brought a sense of relief that my childhood is alive here. Legend of Dragoon and Chrono Cross/Trigger was also presented. Even GC favorites like PSO Online, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door; underrated PS2 favorites like Radiata Stories-- I mean they had all of it. This place is great. Even the music playing in the background at the time I walked in made it feel like I time traveled back in the 2000's; years I was very fond of and miss every day. read more

very bad company dont bring your game consoles here because luna video games in el cajon will rip you off 1,000% for their company has business gains and customer will suffer huge loss, they swapped my playstation 3 parts and replaced with broken parts, take pictures of your game console first before sending to any game store for repairs and marl and number every parts necessary to be sure they dont salvage and swap parts every one must be smart enough to counter this bad busimess practices of luna video games, the store must close immediately the store in el cajon will always rip off customers without remorse, be very careful, the luna video games also took my receipt, luckily i had a picture for back up just in case and unfortunately luna vide games is a bad place to go, for those who wan5 authenticity of my bad experience just message me and i will show you how bad luna video games in el cajon is.... read more

Great place to take your stuff instead of waiting online to sell or to someone sketchy, great customer care, just go with patience because sometimes it gets packed in there, but overall great experience every time I go. Thank you. read more

The woman working here is extremely rude. Every time I've been here, the woman (glasses, bad skin, hair usually in a ponytail, in her 30's) does not acknowledge customers. She does not greet you, she gives short answers for everything and the experience is very uncomfortable. She sits at the computer the whole time, won't even look at you unless she absolutely needs to, and blasts music. Also, the selection of games is poor and the prices aren't even reasonable. This is a mom and pop shop, so I feel bad writing the review, but people should know that they won't be treated like a wanted customer. Take your business elsewhere -- you'll be glad you did. read more

I no longer have room for my Wii U you and my wii boards so I brought it there and they were able to give me some money for the items as I were in like new conditions and I enjoyed the money and I'm sure they enjoyed selling the products as they were in perfect condition great customer service and go back again if the need arises read more

Got what I wanted . Staff was alright just awkward. But other then that they have many games especially old school . Price is fair . Would come back sometime soon read more

The guy working was super easy to ask questions to and very helpful. Came here for a ps4 and some games. Great prices and nice selection. read more

Luna Video Games - Video Game Stores Near Me - San Diego, California

Super cool retro and used video game shop! These guys have it all, definitely recommend checking out. Friendly and knowledgeable staff!

idk why the blonde lady who worked there was so needlessly rude to me when i brought in stuff to trade in and talked to me like i was an idiot. lol. read more

Don't sell your games here unless you want to get offered pennies on the dollar (I'm talking 80-90% below fair market value). I can also echo other reviews discussing very poor customer service. They will barely look at you and treat any question you have as an annoyance. read more

Luna Games is fantastic. They have a great selection and knowledgeable staff. Ian is great, completely answered all my questions and gave me great information. Grab yourself one of those sweet T-shirt's while you're there. Also Ian has a great podcast call the Completely Unnecessary Podcast. Be sure to check that out! Luna Games is a true asset to the San Diego gaming community. read more

Cool collection! Not so great customer service. We came to this shop looking to explore their awesome assortment of video games and gaming consoles. Unfortunately, the young woman (glasses and ponytail) behind the counter made us feel unwanted in her answers to questions/overall temperament. We really felt like a nuisance, so it made us leave prematurely. I did not give a F about the game I was looking for after that - hell nah I'd rather look on ebay. I had high hopes, but I don't think I'd be back here. Instead, we found a friendlier vintage video game shop in Mira Mesa along Carroll Canyon Road. read more

Friendly staff, and always playing some chill electronic music in the background :) Bunch of retro games, consoles, etc. at very reasonable prices. Parking is weird, but it is what it is. If you can help it, support local businesses like these instead of huge corporations that rip off customers and take $ away from the community (*cough* Gamestop *cough* *cough*). Anyway, Luna Games is a great experience every time I go in! read more
