Having been a die-hard fan of the old rental store and retail laser-disc store next door back in the day, this one just didn't deliver the same movie magic. There are lots of mostly new titles but frankly not enough used items, as the unopened items are listed at astronomical prices ($50+ for each title!) and way out of range for the average collector. A few laser discs (need more) and a cool old Videodrome decal on the top of one of the displays, but overall not worth going out of your way for.

I love this place. Just to preface I'm going to be reviewing the MOVIE aspect of the place and not…read morethe music. Sorry. I come here whenever I get the chance, pretty much the last serious place that caters to true cinephiles in the Lower Mainland (I gave up on Sunrise Records after they stopped selling Criterion). Most of their prices are equal if not less than what you'd find on Amazon, at their cheapest, and they're always totally up to date with the newest blu ray releases. The guy who always works the counter there always seems grateful for my business and I'm always happy to give it. My favorite spot in Kits, the place is quite small but I can get lost in its blu ray and DVD collection for hours looking at so many elusive and classic movie titles. It earns my full recommendation.

The adult section is blocked off, of course, but you still probably wouldn't want to take kids here. Curious little buggers. On the regular movie side of the store, they have every movie imaginable, and it's up to date too - with stuff I didn't even know had been released on video. The staff are extremely knowledgeable - movie geeks in the best sense of the word. And unlike those other big-chain stores, Tom's is open 24 hours a day. It's a pretty interesting place to go in the middle of the night.

I live in Poco and it's a shame to have such a terrible retro video game store here…read more They have a great selection but this is the most overpriced retro store in the lower mainland. There prices are about 20% more than the highest eBay price. I would venture to say 30 to 40% more than press start in new west or game bit in mission. Honestly I wanted super Mario Allstars for my snes. This guy wanted $69 for it. I went to press start and it was $29. That's $40???? Over double the competition. Avoid this con man at all costs. Seriously there is like 10 retro game stores in the lower mainland. Take a drive, it will literally cost less in gas then to deal with this bozo. Or order the most expensive copy of what your looking for on eBay. You will still save money. I was in there yesterday, their games are also in shit condition. There snes and nes games. So not only are they ridiculously expensive, they are ridiculously expensive shit. :)

I'm visiting from Hawaii, and there are ZERO stores selling retro video games besides the thrift shops and buy/sell bookstores where you only hope someone donates or sells their games, which is very rare, and hope they're not incredibly overpriced, which is often. Nintendo NES games is what I'm collecting at the moment. I had a pretty big collection when I was a kid, and recently felt like expanding it. Luckily, Vancouver has a couple of these stores, and Gamedeals Video Games has TONS of NES games!!! Getting to this store located in New Westminster from Downtown Vancouver was a journey, but worth it. Coming into this store brought back so many memories when I used to go to video game stores almost every week 20 years ago. It was pretty much the exact same thing! Not only was there video games, there were also toys, board games, and other awesome things. Everything was very organized by section and in alphabetical order. I spent a good hour here just browsing and selecting my games. For the NES games, they were only loose games or with the box. No dust sleeves or instruction booklets for the loose games for some reason. It was hard not to buy every game that I don't have, but I only bought the ones that were priced below market value and in good condition. In the end, I came out with 8 games. I definitely would've bought more if I stayed longer! But I need to safely bring them all home! I was looking for rare games, which they had a few, but way, way, overpriced. Overall, a nice, nostalgic experience. An excellent store with games and accessories for every game console since the Atari. The staff wasn't exactly the friendly, talkative, super nerdy bunch, but friendly enough. I felt I got a decent deal for my games. Definitely happy! Hopefully they all work cause returning them would be a little troublesome.

Oddly I became most recently a hard media anime collector, now the problem with that is where do I…read morefind this kind of stuff to buy as online options have become limited. While doing searches for "anime video bluray stores near me" this one came up. I will admit, I have never know or heard about this place, and yet this place has been around, I have driven past this place many times without even knowing it ever existed. And since knowing about this place this year I can say it is a place I truly enjoy being lost in. They do have a website, and the website alone brings you back to the days of early webpages, there is a certain charm to it. Then you come to the store, and there is a lot of stuff, not just anime, but if you are looking for hard media, blu-ray, 4K, hard to find movies, and even manga, the selection looks like they are totally overstocked as there is even items in boxes on the floor. The people who work here are awesome too, as usually I do an order directly to their website and leave a note to process my card on file and will come pick it up. So if you are looking for an experience of going into a 'video' store, this one may overwhelm you in a good way, and sometimes you might not know what you are looking for, and that is fine, the people here know what they carry, and also can guide you to the area that is of your interest, just like me, you will find me at the center, in the anime isle browsing through titles, and them practically having a hand already on my credit card.

I'm visiting from Hawaii, and there are no stores like it besides thrift shops and buy/sell bookstores where you only hope someone donates or sells their games, which is very rare, and also hope they're not incredibly overpriced, which is often. I found Gamedeals and Press Start. I went to Gamedeals first, and it's in the same area as Press Start in New Westminster. I wish I can to Press Start first! It's a small store and messily organized because it's jam packed with everything retro. I was just interested in NES games. Their quantity isn't much, but their prices are a lot better than the other store. They also have more rare games, but they were still overpriced, just not as much. The person who helped me was very friendly and helpful. He's genuinely into this stuff and it clearly shows! I grabbed another load of NES games even though I said I wouldn't because I still had to carefully pack it away in my luggage. Next trip, I'll just bring an empty suitcase with bubble wrap! Overall, I wish there were more stores and people who sell retro games fairly and reasonably because the people buying are collectors too and look to just collect. Most people just price gouge like crazy just looking for the uninformed customers. I'm glad Press Start Video Games doesn't do that. All their games are guaranteed with a 14 day return policy (much better than 7 days at other stores). Just a great store! Reminded me of a video game store in Kaimuki I went to every Saturday when I was a kid. I regret not buying more NES games at that time!
