"Now On DVD" is actually a MOVIE RENTAL PLACE like Blockbuster, but it's actually not a chain. I…read morelove this place because you can rent and also buy some movies. It is run by these Asian folks that are cool as hell. They have a cool variety of movies you can rent, you can even rent some ASIAN MOVIES ASWELL! POSITIVES: -Pretty cool parking lot. -Great customer service. -Nice, clean and organized place. -XXX section for all you pervs! HAHAHHAA! -They also sell some CHEAP popcorn packs if you wanna eat popcorn while watching the movie you rented. NEGATIVES: -With all the Asian movies they have, I'm surprised that they don't have "Battle Royale" or the REAL KOREAN version of "My Sassy Girl". -They need to start getting more BLU-RAY discs and more VIDEO GAMES. -I don't like the fact that Blockbuster closes LATER than "Now On DVD", because that means it leaves me no choice but to go rent at Blockbuster. FINAL THOUGHTS: -There are a lot more cool secrets about this place, but you will have to find out yourself! hahaha! (no, it's not a secret massage parlor! hahaha) -This is THE BEST NON-CHAIN video rental place in Carson...reminds me of a better version of the old Triple 7 Video (R.I.P., now Pizza Patron took over), but bigger! -A few miles down, "M's VIDEO" SUCKS...I hate that place! I used to work there with one of the old owners and they ripped me off back then!

Located within easy walking distance, the GameStop in downtown Long Beach is of decent size and has…read morea decent selection of new and used games along with knowledgeable staff. The previous Yelp business posting (which has many reviews, including mine) was incorrectly marked as being permanently closed after Covid. Tried to get it reinstated, but it looks like this business listing was created instead...so...putting another review out there. As usual, the interaction and purchase experience was good. GameStop is on a tough business model: even with video gaming becoming bigger than film, tv, and music combined, the move to digital from physical discs has greatly reduced the opportunity to buy and sell used games, which has historically been its bread-and-butter. Plus with Amazon.com also being in this space on-line, it really squeezes competitors and suppliers alike. It's been a while since I last visited, with my annual membership expiring earlier this year. It no longer makes sense for me to have it, with the infrequent purchases (mainly because it takes me a really long time to finish a game), and the discounts being minimal. The store is still arranged similarly to what I remember: sections for Playstation, XBox, and Nintendo. The new and used games were kinda mixed together, but ordered alphabetically. And pricing was definitely based to match Amazon...any sale items were the same price on Amazon. I appreciated saving a little money on the one used game that I found that I was interested in (AC-Shadows set in feudal Japan). The associate found the physical copy easily, applied the appropriate discounts, and we were on our way.

Prior to the event we discussed COVID protocols, and I was impressed to see that he took such care to ensure the safety of the next gamers who would be using the systems.

It's a place where you can get lost in the worlds of Batman, the Avengers, the Justice League, and countless other characters. It's also a welcoming spot for the gaming community, where people gather to play trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Disney Lorcana. This store has been part of the community for years and is now under new management. With so few comic book stores left in Southern California, it's great to see a local shop like this still thriving. The shelves are packed with comic books, graphic novels, figurines, trading cards, collectibles, and even used DVDs, making it fun to browse no matter what you're into. The owners and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Whether you're a longtime collector, a casual fan, or someone just getting into comics or trading card games, they make you feel welcome. It's the kind of neighborhood comic shop that's becoming harder to find, and it's well worth supporting.
