Game Players Unlimited

I probably spend upwards of 1K a year on video games, more than I probably should considering I don’t make that much. As a result, I’ve been trying to find a decent local video game store that offers cheaper prices and better customer service then what I have been currently getting at other stores around the area. I’m no to fond of the twenty minute drive to get here but it’s totally worth it in the long run.
This is very similar to the Game Craze stores around Rochester but is also very different from them. I’ll start with the prices because for me, that was the most important factor for me visiting Game Players Unlimited. The popular titles such as Mario games are only really a dollar cheaper than what GameStop offers (without Pro Membership) but the plus side is that you are guaranteed a complete copy in excellent condition. I have found similar games to be a dollar cheaper than what GameStop sells them for which I’m assuming is where they are getting their prices at for the latest and last gen games but your still saving money because there is a rewards program to be found here.
The program is free and is instantly available when you purchase a product but it isn’t forced upon you. There is no fees to my knowledge and for every $ 10 worth of pre-​owned games or accessories bought in the store, you get a coin stamped on the card that they give you. When you get 20 coins, you get 20% off on any pre-​owned purchase in the store. This also applies to trade in credit so if you trade in $ 10 worth of stuff or more, you get a stamp. In short, because its free, it’s well worth the investment if you become a frequent shopper here.
The store? It looks tiny from the outside but on the inside it’s quite spacious with lots of room to move around. The entrance is on the right side by the parking lot and when you walk in, you will face the counter which holds most of the retro games from Dreamcast down to Atari. They also put Nintendo DS & 3DS cartridges in the cases while boxed games go up on the wall in the back. The back wall to the left has the PlayStation 4 & Xbox One titles while the other side contains Nintendo related accessories for all generations. It’s all neatly organized and is easy to browse because of the amount of room in the store. The Xbox & Xbox 360 titles are in the back right corner while the Nintendo Wii & GameCube titles are just next to them. The GameCube selection is probably the smallest there but the quality of titles there is well worth the space. The Xbox titles are larger in comparison and are a great option for those looking to start an Xbox collection.
In the middle of the store, you can buy DVD’s or Blu-​Rays but besides the $ 2.99 bin, most are individually priced. However, they are all sorted by movie genre so it makes browsing through them a breeze. I should also mention that when you purchase anything from here, you get a coupon on the receipt for buy two get one free on all used DVD’s in case that is your thing. They don’t really sell CD’s anymore as all CD’s are only $ 1.00 in addition to you getting one free when buying one or getting one free with any other purchase in the store. Unless Christmas CD’s are your thing, it isn’t worth it.
On the left side of the store there is a good selection of PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 titles. You will find your common titles here along with some rare ones depending on when you stop in but those will carry a higher price tag, but they are a tad lower than what they go for online so you are getting a deal to an extent. If you go to the far left wall their are strategy guides for super low prices with the average price being three dollars or under. I can assume they have been there for a long time because the shelves are cobweb ridden and some are sun-​faded.
All in all, a great selection of games and movies but what really makes it great is the service. I’ve only dealt with the store manager but she was more than happy to answer any questions or requests I had and gave no attitude at all whatsoever. It was really her that made me keep me coming back because the store has such a positive atmosphere to it.
They do have another location in Batavia but if you can’t make the drive down there, Game Players Unlimited is an excellent choice for video gaming in the Rochester area. For the gas and trip, I think I may double the games just by next year.
