Game X Change

March 4th, 2011

Game X Change in Tyler
Game X Change lives up to it’s name in that they will definitely exchange your games. Game X Change is Tyler’s greatest resource for video games and consoles, bringing entertainment and equipment to any console in need.

It can be time consuming and difficult to find and purchase vintage game systems like original Nintendo’s and Atari’s, but thanks to Game X Change it has never been easier and closer to drive down and pick up a classic super Nintendo or original Gameboy games.

Their games are fairly comprehensive, they’ll almost always have a classic such as Duck Hunt or Super Mario Bros and even rare and demanded items like the first legend of zelda for your Gameboy or console.

But the options are honestly to much to name, there’s a library of old games to choose from, you wont have to wait weeks for an ebay purchase to arrive when instead you can easily pick up the same game right in Tyler.

Game X Change also carries the latest video game options such as Playstation 3’s or Xbox 360’s with every conceivable accessory or controller. Handheld devices such as the Nintendo DS are supplied in equal amount with a great variety of games and extensions to choose from.

Game X Change has another role in the gamers life through buying and trading video games and equipment. Game X Change is able to supply these rare and much sought after items because of it’s bartering nature.

Anybody is welcome to bring in their movies, games, consoles and accessories to sell for cash or if you want a better value you can establish a credit with the store which will equal more than the cash received but can only be used for in store purchases.

Many people plan on buying more games with their sold games anyways, Game X Change has made it easier and less expensive for the avid gamer to experience the huge selection of games available for every console through their exchanging process.

With two registers the store can get a little busy, but the staff is very helpful and will be happy to show you a game or even demonstrate it or a console for your satisfaction. If you decide to visit remember to bring some quarters, Game X Change has classic arcade games throughout the store making it difficult for video game fans to pull themselves away from such a haven of entertainment.

Black Friday Freak Out

December 14th, 2009

 
Thanksgiving night, lines out the door, why? Some deals are good, some are not worth it. Makes me wonder how many of these people actually would buy this stuff if it wasn’t on sale. One of my favorite things that I use to tell my husband when I buy something on sale is “it was 50% off, I saved you $20”. Of course he isn’t impressed and says “you could have saved me $20 if you didn’t buy it in the first place.” I don’t say that anymore. But I do admit I was in line Friday morning at 3:00 for a camcorder that I had talked myself into “needing” (60% off of original prices, it was a must have). As I stood there for two hours repeatedly asking myself why I was there with only five other people in line fighting to the death over the thirteen available camcorders, I was rather entertained by the Wal-Mart employees.

     As you walk into the store, you could feel the fear of the employees, as if it was the quiet before the storm. The store was mapped out. Each large sale item was marked by lettered balloon and two clueless employees. The balloons were spread across the store for flat screen televisions, Playstation 3, Blueray players, and this year’s popular item, a laptop on sale for $200. As I stood alone for the first hour in “line” for the most unpopular item manager after manager asked me what line I was standing in line for. They had no idea what was going on. Employees and managers even came up to me asking where the line for some desktop computer was. I was following their map and instructions that they didn’t even understand. The smaller sale items, such as movies, video games, and popular toys, were wrapped in plastic wrap and an employee guarded them like a hawk.

    Once the clock struck five the wild rumpus exploded. You could barely walk down the aisles and if you were pushing a shopping cart you were entering a death trap. Not to mention the frustrating older ladies that would stop and talk to their friends right in the middle of the traffic, while you stood behind them unable to move your cart around them as they talk about how many people are in the store.

    Something surprisingly impressive happened that day, something I never have seen and probably never will see again. Wal-Mart had all of their cash registers opened at the same time. Well done Wal-Mart!

    So next year as you are getting ready for the big sales I recommend Tyler TX Wal-Mart (especially on Troop hwy.) but make sure you know what you are doing because the employees are no help.
