Great selection of classic consoles and games, great service, everything on the site is also available in the store which was nice to know. Buddy checked all the wiiU consoles so I could get the best condition screen of what they had. I appreciated that.

I had an amazing experience with powerup! The ps2 games I ordered came without a single scratch on them. Hoping to buy the trusted ps2 console next. Thank you!
