Found a bunch of old games in my closet & traded them in literally thought I was gonna get $5 as expected but they gave me a reasonable amount of trade $$$ let’s say I didn’t leave disappointed I will be coming back to spend my credit & it’s cool that the credit can be in my account until I’m ready to use it … also they fix phones too cool place ?

This is no doubt the largest retro gaming store I’ve seen so far, i bought a few of my childhood favorite games from here. The customer service was great too. I plan on coming back to complete my collection.

Love the fact that this niche retro/modern game store is just 20 minutes away from me, I enjoy coming here every now and then to pick out a title and chat with the employees for a good few minutes. Keep up the great work y’all!

I have been going to eStarland for many years but I haven't written a review for them. This place is massive. I'm shocked at how much space they have for their games because it's almost like walking into a warehouse full of games, anime figurines, and merch. Everything out in the open games are shrink wrapped and it does help keep that minty fresh condition, I'm sure you don't want to see dust on items you want to buy. The back section used to be an open spot where they would host events. The Gamers Exchange was what I looked forward to the most when going here. Local sellers sold games and it brought a sense of community. There's now more of their section to test and repair consoles so I suppose it's for the better but those were the days.. Apart from all the cool video games to check out I have a few complaints. Like many, checking out here takes too long and I wonder if it's just something where their point of sales is just outdated. Even then, there's only one person just checking out people.. why not have more than one register at a time? There's the option to use WiFi but I could never get it to work. Although there are computers around to look up items that you want to check the price on, it can be a tad slow sometimes. I do like the convenience of checking out what's in stock but sometimes that's not always the case. I remember a few times asking someone that worked there if they had a game, they could not find the game at all and that put a damper on my visit. If I can't see it in person in store then most likely it's probably bought online. Otherwise I find this store to be such a joy to visit. While I think the prices are kinda high, I don't think any game store in the area could really compute. They have games ranging from NES - Recent and that's pretty impressive alone. It's so cool to visit a store that caters to anime and video games enthusiasts.

I go here every visit to Virginia. The selection is incredible and prices are fair. Wish it was a bit easier to find stuff, the computers were hit or miss.

Their selection of games, consoles, various controllers, and assorted peripheral products is amazing. What is not amazing is the slower than molasses customer service. Easy 20-minute wait in line just to buy a game. Their POS system seems slow and antiquated, and they never have more than 2 people waiting on customers. G-d forbid you want to exchange games, that's easy, another 30-40 minute process.

Usually a good place to buy/sell retro games. DO NOT buy a digital storefront card (eShop/PSN/steam/Xbox) from them. Mine was never scanned at the register and their customer service failed to respond to me after I called Nintendo and they verified the card was never scanned.

I've generally had poor experiences with used/retro video game stores in the past, but eStarland provides exceptional service that surpasses the rest. The website can currently be problematic, but the employees are fantastic and will help with what they can. Prices are more than fair for high quality products.

Tons of vintage game related stuff. Not used, new stuff but vintage.Didn't know what to expect, it's in a warehouse/business park set of buildings.

One of the best Retro video games stores on the east coast. This store has been around since I was a kid in the 90s.

I have both ordered from their website and visited their store. Easily the greatest video games store to buy from. They have amazing selection, and great customer satisfaction too. They have basically ensured I will never shop anywhere else for games again besides them. Keep up the amazing work!

I got my PS Vita’s battery replaced a couple of months ago from here and I never knew how much of a difference a new battery would make. I play my vita almost everyday and I wish I had sent it here much sooner. I’m glad places like this exist and can perform repairs on systems that are no longer supported.

I'm not sure what all the negative reviews are about but I had a great first time experience today selling my Xbox 360 hardware and games. There was plenty of staff who were able to answer my questions. Getting my items checked in was fairly simple and Oscar helped facilitate the whole process. I would definitely recommend eStarland for buying and selling!

I have been here several times and I always walk out buying something! ? I love all the options and really clear organization of all the products. They basically have everything under the sun. If they don't have it physically in the store you can always order online!The staff is always helpful as well!I really enjoy their figure and model kit collections!Anytime I'm in a pinch for a game and want to play more immediately than wait I recommend going here! ♥️
