    Rude, condescending and unprofessional staff. Everything is overpriced. Shop elsewhere unless you enjoy being ripped off.

    Bad customer service from the moody boys who work here. If the store is doing bad they will rip you off on buying. Sold me a fake Zelda orcarina of time. Check the code on the front of the game and the front and back mold dont even line up.

    Good afternoon Al, this is the owner of Power Up Gaming. We pay a consistent amount for our games which is the highest amounts in the area. In 7 years, we have never had a counterfeit game leave our store or ever had someone say they received one. We take care of our customers so if it is true then why have you not contacted us? We have a full 30 day warranty on any game we sell. Feel free to contact us at any time at 705-503-4263.

    Awful pricing, terrible trade in credit, extremely rude employees, I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.

    Good afternoon Rich, we try to give the best trade-in credit possible and I am confident that if we gave an amount then it is higher then anyone else in the area. Unfortunately we get a lot of people in that feel their stuff is worth more then we are willing to pay but the good news is, the customer has the choice to walk away. We don't force anyone to sell or trade to us. As far as rude employees, this is the first time I have ever had someone mention this and would love to hear more about it.

    Amazing business! Highly recommend checking them out as I just went in and grabbed almost $300 worth of games that were at least 20% higher at Video Time. There selection is great. Not sure what everyone is moaning about but trust me, you will appreciate everything they have to offer.

    Thank you for your amazing review. :) We try and get our customers to focus on Facebook and Google for the reviews. Yellowpages.ca is a bit of a dying website. Our overall reviews there are a lot better then here. :)

    Great selection, but I disagree with the owner on some things!

    Good afternoon John, this is Kevin, the owner. I am not familiar with your name and this is a rather unusual review. Normally a review of a business is based on the business itself but apparently yours is based on a difference of opinion with me directly? Feel free to shoot me an email at any time at kevin at powerupgaming.ca or call me at 705-503-4263 to discuss anything you would like. I am very approachable.

    When this store o...

    When this store opened up, it was amazing. The prices were fair and the selection was excellent. But now both the prices and selection are terrible. This store is flooded with common titles that range from 2-5 times the average eBay price. Even the trade in system has been ruined since they now no longer allow you to trade towards higher priced games.It is more often than not cheaper to import games from the United States via eBay than shop at this store.

    Good afternoon Barrie2525. Sorry it took so long to respond to your review. What you are describing is exactly true. With a retro game store you can not succeed with great pricing and a great selection. You need to either have one or the other. If you have great pricing then your selection suffers because everything sells. If you have a great selection then your pricing is set to high. There is a very fine balance. We have now mastered that. Check us out again sometime. :)

    Customer service ...

    Customer service was fine but prices were absolutely ridiculous on all their older nintendo games. Would not go back again unless you want to pay 2-3 times the price of what the games worth.

    Three years ago we had a struggle between pricing and selection. Too low pricing meant no selection. Too high of a price meant great selection but low sales. 5 years into the business now and we have a very good balance of pricing and selection. Check us out again and I think you will be very impressed with where we are now. :)
