GameStop Review Kids Video Games, Consoles

Technology

Consumer Tech for Everyone in the Family

While touring GameStop on Universal City Walk in California recently, I discovered that this in-store and online retailer has much more than just the largest selection of video games in the business.

New, pre-owned games for PS 4, 3, 2 and Vita

Skullcandy Ink'd Ear Buds for hipster kids

Not only do they have a huge kids game collection for Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, PS 3, PS 2, PS Vita, Wii U, 3DS, PC and other platforms.

Controller for Wii

Game lovers of all ages can also buy just about any gaming accessory imaginable along with an assortment of consumer electronics devices and cases like the ones pictured throughout this post.

GameStop Kids Gaming Trade-in Program

Technology

MBE partnered with GameStop for this story

GameStop Influencer Press Day 

Recently I attended an eye-opening press day at GameStop in Universal City, California. There, I experienced first-hand the full range of video gaming products the company offers to consumers in addition to learning about their comprehensive trade-in program, deals and offers. This national event for female bloggers, which traveled to multiple major market cities from New York to L.A., was organized by the team at Techlicious, a company that provides a treasure trove of family-friendly consumer electronics information, advice and resources to parents. Moms LA was instrumental in bringing together us Southern California women tech bloggers for the Los Angeles leg of GameStop's Navigate the Holidays blogger tour.

Some games and accessories from GameStop

With more than 91% of video games now on the market qualifying as family friendly, chances are if your kids are into video games they probably received more than a few new titles for Christmas that they are really into right now. You may have even purchased some gifts for your children at GameStop online or in one of more than 6000 company-owned stores worldwide.

Transforming Unwanted Video Games, Equipment Into New Gear

Video game play continues to soar in popularity especially among young people. Even before the holidays, a survey commissioned by GameStop and research partner Brierley + Partners found that 42% of shoppers were planning on purchasing video games and related products for kids. 

It turns out, video games and consumer electronics proved once again to be extremely popular presents. In fact both were among the best performing product categories during the 2013 holiday shopping season, according to actual sales statistics reported by comScore in early January.

Now that the holidays are over, I'm betting that your kids' new games and equipment have dethroned others that they used to play with. Why not turn this problem into an opportunity? Instead of allowing old and unwanted video games and equipment to pile up, clutter your house and collect dust, this month would be a great time to take advantage of GameStop's Buy-Sell-Trade program which operates year-round.

Disney Infinity ranks among best-sellers

Whether or not products were originally purchased at GameStop, trading in gaming items there that your youngsters no longer use or want is one of the most affordable ways for you to help them upgrade their collection. 

You can bring in old video games to your local retailer and exchange them for cash or GameStop instant store credit that can be used to buy gently-used and new games and equipment. But that's only the tip of the iceberg of opportunity for avid gamers who also want to stretch their budget. The retailer also accepts video game hardware, accessories, consumer electronics including Apple devices and more for trade-in.

Universal CityWalk GameStop Store

January is traditionally the time to reorganize at home. So why not start now to teach kids practical organizational skills by example?  Show your children how to take inventory of their existing gaming gear and how to assess what to keep and what to give away. Then, take your young game enthusiasts to GameStop to start transforming those ugly ducklings into some new and/or previously owned cool stuff they can't wait to start using.
