I recently visited Brandon's Video Game Exchange, and not with high expectations, the guy who owned the place shouldn't have been running a video game store. I'd only been there a few times, (to get discs resurfaced, since no one else does it) and the guy was exactly as the other reviews described him. However, to my suprise there was a kid there behind the counter. He told me someone else had bought the store from the old guy, and he was the new store manager. I think he said his name was Nick, or Mick or someting. Always being a fan of local business as opposed to the giant corporate chains ( I used to work at a gamestop, I hate that place now) I talked to the kid a while. He said they had big plans. They were working to get thier inventory up, especially on newer stuff, like 360, PS3 and Wii, and even made mention of possibly buying brand new games, and not selling strictly used games. Thier inventory is already better than last time I was here, this will be a store to watch. The kid knows what he's talking about too, we talked about all kinds of games, and he actually had played most of them, not like the old guy who had never picked up a controller. I'm excited to have a great local game store again.
Pros: Great potential. Local.
Cons: Still needs some work, but I'm stoked to see it when it's done.
