I'd have video game music playing on the overhead speakers, systems and TVs availble for people to try a video game on before they purchased it, and other video game merchandise like accessories, posters, dolls, action figures, etc. And only hire people who were knowledgeable of general video gaming. I'd also sell used video games and allow people to sell their games to the store for either store credit or cash (most people prefer cash).

I would sell all the games that EB does ( meaning genrés and systems/PC) and have things like game competitions every once and a while. Like Smash Bros tourneys, or something like that. I would have some old 8/16-bit songs playing overhead, but you cant do that all the time, or else it gets old. So i would probably play anything that isnt rap. People dont want to wal into a happy store environment only to hear "Smack ma b*tch up."

Have vending machines, or like, coolers where people can buy drinks and stuff.

Basically, i would make it a game store/ hang out area.

But no lame ass card games will take place in my store.

*dieshappy*

ditto on the no cards. :D

also, make the store BIG... no more of this 5' x 5' box with a sign on it stuff like in malls! and i'd have a cool discount card deal like best buy and sam goody etc... but it would be better lol. AND FREE STICKERS!!!!!!!

Re: If you owned a video game store....
 

Yeah, no hybrid stores (if I could make a living just off of video games.) Maybe a little arcadage going (DDR, Guilty Gear, you know), and it would be SUPER organized so I wouldn't have anything I couldn't find. =o *shock!*

Free beer is good too.

But swear to god, some shops are so disorganized.

Street Fighter III: Third Strike as well

Get more creative... like make the building look like mushroom kingdom, or the inside of the pillar of autumn.... would you have couches and big screens, 7.1 surround sound? Get creative with this.

RE: Re: If you owned a video game store....
 

Where can I get more creative?Interesting comparison.I am not so sure if I would like to have couches and big screens 7point 1 surround sound.Where can I get creative with this?

Re: If you owned a video game store....
 

Why CamFu Bot? is 7.1 surround not good enough for you?

Re: If you owned a video game store....
 

I can only think of one thing actually. That thing is no games like Barbie or Olsen twins games. Or how about no games that really suck. So the people who work there have to play the game before you can put it in stock. If the game is good, put it in stock, if not, you don't. And the bigger the better. And a catchy name.

either that or make that the uniforms for the employees.
