Just For Fun Video Games

The staff are really annoying. I was browsing to see if there were any games I was interested in and they forced to make a purchase.

Just for Fun is one of those places where people must ask themselves if they are willing to pay a little more to support a small local business. The staff here were pretty nice and very eager to help us find what we were looking for on our first trip in. They also have a loyalty program where after a certain number of purchases you get 10 dollars off I believe. They have an awesome selection of rare older titles as well as hands down the best selection of used consoles I have seen anywhere in the city.
In terms of titles for current systems however I do not think that anyone would argue with me when I say they are charging entirely too much. A loose copy of Sonic Colors for the DS for instance is NOT worth $ 14.99. I picked this one up at Nexwave games for $ 4.99. A couple of dollars difference between competitor shops doesn’t usually phase me but $ 10.00 hovers dangerously near insulting in my books.
I have not done any trade ins with them so I can not speak about that aspect of their business but as a buyer there was enough positive for me to be interested in returning to add to my retro collection. However I would likely take a pass next time I want something for my 3DS or PS4 in favor of Nexwave or even EB Games.

I’ve been to quite a few used video game shops throughout the years. What sets this one apart for me is the cleanliness. Nothing grosses me out more than walking into a smelly store full of other people’s filth, and there is none of that here!!! Thank you Just For Fun!
The customer service was great. The owner herself helped us out, and gave us a bit of history of her store. It’s been there since 1992, and her motto is nothing goes on the shelf unless it’s clean enough for her to take home and put on her own dining room table. And it shows.
I do agree with other reviewers that the prices for some things may seem higher than the average. This is a good place to go for old school hard to find games, so you’re going to be paying more anyways.
Honestly if I had the choice of buying from this store, or searching for a better price elsewhere, I’d buy it from here just knowing its clean. I know that doesn’t matter to everyone, but it certainly does for me!

Not a bad little store… some of the prices are steep, but if it’s something average they’ll cut you a deal.

They have been around for a long time and keep the formula simple. Have the rare stuff and therefore if you are searching they may just be the first and last place you need to go to.
However be prepared to pay a lot to get that old school gem you long for. They have some of the highest prices around so a quick search of kijiji or the pawn shops may pay off better. If you want it fast however and money isn’t a big deal to get what you want fast then this is the place.
Don’t expect super service but they will try and help if «you» ask them for the help. I looked for an old atari power cord without help for a while just to see if anyone would eventually ask me but nope. Any way I did find it and bought it as well as and old school Goldeneye 64 game that was hella expensive but convenient.
They have all systems and rare ones at that and carry movies, adaptors, guides etc so really do have most of what someone wants.
Give them a try but bring your wallet ;)
