About Us

We offer you the opportunity to TRY BEFORE YOU BUY! That's right, instead of purchasing a game and taking it home and finding out it is not what you thought it was going to be we let you try your game choices before you buy them. We sell all the latest games and also carry retro games and consoles (Atari, Sega, nes, etc...)..

We REPAIR CONSOLES and RE-SURFACE DISC (games, music, movies, PC), so before you throw away a scratched disc, come see what our disc resurfacing machine can do for you. It's free to try and only $3 after we fix it! Did your Xbox 360 get the three red lights?  Did your PS3 stop reading discs?  Bring your system in today and let our highly skilled repair techs take a look at it!

Planning to sell those old games and consoles that have been in the attic for years at your next yard sale?  Bring them to Play N Trade instead and we will help you turn them into new games you want to play now! We accept trade-ins of games, accessories and consoles regardless of when and where you originally purchased them

Play N Trade is the ULTIMATE VIDEO GAMING EXPERIENCE for everyone from casual gamers to hardcore gamers.

We are located In the CAROLINA PAVILION SHOPPING CENTER at the I-485 and South Blvd. interchange beside Hooter's and Verizon.

We are not just a store, we're a part of our community.

Repair Department

The Carolina Pavilion location of Play N Trade features an in-house repair department for your broken video game consoles!  If you are having issues with your current video game system, drop it off at Play N Trade and let our highly skilled repair techs take a look.  Repairs are less expensive than replacements, and it is only an $18 deposit for the diagnostic, and the deposit is subtracted from the final cost of the repair.  Don't live near South Blvd?  That's ok!  You can drop your system off for diagnostics/maintainence at the Blakeney and Ayrsley locations and it will be delivered to Carolina Pavilion free of charge!
