Disc Replay

This place used to be awesome. We could snag great deals on rare items. It was great for browsing then coming across stuff like OH YEAH I need that now. But now it’s more of a defend your wallet kinda game. We waste time comparing prices on Amazon and usually finding the same item even newer for cheaper. So we’re standing there searching on the phone then going HELL NO even if we get some stares… I’ll still make my statement! ;) The conditions of used items here are too busted and dusted most of the time. This place is startin to smell like a thrift store and you may come out smelling dusty too. Lol. I’ve had my share of sneeze attacks in here too. Dollar Tree looks like a more appealing neighbor to visit in the area.

My go to place when I want a movie I can’t find anywhere else!

Great place to find cheap movies and games but the staff has really down graded over the years. I used to come here a lot but i just feel like it’s just a who you know kind of business. No one will put in extra effort to help you look for something. I go to the oak brook location now (a bit of a drive but if it’s better it’s better). A lot more cleaner and organized there than here sadly.

Disc Replay used to be a good spot to find dvds and used games for a good price however the staff comes off as judgmental and seem annoyed dealing with customers.

I didn’t even realize Disc Replay was still around, but I stumbled upon it last weekend when I was in the area. They have a pretty good movie and music selection and everything is super cheap. My boyfriend got refurbished PS3 controllers for a pretty decent price. Definitely worth checking out!

If you can get over the: overly hipster-​wannabe, know it all, college freshman/​high school seniors that work there, then it’s a gold mine!
The store is huge. Mostly dvd’s. Some games, gaming systems etc, cd’s, posters, a lot of randomness. But mostly dvd’s.
I used to be obsessed with the $ 5 dvd bin at Walmart, until I came across Disc Replay. $ 1.99 movies… $ 3.99 movies… And they offer email coupons?! I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve bought dozens of movies from them, and my husband a few xbox360 games too… All mega cheap, and all in 100% condition. We’ve not once had a bad purchase yet! They know what they’re doing.
And the best part… They do buy-​backs. I can’t tell you how many dvd’s we used to own that we never watched. So we took a bag full in one day, and were given an option of straight cash or store credit. It wasn’t retail value by any means (obviously they have to make a profit), but hey… Getting cash for old dusty dvd’s on the shelf is the way to go!
I’ve heard of other locations, but this one is the closest for us (across from Fox Valley Mall) and why travel elsewhere when you’re happy with results?!
4 stars (not 5) only cause the store selection is totally fantastic! Prices are ridiculously reasonable! But I’ve literally watched the smart-​mouthed bratty employees make snarky remarks to other customer’s faces regarding their movie/​music/​game preferences, and I just wanna smack ‘em! Darn teens. Ugh…

I usually go to the Disc Replay in Hoffman Estates but they didn’t have what I was looking for so I ventured out here.
The Disc Replay here was a pretty good size & had a pretty good selection. They have a good range of titles on DVD & Blu-​Ray.
I came here because the Disc replay in Hoffman Estates didn’t have the title I was looking for. All of the Disc Replays have different prices because they pay different prices for the items they buy & most have different owners. This Disc Replay also told me that they usually have a better selection than the one in Hoffman Estates.
Overall this Disc Replay had a good selection & ok service so I would visit this location again.

I used to shop at Disc Replay all the time in high school. Finding a new release, or a longed for treasure, for less than $ 7 was so fun.
But things have changed over the years. The staff is much like «High Fidelity,» putting themselves on a pedestal and ready to verbally assault you if you ask for a Lionel Richie record.
The management here is strange. So are the employees. Lazy and tired looking, as if they just rolled out of bed and rolled up a joint. I was looking for a 2^nd job once, and when I came in for the interview and asked for Tom, the manager, the employee looked at me quizzically as if to say, «Tom who?»
The CD inventory is no longer the focus here. It’s a barrage of CDs, VHS, DVDs, video games and video game systems, it’s become more of a junk shop and a huge disappointment.
Just go to Amazon to find stuff cheaper.

Great selection and great competitive prices. I don’t know if it is an Illinois thing or I just have bad luck, but the key to return business is CUSTOMER SERVICE! I went in to trade in some original X-​Box games for some 360 games. The young lady assisting me was rude and very short with me. She was also arguing with the other young employee about performing the duties of their job in front of me and other customers. I will not be returning to this location and either of the other locations as well. Wholly not impressed.

Disc replay in Naperville can be found right across Route 59 from the very busy Fox Valley Shopping Mall. For those unfamiliar with the Disc Replay chain they buy and sell DVDs, Blu-​Rays, CDs and video games. What makes one disc replay better than another is price and selection and this disc replay is larger and has a better selection than most.
While CDs are growing closer and closer to becoming obsolete and the section of compact discs in this store is far less than it once was there is still a better selection than other nearby second-​hand music stores. The DVD selection at this particular store is huge but a bit picked over at times. Desirable out of print movies don’t show up as often here as I’ve seen at other locations either because they’re being bought up rather quickly or are put off to the side as they come in. The video game section is the part that interests me most. Their current generation games are fairly priced and there’s a decent selection. The retro stuff is a bit of a mixed bag, while they have a fair amount of games, systems and peripherals that GameStop no longer carries their pricing is curious with games and systems going for far higher than ebay values in certain cases and in other cases a bit lower. It seems as though they have someone look up some of the games on ebay without context as to condition, whether or not it has the original box or manual and price some things towards the higher end of the spectrum.
Overall I like this Disc Replay and recommend, good deals are to be had if you’re looking for second-​hand movies, games and music.

Pretty good selection of cds. I am an old fart that likes to still buy cds and this place does a good job of keeping a not too stale selection of old and new music.
Call ahead if you’re looking for something in particular and they can search for you.

Sometimes instead of downloading the song from the Internet, I rather have the original copy, especially some England music.
They do have it, I love there since I always came out with surprise when I can found some rare CD in there. Mostly the price is under 10 dollars, I do buy used DVD too, and sometimes I can’t tell those are used DVD. Good movie I always want to keep original DVD.

In the land if cheap used DVDs, the cheapest place is king. This place is king, mainly for a good amount of $ 3.99 major name titles. The organization is very orderly for a used DVD joint. There is a limited selection of Cd’s, which was the main focus of this place a few years ago. You might get lucky finding a hard to track down CD you were looking for. The bulk of the DVD selection is under $ 7.99, and there is a huge selection of most titles anyone would ever want. The real bargain is in the TV show and movie box sets, which are a good 15% to 25% cheaper than on Amazon. There are a good amount of old video games here, prices are similar to gamestop.
This is one of the bigger Disc Replays yet It seemed to carry less of a variety of any I’ve been. Or maybe I just own more of what I was looking for.

This Disc Replay is pretty friggin’ huge, I’ll say that. They have a nice selection of anything you might be looking for — and all for a decent price. An employee even admitted that their video game prices are pretty much determined by seeing what an item goes for online and at competitors and then undercutting it. Nice practice. That’s why they’re my first choice for gaming goodies.
Having worked in a used CD store like Disc Replay for many, many years… I can understand the attitude a lot of people get from the employees. It’s partly something that comes with the job — much like people expect a bit of aloofness from baristas or indie record store clerks. Well, used CD stores are a bit like the suburban form of indie record stores. The attitude just comes with the job.
However, a lot of the attitude also comes from dealing with customers. People who bring their CDs/​DVDs in and expect to get top dollar for them (remember, the clerks don’t determine how much you get, the store policy does). People who try to barter with you because they think they walked into a flea market. People who ARE looking to sell their grandma’s Engelbert Humperdinck CDs to pay for their next crack fix. Believe me — It’s MUCH more common than you think, even in the suburbs. In short, ignore the initial bristliness and just treat the employees like people — and you’ll usually get the same back.

Back when I used to play video games and watch animé, I used to head on down to disc replay. The selection has it’s ups and downs depending on when you go. I remember a much wider selection of video games & animé when I first visited there years ago for instance. The movie selection was always decent and seems to be much larger these days. Lots of kid flicks if you have rugrats. Prices were alittle high for some of the used stuff IMO, but that’s my cheap side speaking.
As for the staff, I know a couple of workers there, and my brother knows the owner and her family. They’re great people, as one person mentioned in another review, they got the aloof part down pat.

Second-​hand CDs, DVD and VHS movies. You need a good 30 – 60 minutes to rummage around. I haven’t found any great rarities, but rounded out my White Stripes and Phish. Comprehensive childrens’ movie selection, so check the Disney meter in your home then buy/​sell accordingly. Employees posess the requisite aloofness but will answer your questions.
