as has been said in previous threads, Game were looking well dodgy. not stocking Mass Effect etc etc. Heard this morning they have called in the administrators. Another high street retail chain bites the dust.

 

I did wonder what was going on with that E-mail about Mass effect etc...

Pity.

 

**** sake, i got a good few quid on their loyalty card, tis gonna be useless now.

 

Not surprising really they are mega expensive!!

 

maybe they will swap it for some scatter cushions for your caravan

 

The Game's up.....

 

Hey i was gonna say that

They think its all over,it is now

 

No real surprise there, sadly. Video games are commodity items, there's no way suppliers can differentiate themselves other than on price and availability - and the online retailers have them well and truly beaten on both counts.

Add that to the fact that publishers are trying their hardest to screw both resellers and end customers by selling games with single-use activation keys, and it's almost inevitable that high st retailers are going to struggle.

I'll miss Game - even though, like many others it seems, I never actually bought very much from them.

 

Damn I bought a pre-owned DS lite from them just after xmas with 1yr warranty. Guess that warranty has gone bye bye.

 

Not surprised there delivery times were abysmal!

 

they will downscale and will only lose the quiet shops

 

Part of the problem is the number of stores they have in the same areas, for example they have 2 game stores and a gamestation which is owned by game all within 200metres of each other, it's crazy really.

 

GAME OVER!

 

In my local town Game and Gamestation are separated by one shop!!

Bought lots of pre-owned games from gamestation, nothing fron Game.
The queues in gamestation were incredible at times...

 

Our local one shuts for good this friday, shame as staff were great

TX.

 

insert credit....

 

Really you lot that are posting joke remarks over this news,its all a GAME to you isn't it..

 

I think Jamz3k has some
