Posted March 14, 2012 I see GAME are selling this Took this earlier, posted it on me facebook earlier. Cool how much was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 14, 2012 They better offer even more of a discount considering its missing a sword Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 14, 2012 My only thoughts regarding all this is that Game should really get rid of that tacky purple sign. It's heinously repulsive and makes me never want to go in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 I'm starting to think I really should have gone and bought some crap in Game/Gamestation, but I just haven't be arsed to bother. Instead I'm trying to turn some money on their rock bottom shares. I suggest everybody else buy them up too not at all so that mine go up in value of course.

Posted March 15, 2012 I'm half expecting that the next time I go into GAME, all they'll have left would be used copies of Kirby's Air Ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 Cool how much was it? They better offer even more of a discount considering its missing a sword I'll have to ask when i'm in next, but from what people were saying they were practically giving it away with a new copy of Skyrim. It's the new edition, one off. It seems now Activision and Microsoft have reportably pulled from GAME, according to a leaked memo* *That Shopto reported on.

Posted March 15, 2012 If they've lost Microsoft (and by reports the white starwars 360) i suppose that means everything they make so no Xbox's or peripherals? that is bad very very bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 15, 2012 I read somewhere that there were warehouses full of unsold copies. It may have been a joke in NGC Magazine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 It seems to sell well on ebay! I was hoping to get a copy because my kids love Kirby, but was put off by the prices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 Heard they have reduced PS2's to £10 (phat) and £15 (slim) may go pick up one my PS3 is not backwards compatible and when I was in stupid crazy collection building phase bought a few PS2 games thinking I would pick up one cheap some time...finally could play through MGS3 Subsistence.

Posted March 15, 2012 I don't know what they finished at but GAME shares were up about 70% at one point today. LOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 Not hard when you're starting at like 2p :p Might pass by my local game/a gamestation tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not hard when you're starting at like 2p :p Might pass by my local game/a gamestation tomorrow I think they were actually at less than a penny at one point....seems to random investment companies making speculative investments causing shares to rise. Goldman Sachs have done and some other company I forget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 15, 2012 Yeah it's a very risky strategy but can pay off massively. I turned 1k into 4.5k in a day last year with something similar. Of course I then lost most of it the next day but still ended up 500 quid better off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 16, 2012 GAME store closure letters go out to customers GAME has begun sending out letters to its customers notifying them of impending store closures. The struggling high street shop is reassuring its customers that pre-orders will be transferred to alternative shops: other Gamestation or GAME stores. One Eurogamer reader sent us in the letter he received notifying him of the closure of the GAME store in Bracknell, Berkshire. The letter, dated 14th March, brings word of the store closure, set for 24th March. There's a Gamestation nearby, though, and the letter points to it. The letter is reprinted below, with permission. It should be noted that these store closures are part of already announced plans made by GAME Group to shut 35 of its shops. The chain currently has 610 outlets, which it intends to reduce to 550 by Christmas 2013. These latest closures are a part of this. Earlier this month GAME closed down its Gameplay.co.uk online store, which now redirects all customers to Gamestation.co.uk. The retailer is in the midst of some well-documented financial difficulties after it lost credit insurance. This has led to many new releases, including Mass Effect 3, not being stocked. Administration is thought to be imminent, but third parties have already expressed interest in a potential buyout. GAME told Eurogamer it will not publish a list of the 35 stores it intends to close. Instead, it will notify customers directly, as we have seen. Have you received a letter from GAME? If so, let us know at [email protected]. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-03-16-game-store-closure-letters-go-out-to-customers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 16, 2012 It will probably be the places with more than 1 store in town, like Cardiff. They got 2. One in the St Davids Centre, and one on the High street. If one closes, which one. The one in St Davids stays open til 8pm though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 16, 2012 They announced these closures in 2011. Yeah this point is kind of crucial...this decision has been in the works for quite a while even before they re-negotiated their credit agreement with banks iirc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2012 I pooped in today and bought Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. I'm aware it may be a bit of a dog's dinner, but it was only £1.98 and I'm running out of co-op games to play with my friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
