Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I only really know of GAME, CEX and HMV in the town centre. Are there any other shops I'm missing then? I went into GAME yesterday but there was absolutely nothing of interest there. The same crap games that were on display before, and the games that were there weren't really discounted by much. =( Game, Gamestation, CEX and HMV...with HMV downsizing and Game dying, that just leaves CEX...nowhere else will have games. The Tesco in town doesn't do any. Closest place is Asda by the train station Edited March 13, 2012 by Serebii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Closest place is Asda by the train station Oh yeah I keep forgetting Gamestation is further along from GAME haha. Asda's game selection isn't anything great, Jim and I have a look there every time we shop. None of the newest games (at least not for Wii/DS/3DS) and the prices are crap too heh.

Posted March 13, 2012 I hate places like CEX (I say "hate" but I still use them). Pre-owned games are so filthy so whole stores dedicated to them are unsettling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 13, 2012 Bought a 120gb slim PS3 from GAME today, with the move started kit, all second hand but in mint condition... for £145!! The console was £130 and move was £15. Bargain! Still, the reason behind these deals is a damn shame! I hope GAME pull through, but I don't see it happening to be honest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 14, 2012 Looks like a couple of buyers may be on the cards. Both Walmart and OpCapita are looking into snapping GAME up. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/exclusive-walmart-preparing-game-swoop/092756 http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/opcapita-tables-game-buyout-offer/092758 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OpCapita seem to be most interested from what i've read. But they own Comet, and they are heading the same way. But slower. Like flameboy mentioned, if they sell off Gamestation and it remains on the high street as well as GAME, we get the competition back. And thats what i would love to see, a return to the old days. Where you could fob one off with the others prices to get the better deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
