bryanee Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Game and Gamestation are both having a huge sale by the looks of things. Games like Killzone 2 are going for 50p second hand, but sold out right now. Try instore if interested. Just bought a pre-owned Dead or Alive 4 at 44p and £2.54 points that I had, not bad. A game I've wanted to rebuy for awhile for 44p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Il be sad to see this happen of I'm honest, but we all saw this coming surely? Does game own gamestation and blockbuster? I know people who work in most stores and really feel for them at the moment. It's a shame that so many people could lose jobs over this but it is what happens when you starve a market of completion. Then CEX and grainier games popped up and people were glad of a change, I hope game can make it through this and learn from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 @Kaytee @Dyson @Daniel What did you even expect? You're working for GAME. How long have you all even worked there? Is it not long enough to realise how shit they are? I'm amazed you aren't all more upset at the company for doing this. You're representatives of that shitty parent company, and thus suffer the wrath of the customers for being it. It's all part and parcel of the job.

Ike Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Does game own gamestation and blockbuster? I know people who work in most stores and really feel for them at the moment. They do own Gamestation, they are having the same issues so once GAME goes, Gamestation will as well. No idea about Blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanee Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 My dad popped into bham Game and said most of the 360 pre-owned stuff was gone. I know they have OOT 3D for £15, Bulletstorm for £3, Gears 2 for £2, Gears 3 for £12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, we priced up a huge sale on pre-owned today. Anything that was 12.99 is now 7.98, 7.99 is 4.98 and 4.99 is 1.98/2.98. Mint titles are going in to the sale tomorrow (not that any stores have those, lolol) Also got a slap on the wrist for my social networking ranting antics at work. Or rather, I posted the post above in my blog, and allegedly the higher ups are checking social networking sites to ensure shit isn't being thrown around.

CoolFunkMan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sales you say? Might take advantage of that, if I get time. It's still incredibly sad though. Whilst we're on the subject, I went to pre-order Resident Evil: Opperation Raccoon City from ShopTo, just incase GAME didn't get stock. I was originally planning to keep both pre-orders, then decide which one to choose at the last minute... but then I accidentally paid for it upfront! >.< I had to cancel my GAME pre-order after that.

flameboy Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I order some things online when the cheap sale went live so to speak including Advance Wars which got cancelled. I got emails of GAME saying all the rest have been cancelled, no explanation nothing, exact same reason I stopped using them when they started cancelling my preorders for no apparent reason. All these sales just seems to be another step towards the stores closing down. Edited March 9, 2012 by flameboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iun Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Pre owned is so... Sticky. I was always glad when working there that we didn't do cash for old games. Then about six months before I left, they started with the cash - ID plus address required. Society's Dregs: "I want to exchange this bag of definitely not stolen games for cash." Me: "Certainly sir, and may I comment on how beer-like your cologne is today, kudos! Now, your ID and proof of address... Let's see, an expired drivers licence and a letter from a methadone clinic asking why you missed your last appointment... *sigh* here's your money, the dealers are in the alley on your left as you leave the shop."
