Classic stuff I knew there must be someone did your preorder with gamestation? And to Moria and Shadow you better watch out when smash brothers comes out online I wont forget this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Nah, no gamestation, Dutch supplies are really, really low. I'm quite lucky I live in the middle of total nowhere and there's a total demand of 5 Wiis in my neighbourhood. Otherwise it would've been no Wii at all for quite a while.

Gentleben Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Even the £6 worth of rewards points GAME are offering with their so called "Bundles" doesn't make up for the price difference between GAME and Gamestation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 That's bullshit. Not the lies kinda bullshit, just literal shit from a bull. Well they should price their bundles more competitively. Usually Game are pretty good for launch bundles, so what on Earth has happened? They know they have the largest share of stock (hardware and otherwise) and while people may go to Gamestation to buy their bundles, they wont have the stock. Same reason our DS bundles are so poor at the moment. In other words, they got cocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Haden, I might come on MSN and talk to you about my Wii at midnight on Friday.... Not. Lol, i remembered Borat when I read that. I'm pissed at these deals Gamestation are having, but when I get my wii and start playing it i wont care about the money thats just left my wallet.

Gentleben Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Well I'm not standing for it. I've just written a snotty sounding email to GAME customer service. GAME will more than likely treat me as if I was a fly to be swotted but at least it makes me feel slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazzahdrane Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 They know they have the largest share of stock (hardware and otherwise) and while people may go to Gamestation to buy their bundles, they wont have the stock. See, this is the thing. While I don't doubt GAME has far more stock in total than Gamestation - it seems like they are having a hard time figuring out where it should all go. I've heard the GAME in my town isn't getting a huge number of machines, whereas we expect to have 160+ by next Tuesday. I just feel bad for the people buying the bundles at GAME and thinking they're getting good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonmike04 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hmm I havent gotten a phone call from GAME, but I did get one of those letters saying i'l have a Wii at launch. Not sure what to think =S theres no way I could miss out when I was number 4.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iun Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 GAME were useless with getting my pack to me, I didn't get confirmation until I called Customer Services the other day. Threw what little weight I have left around and got apologies and vouchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Arnt Game meant to be working closely with Nintendo on this like they did with the DSlite launch? Because on the lite launch we had the bundle DS + 1 game for £109.99. Saving £20. You would at least think GAME would match Gamestations deals! Im not beliving those deals untill I see some it up on their website, get an email or see some posters instore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubahood Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 No a mixture of play.com and game using voucher codes On another note not impressed with this banning of creating new threads its launch week for christ sake this comes around once every four years the mods need to lighten up a bit. The threads that have been popping up yes are repeats but good discussion has been happening inside. I can also imagine we will be getting lots of new people here this weekend a forum where they can't make topics of discussion isn't going to be very appealing to them.

Cube Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Game's 'Deals' They're pretty bad. Problem with this company, if they know the stock is limited they don't bother. Anyway; Wii + Sports is standard (obviously) then you can add these on top; +Wii Play + Any Game = £255 + Any 2 Games = £260 + Rayman + Super Monkey Ball + Monster 4x4 (or whatever its called) = £290 + Play + Zelda + SMB + Red Steel + Monster 4x4 = £355 What's the deals for if you trade in your GameCube with one of those bundles? I know its 15%, but: - Will they allow you to buy a bundle (with £27 off - 15% of the £180) - Will the 15% include the full cost of the bundle?

Nintenchris Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Does anyone know how much you'll get trading in a GameCube boxed with the original controller into GameStation?
