can someone remind me why GOTO Game?

preowned Cex is cheaper, new Asda, tesco, Amazon cheaper...

Dario_DC3469d ago

Those were my exact thoughts when I was living back in the UK... Screw Game.

You'd think they would have learned after almost going under a short while ago, the company was almost dead in 2012, but they got lucky when Nordic Games bought out a bunch of branches (55 according to wikipedia).

Their high prices are the reason why they don't really get much in the way of business nowadays.

When you can get Black Ops 3 for £42 on Amazon, why would you buy it at Game for £49.99?

£7.99 may not sound like much, but over like 5 games that means you can afford another if you buy from Amazon.
6 for the price of 5!

Who knows, haven't bought anything from Game for over ten years, useless bunch of c****.

Father__Merrin3467d ago

i got black ops 3 from morrisons for £42 worked out £37.50 with discount card. Game have it £54.99 in store

even many of thier pre owned prices are garbage, for new consoles and deals its worth it but for games and stuff id never buy anything

Maybe they should focus on the shops they have so they can fix their shitty services

Cancelled my Pipboy edition despite my card details being correct and then sending the email to my old email address even though I updated that ages ago aswell

Not fully cancelled, it's still on hold for me but they'll have to get in touch with me but I'm at work

Idiots

I'm assuming you've read this already, but it doesn't look like you are the only one.

"The recent mass cancellation of Fallout 4 Pip-Boy" OUCH! Rubbish company run by complete idiots, this isnt even the first time something like this has happened at Game, and people STILL go there?!

MrSec843469d ago

I remember when I bought my PS4 at launch, ended up having to call my local store to see if they had enough stock at launch for me to be able to get mine at launch, they were meant to call all of the people who pre-ordered them to let you know whether you'd have a system or not.

Canceling pre-orders for the biggest game of the year is completely unacceptable!

paul-p19883469d ago

People keep demanding physical over digital, without realising the reason digital is so expensive is because retailers cry to Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo about it, and therefore more Game stores can now open with overpriced products and poor customer service.

Thank you all! /s

tigertron3469d ago

So they closed a load of stores a couple of years ago because they couldn't afford to keep them open, only to open some new ones? logic fail.

KilluaX33469d ago

So you lived with your mother many years ago and then you moved out and got your own bills to pay? Logic fail.

tigertron3468d ago

One of the reasons why GAME was struggling financially was that they had too many stores for what still is a niche market.

jay23469d ago

I live in Southampton, and they're actually RE-opening, not adding a 2nd store. theres a game in Westquay, and 1 that shut down in East street.

Been doing this for quite a while where I live. Order and pay online and specify which store I want to pick up from. Allows them to order exact number of limited editions from suppliers and less issues of staff selling/keeping limited stock for friends.

ocelot07299d ago

Just can't see them being around beyond say 2026. They stopped trade ins and the sale of used games and consoles, Ended the Game Elite program, Stopping pre orders in-store. Stores closing and opening up small sections inside sports direct. They stock more toys than games these days. Way over priced compared to others.

-Foxtrot299d ago (Edited 299d ago )

I think is crazy they still score exclusiveness with collectors editions and steelbook preorder bonuses over Amazon or other retailers.

It’s the only reason I still use them to be fair.

ocelot07299d ago

Other than when they slashed pre owned games to 50% to get rid of them last month. I only shopped with them once a year and for 1 reason only.

I paid £3 a month game elite. Didn't use any features. Didjy buy anything in store. At the end of the year I got that £36 back i paid over the year plus £5 birthday credit. I thought of it as a little saver for ps+ as I would then buy ps+ or credit with the game elite credit lol.

CRASHBASHUK299d ago

yep its the same for Nottingham game there even a mini game in house of fraser in the same shoping center and even across from each other
love to see how they deal with new console pre-orders games are going more digital as we know but we still need a console to play them on
going to be fun when trying to pre order ps5 pro or the next Nintendo console

PapaBop299d ago

Good riddance, haven't been in to GAME for a good 6-8 years and with good reason. I miss Gamestation, at least I felt like I was walking into a shop for gamers.

ocelot07299d ago

I hear you. Game station was so much better. Was really annoyed when game took them over.

Grainger games where very good as well but went out of business.

purple101299d ago

yep. game station was good.

in the uk I buy physical disks but delivered online from

base.com
games365.com
shopto.net
smithstoys.com

etc.

whoever does the best price,

games365 also sells vinyl records, sometimes they have good sale prices too which is a bonus.
