GAME group has entered administration. My local Gamestation closed its doors JUST as I was about to go in. It's depressing going past the store and seeing all of the games there, just abandoned...

Too late to be saved now, I fear. Is this a worrying trend? I certainly hope not.

I do not think so in America. Gamestop seems to be alive and kicking! Not sure about the other game stores since there are none near me other than Gamestop.

 

Too bad you were not a little earlier. When Game crazy went under over here I got so many good games for cheap from them! 80 percent off.

Now that I mention gamecrazy I must add that it was part of a failed movie store chain. So it was not just because of the games not selling.

Huh. You must know that there was very little sign of issues before GAME went under, though. 

I really hope they'll be some sort of huge clearance sale. 80% off? NICE. Buy loads of 3DS' and Vita's and sell them for a profit :/
