Theres nothing we can do, Gamestation was for sale and Game needed to buy it to keep Gamestop from buying it. If Gamestop brought it we would be in a much worse situation, the one in Birmingham charges you £10 on top of the standard price of the game.

You have experience with the stores, an opinion and a voice, you can at least let it be heard!

 


I have, My mate is the manager at a large Gamestation and he said their is nothing anyone can do about it. It is much better to go to a shop owned by Game than Gamestop.


It must be right if your mate said so then!

I do hope you are never in a situation when you have to think for yourself and act!

 

I trust his views like I would those Niel Bohr or Charles Darwin, He probably knows more about the company than most of the people who work for Gamestation, so chances are what he says is correct because he is an expert.

I do think for myself and act on a regular basis. Don't get all high and mighty because you think I'm not correct, when I am. It's happening and thats that.

 



Around the Network

I think the recent rise in Wii game prices at GAME shops on the highstreet has got little to do with them buying Gamestation and more to do with them realising the Wii is popular and they can make more money out of Christmas shoppers

Online they are quite a bit cheaper, Take Mario Galaxy for example, £34.99 on the highstreet yet I got it for £27.99 on their website with 11% Quidco cash back and double GAME points.



CeX is awful now for the Wii.
I went in the Sheffield branch yesterday and they had a second hand Wii, which didn't have Wii Sports in priced at £250 (£249.95 or whatever)
Then i saw a copy of Wii sports priced at £25 in the game section.

I swear i am going to start buying games at ASDA, or more likely online.
I still buy at gamestation though, I bought Galaxy there for £35, which apart from £33 on Amazon, is the cheapest i have seen it.
(Galaxy in CeX by the way is £40)



I work in a smaller Gamestation in Scotland; we've always been told that although we will be owned by game, legally we will still have to remain seperate companies for everything to be legit.  That means we will still price match and price battle, there will still be Game and Gamestation exclusives and all Gamestation stores will remain Gamestations.

tbh the only real change will be stores that are within Blockbuster stores will eventually be merged into Blockbuster and some office changes at head office.

Game and Gamestation are still different companies (and as far as everyone is aware, we wil stay seperate) but all the money just goes to the same people.

I really don't think the average person will ever notice anything has changed.
