Why stores are not using the same prices for games.

Resident Evil is at £29.95 including circle pud at ZAvvi.

 

Teh others are selling the game at £32.99-34.99 withoud circlepad which will cost £14.99 more.

 

GAME stores have even different prices from store to store of the same chain and their sales or 3*2 offer are never real, the put the price up of £2/£4 the night before anuncing the price cut or the offer. They are the worste but people still buying from them.

£29.99?

curses.......... i paid £37.99, and i checked GAME, Gamestation (sister companies, but sometimes do different deals, and HMV) they were all the same price grrrrrrrrr.



Zavvi is an internet retailer so it would typically be cheaper than in stores. However it does still tend to vary between internet retailers as well (comparing against The Hut, Amazon).

GAME tends to differ store to store as they match other local game retailers minus supermarkets. One I used to go to that matched the Grangier Games store opposite to it, but not HMV about 100 metres away. Similarly, a GAME store somewhere else in the city wouldn't have even matched the other GAME store.



£37.99.......... and not a damn circle pad pro offer in sight, just the game........ DOUBLE grrrrrrrrrrrrr.



Zavvi imports them from somewhere. Not sure how it works but they avoid some taxes and shit, they can afford to sell it a lot cheaper.
