Thats what you get for having a business run as shitty as that.
Hopefully someone buys them out.
Too many Game stores so close to eachother... The problem gets even worse when theres numerous GameStation stores in close proximety and other smaller, competing videogame stores.
The demand is there, they just need a serious shakeup.
hmmm.. hope they get saved somehow.. cause with less competition i'm afraid the UK prices are gonna be jacked up to the european ones.. i love importing games from the UK.. I easily safe 10 ~ 20 euros on new games..

GAME are one of the more expensive stores in the UK though. I can't see the multitude of online retailers that are actually responsible for lower prices deciding to bump up their prices in response when they're all still competing with each other, especially when supermarkets will probably continue with their loss leading deals.

So, whats going to happen to The Witcher 2 and other game preorders?
I'm confident the company will be bought out. As kowenicki said I too hope that whoever buys them will turn them back to a great dedicated gaming store again. GAME seemed to only want to sale pre owned games.
Tesco should buy them out, every local community deserves a gaming dedicated store.
Besides, Tesco is like one of the biggest and fastest growing business in UK over the last years, they're certainly doing business right!
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
Seems entertainment industry just can't sell on the high street anymore. The vat loop hole is being closed for Play.com and co from Jersey but it's too late to save Game and I'd presume soon HMV knowing the state they are in.
How smaller retailers and grainger games are succeeding, I'm not sure.
Hmm, pie.
Why the hell do people want a supermarket giant to buy them? They'll do even worse.
Branson should step in, and bring it all under the Virgin brand if anything.
>edit, well goes to show i know absolutely nothing about the current success of Virgin Megastores, and the Virgin brand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Megastores
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
You can easily see one of the reasons why they failed. So many stores in the same city. For example theres 2 in the Manchester Arndale Centre - really? Must have massive overheads
