Forums - Sales - Tesco not playing the game

In the U.K. the Wii hasn't properly received a price cut. Instead, you get Wii sports resort and M+ as part of the bundle. However, lots of stores are doing great deals, not least Game. (Mario strikers charged and Mario kart added to the bundle for no extra cost.) Tesco(a massive U.K. supermarket chain.), though are giving away some crap game like monopoly instead of WSR. It could be that they are still getting rid of some old stock and i've only seen this in my local Tesco but still, they should at least include a decent game whilst they clear out their old stock. I think they are relying on their type of shoppers' gaming ignorance. Well i hope their bundles fail. They pale in comparison to what other outlets are offering and i fail to see how they can be the only ones not including WSR and WM+.    

Thoughts?

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Don't buy there - buy from the better stores. Also spread word of mouth as you're doing ;)



I think they are using it as a way to clear out some of their cheap shovelware they can't get shot of but i feel they should go about it a better way. They should at least be selling the "official" WSR bundle. Maybe Nintendo didn't get the word out of the bundle well enough and they are taking advantage of that?

Tesco is a supermarket. GAME is a game store.

You can't expect Tesco's bundles or value to be as good.

Tesco have more sense than GAME it seems. Some people will thin kthey are getting one extra game with the GAME and TESCO bundles and so won't care where they buy it. Therefore TESCO charges the same prices for a worse game and makes more profit!

Still, though, Tesco should be selling the official bundle with WSR.

My local Tesco did thee same thing to get rid of games that just would not sell by themselves. Now that they have got rid of them they're selling the proper WSR bundle.



 

 

Tesco doesnt really understand games. Its a box shifter.

That can occasionally play to your advantage with poor pricing in your favour.

In Tesco I have picked up Star Wars Force Unleashed for 10 GBP and Midnight Club LA for 10 GBP.

When they dump old stock they really dump it.

Ultimately you dont have to shop there.
