GAME big sale

[miner2049er]

GAME in the UK are on stop with some big game suppliers and are either in the process of going out of business or just desperately raising cash quickly to pay bills.

Either way, they have some great offers in store and online at the moment.

Some DS games and PSP games are £1.98 delivered. Some great titles for under a tenner as well.

Pre-owned PSP Phats are £34.99 (although they are out of stock online at the moment) That is a no brainer for a great handheld emulation device.

I just bought 3 DS games and a 3DS game for £11.42 delivered. One of the games was 48p delivered, it will cost them more than that for the stamp.

I could have used my £10 store credit but I'm saving that for Luigi's Mansion 2.

So its finally happening... I'd expected them to close shop ages ago. May get me in on some of that DS action tho!

Looks like you got lucky most of the cheap stuff is out of stock now.

Yeah it was going fast.

I've not got much sympathy for them because they do the same crappy things that Gamestop do over there, but the sad thing is they bought Gamestation and would take them down too. While Gamestation also started to go down that Gamestop road they weren't so aggressively blatant with it and you could still get some good deals.

If they went under it would mean that the main High Street retail outlets for new and used games are gone apart from Graingers which I've never seen anywhere.

ummm....assuming that nintendo give them stock of it, they've refused them The Last Story and Mario Party 9 in the last couple of weeks

also, where are you finding these things, i've had a couple of brief looks at psp and ds and there's a page of 2.99 things that are out of stock, then it just goes into the usual 7.99-9.99 crappy stuff

[miner2049er]

The real cheap stuff is pre-owned but they seem to be updating quite often with new stuff so keep checking back.

If only Gamestop in the U.S. would go out of business next my dream would come true. Welcome back mom and pop video game shops! The market is ready for ya again.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Australian Game shops. So far they're still gouging consumers, just like EBGames is. Thank god for www.ozgameshop.com in the UK!
