Online is very different to in-store my friend.

There is usally a markup of around 20%. Thats why 4 was interesting, because I wonder who is actually spending £££ in store?

To be fair, you'll probably get more on Ebay.

Just because you are happy to pay £35 - £40 (its actually more like £35 - £50 depending on the title) dosnt mean they are not overpriced.

Supermarkets like Asda are offering far better prices on games and so are winning business away from Game. Black Ops was £26 in Asda on launch day, EA Sports Active 2 is £40 in Asda compared to £65 on the high streets, Vanquish was £25 at launch in Asda.

Asda also discount games well before the high street. BFBC2 was £25 3 months after launch.

And yeah Asda is a massive supermarket with the power to undercut but GAME is a dedicated gaming store who shoudl be able to provide a better value service - but they dont, which is why they dont get my business anymore.

You can't say game are over priced compared to asda.
Asda sell games at a big loss because it gets you in the store

Thats not true. One of my friends is a purchasing manager for Asda and has confirmed that they do not sell games at a loss.

The amount of profit they make might be tiny or they might just sell it at cost price and make you buy X amount of groceries but it they are never sold at a loss.

And like i said GAME is a dedciated gaming retail store with over a decade of experience and supplier contacts. If they cant compete at what they specialise in then what is the point of their existence ?

you don't get shit credit if the game is new or still bought often..

The way to work out what you'll get i think(my own opinion that has seemed true) is say you go to trade in god of war 3, and they're selling it pre-owned for say £23 you'll get around £13 for it

I traded in Black Ops end of Jan, which they were selling pre-owned at the time for about £37 and got £34 in-store credit. That's more than 2 months after it's release.

I don't think GameStation is overpriced, they sell at the same prices as online retailers.

Not only do you get an extra £5 on top of your trade-in if you trade in a game on another games release day but you also get an extra few £££ off if you pre-ordered it.

So in the end I could end up walking out of the shop with a £40 game which only cost me £30 just because I pre-ordered it and traded-in a really old game that was worth nothing.

what?????????? ive bought games and tried to exchange them a week later due to completion and they say like 12 pounds exchange or 4.30 cash after me paying the FULL retail of 40 from game. cex give like 30 cash or 25 exchange for 40 pound games which is sooo much better but you have to put up with the smell of the place and the bigfazeek like employees(albeit just happened once)

yes exactly the same saying error with checking product stock and also keep getting rid of my address and telling me to amend it.

never mind its just worked keep trying!!!!!

Just done mine, ok.

Be careful of the £20 deposit which is for the Vault Club.
It adds it as a separate item in your basket.
Just remove it if you want.
They make it sound like its mandatory to have.

GAME are cheeky bastards for stuff like that!

I'm hoping it works before I go to work today... Don't fancy coming back to it being sold out or something...

its 55 in store. online is 50. prices like that are the reason i've stopped buying games and just playing my backlog.

£55 in store O.o

That's an absolute **** take. I can't believe so many people still buy games from them. I've been in there to look around, compare prices, just general browsing. It's always packed in there and people are always buying stuff.

I can understand a lot of people are very misinformed and don't bother looking anywhere else, but you can definitely save a lot of money by shopping online or even get a few games extra for the same price they are paying throughout the year.

Lol why do you think GAME keep doing deals to get exclusive editions for their stores? Only way they can get smart gamers to go into their stores.
