    Keep your filthy Cex parties to yourself, you degenerate.

  I thought they went bankrupt 10 years ago. Certainly haven’t seen one in a long time.

    They’re inside Sports Directs, my local one has a GAME shop at the back of the store now

      Not really a great place for them to be. I never go into Sports Direct because they’re dodgy as hell (seriously if you’ve been shopping there make sure you don’t have unexpected charges on your account because they love to add things they don’t tell you about). So I’d never know that Game was in there.

      To be on this Game is basically being irrelevant for years now. They have terrible customer service, they cannot order stuff in so you just have to go in and find out if they have something which is a waste of time, they never have any deals that are any better than you can get in any other businesses, they never do any events to make themselves relevant.

      There are brick and mortar store in the world where everyone does digital downloads. They could make that work but they’d have to add something extra to the experience, and they just don’t.

  They need to make shelf space for more toys

    That’s where the money is. Games and consoles don’t make them enough. Especially when you can get it elsewhere for cheaper.

  I’m surprised Game has lasted as long as it has. Do people really buy games as a physical transaction when they are downloaded and activated by a code? As for hardware better prices can be found online as well.

    I usually buy COD in tescos - always cheaper than a download on PS4

      I also usually buy cod in Tesco. But probably not in quite the same way.
