So you pay money to earn extra points on your over priced purchases to spend back at game on the over priced games. Genius.

Gotta feel sorry for the staff trying to sell this one. Might go in over the weekend for some fun.

A last ditch effort to stay afloat, GAME just can't compete anymore.

StriderX · 19 May 2017 at 13:01

Gamestop cant compete either and that's a much bigger company.

What happened to the OcUK booths? They still a thang?

Don't think so, would've thought PC World would be a better choice.

I don't understand any of the OP but am endorsing this sentence.

Don't know why anyone still buys anything from Game. So overpriced.

Nasher · 19 May 2017 at 13:12

Doesn't everyone just get their games near enough half price from key seller sites these days?

Who thinks of these terrible ideas?

I've already bought 5.

Maybe some day Game will indulge in payment protection insurance and try and sell insurance for your insurance, then a few years later get fined into bankruptcy.

I've found supermarkets have better deals than game now. I walk into one, have a look around say 'wow that's expensive' then walk out.

It's OK GAME, I'll shop elsewhere and save myself 20%+ without having to pay you the privilege.

They are good for the occasional steam hardware sale, and for steam wallet cards, which they sell at the face value (same as everyone else) but I believe you can collect/spend points on them.

Other than that I agree

Only time I used GAME recently was when I had a bunch of old Xbox 360 games that failed to sell at a bootsale or on Facebook marketplace.

I used their price match guarantee against CEX and ended up with at least £1 per game (or more), and traded them in. I then used the credit towards a Switch Pro controller.

One word. Why.

It is just an effort to get people to go there, places like Amazon are undercutting them by miles.

Great! In a time where digital games are on the rise and PSN/Xbox Store game sales are actually good.
