the GAME shop near me is appauling for pc game selection.. and accessory wise too, Nothing pointed towards the PC gamer...
like the OP said, its all about pre-owned games in there, which they are now starting to get stuck on because of the Pass code that EA have started using etc...
I must admit, in GAME stores, i have often seen silly wrong prices put up. A while back my other half wanted to buy GTA4 for her ps3.. it was £19.99 for a pre-owned copy and £15 for a brand new copy of the same game. i even went up to the desk and told them they made a mistake, and they said "no, no mistake, its priced by our database" i was like WTF???
Often ive seen silly games in there like Fifa 09 for 99p, and then you see Fifa 07 in there right behind it, a 2 year older game for like £1.99... they are soo screwed up..
GAME store around here can be quite appauling.
When Black ops was released on midnight launch, i went out for midnight to get it, i had pre-ordered it on pc a couple of months back before that, and it clearly stated on my reciept "PC".. so midnight came, i handed my pre-order reciept, just to hear "oh sorry our computers showing as no one pre-ordering it on pc here", when i know full well i did... Then with MW3, they gave me the PC game, but with Xbox 360 intel pack....
I must admit, i will be sad to see GAME go, as although the workers are a bit slow on things, i love game shops, and sometimes you can pickup a pc game cheaper in there than it is on steam or origin, which is good.. WHEN they have got that pc game there...
