My brother is considering starting up a pc/console game shop. He's at the planning stage just now, getting ideas etc.. but is struggling to find any really helpful info regarding game distributors in the UK. Can anyone shed some light on any of the companies that distribute games to retailers in the UK ?
Game distributors in the UK ?
- Thread starter stu.artd
- Start date
As I said before, he's at the research stage and will be making a decision sometime in the next few months. The nearest game stores are at least a 30 minute drive away.
I personally feel it's a big risk due to the amount of competition from web based retailers (I buy practically all my games online) but if he decides to give it a go after weighing everything up I'll do all I can to help.
Thanks for the mcv tip bungler, I'll pass that on.

This is a thread created to get advice regarding UK distributors or wholesalers. Don't post unless you have relevant information regarding the above.
I'm not looking for advice regarding any business decision that my brother's going to make and he's not interested in comic books. I have no desire to get into it here as it's not the point of this thread, but believe me when I say that there is nowhere within 30 minutes drive where you can buy PC or XBox 360 games, and the availablility of other format games is appallingly poor as well.
Could a friendly mod please clean this up and delete all the non topic posts above, that's everything following my post at 21:22. I'd appreciate it if they could catch the one below as well, some people appear to be completely unable to keep on topic.
