Game enters administration

A bit of a kick in the peripherals but no suprise really, especially when they couldn't supply games like Mass Effect 3.

I think it is a shame as it was quite nice being able to browse and pick up the latest games but i guess we will have to make do with another Help the Aged.

I wonder who will step in, the rumours of gamestop picking up some stores could be interesting, especially if they put on the promotions they do in the US. Although it could be another Best Buy.

Source or link for that information?

Also, good riddance.

They were not the best or cheapest company around but competition is a good thing and they were a big player in the market.

There are already three threads discussing this.

I know. It would be rude not to qualify a posters query though.

They entered administration weeks ago hence the big "we need money or were done for" sale. If anything has changed it will be liquidation/bankruptcy.

That mean we're going to be able to pick up cheap games?
