Give the guys a break. They're not based in Jersey (so actually pay their taxes) and they probably haven't got the buying power or guaranteed sales to negotiate the price on a squillion units ..

but some of them are above the RRP, how on earth have they managed to buy games at a price where they have to sell above the rrp on a "deal" ?

PC's are dead. Overclockers need to sell consoles, phones, games and Laptops if they wanna survive the next decade and beyond.

Don't be a tard, they're still the best place by far to buy decent quality hardware. Not always the very cheapest, but competitive and definitely high quality. For hardware, I wouldn't shop anywhere else - I'll just buy my games from over here --->

I never said they were not good for hardware, most of my graphics cards over last 6 yrs have come from ocuk.

Outside of us die hard PC geeks, business get there comps from Dell et al, most families now just have a laptop and most teenagers are playing consoles.

So if I owned OCUK, I would want to move into laptop, console, games and phone sales.

The consumer base has shifted a bit since 2000.

So you think most people wanna buy top end PC hardware still over laptop's and game consoles?

Well if they didn't, would amd, nvidia, ati, and intel keep making and selling top end hardware? Theres obviously enough still buying it for them to bother making it.

of course there is money in it, but you can make more money selling what people want most... consoles/laptops/phones/games etc etc etc on top of selling i7 to us geeks
 
I gotta agree with oxy tho, with the state of pc gaming and the fact most people use consoles and laptops it must be getting less interest in the high performance pc market.
OCUK has grown so fast over the past 10 years and for the last 3 or 4 years there hasn't been much worth upgrading for. Im sure this is why we see lots of high performance laptop post and this games thread before us.

That must be why successful specialist fashion boutiques are stocking 12 packs of boxers for 99p to compete with Primark.

OCUK fills a niche, my niche. Now don't spoil it.

They clearly don't want to be a niche, Hence they're trying this, they are already getting left behind some of there competitors with regards to laptops especially.

If I had a business like ocuk I would really be trying to push 3d TV sales, laptops, phones, games, consoles, ebooks and stuff. That wouldn't mean I would ditch my cpu and graphics card sections as that would be silly, all ocuk are doing is trying to compete in more areas... I wouldn't want my business to be labelled a one trick pony, especially as the competitors got on the act way before ocuk. In 10 years time can you really see enough business for PC parts only?

Do you have a source that most people are using laptops for gaming?
 
This is nothing new,OCK'ers have been selling laptops,game consoles and other media devices for years,moving into games is a natural progression I suppose and i'm sure prices will become more competitive as time goes on.
