Gaben approves this

Oh wow! I was in Game in Basingstoke today and I took a look, I was quite shocked but I never seen any reference of OCUK (it wasn't noticeable)!

I did think to myself, wow, Gtx 980 (or it was a 970) in Game!

Can you give any details on when you'll be coming to the Gateshead Metrocentre store? Currently working for another game retailer but would abandon ship to GAME if I had the chance to be a hypeman for OcUK products!

all's I get from the console lads at work is how the hell you play with a mouse and keyboard??? they just don't get it.

Plugging in a gamepad in a spare USB port works for me everytime

Yeah I'm 10 minutes away from the Teesside branch, I might pop in over next weekend and see the kids in awe.

Personally i cant stand game and i cant see this working out but you never know

Seem to be working well, several PC gaming systems sold over the weekend including the flagship systems.

As I originally stated OcUK will not be changing and there will be no change felt or seen, we are simply expanding to continue the growth we have experienced since our merge with Caseking.

Do I still get haribo when I order from GAME. If not, what's the point

Haribo still gets placed in orders ??

Nope.

The point is clear, we've extended our reach in the UK market.

Seems odd. I don't know of any PC gamers who purchase anything from GAME due to them being poorly stocked and overpriced.

I think it's a positive move and I wish OC well. The pc market doesn't grow by preaching to the converted.

It might take a while to realise the sales but having exposure to pc games (not just ports) and top quality versions of console games will attract gamers.

From the success of the first 2 stores, we will be rolling out interactive displays to a further 8 stores!

Hey Gibbo, do you have plans to come to Chelmsford any time soon?

Why? There the last big gaming store here in the UK. If they go it'll be much harder to buy consoles. I know you can buy online and so other retail shops, but not a dedicated gaming shop like GAME is.

5960xNvidiaGamer · 6 Jan 2016 at 13:46

Awful stores.I don't touch consoles I am a gamer and over age 10.

rIcK · 6 Jan 2016 at 13:47

Do Game even sell PC games anymore?

kieran_read · 6 Jan 2016 at 13:49

How are you not in London yet? Or have just been an idiot and missed it?

I'm playing on an 8 year old PoS PC, yet I refuse to upgrade until AMD Zen... let me see what i'm missing out and you may twist my arm!
