You need to come to London

I saw the one in the Trafford Center when I was doing my Christmas shopping. Didn't get to try it though as it had a group of people using it. The setup looked good though ..

What have you got against Londoners?

kiteloopy · 12 Jan 2016 at 13:48

Keeping an eye on this!

ColdAsIce · 12 Jan 2016 at 13:49

What's the retail price of the rig you have for display purposes?

Kerplunk · 12 Jan 2016 at 13:49

Oh awesome, there is one down the road from me, hopefully I get time to pop in!

How long are they about for?

Where would you even begin to answer a question like that

CrispyOtter · 12 Jan 2016 at 13:50

Will check out the Glasgow Braehead one on my way home and report back

Planning on doing a bit of the old sneaky snatchy?

Bournemouth or Portsmouth. Why u no like Southampton.

A stand like that would double Games PC gaming section

More curious if they have gone OTT to really show off the PC visuals or actually encouraging PC gaming as a platform by using a very affordable build that can probably still blow away the PS4 and Xbox ONE.

I suppose it is a reasonable way to try and keep PC gaming relevant to the console generation. Good luck with it.

Game went into administration a few years back - the last I heard was that they were in financial difficulties once again last year.

I like visiting Cardiff at weekends so I'll try and pop along

i5aces · 12 Jan 2016 at 13:56

I had a good look round the one in Basingstoke.
The system looked good and there was plenty of keyboards and mice on display, there was quite a lot of store space dedicated to it. I even bought a keyboard.
The Overclockers logo was prominent; as soon as I walked in I saw it.

quite shocking you dont have one in any of the london stores!

I don't go into Game stores, given the digital digital delivery of games is ever increasing, Game issuing profits warnings it seem a strange time to stake your presence in their stores.

I can't see that Game would allow you into their stores for free, the over heads they incur must be a huge so I imagine they charge.

All seems a bit odd to me.

fiveub · 12 Jan 2016 at 14:00

For those mentioning London. - These are only the first 10 stores.
