Gamestation is just as shit except everyone in it is desparately trying to be cool and knowledgeable about videogames except when it stocked retro games then it was cool
I used to get loads of game boy advance classics and stuff from Gamestation for £3-4 each aswell as some good PC games, then GAME bought them out and they started stocking about 2 new PC games a month and every console game going just like GAME (Should mention that there's a shopping center near me where the GAME and Gamestation are literally 8 seconds away from each other, so they had the exact same store with a different name right next to each other)
[QUOTE=Lionlive;35111731]Since GAME converted my Gamestation in to a GAME, I've bought hardly anything from there. Gamestation is a vastly superior shop, despite being owned by the same company.[/QUOTE] Our Gamestation used to stock N64, Dreamcast, Megadrive and PS1 games alongside the new stuff. Game bought it, and suddenly it's nothing but Wii and DS titles wall to wall. Game can burn, I just hope the staff find new jobs.
[QUOTE=Crimor;35105681]Would you rather have cheaper brick and mortar pre orders, or get your games on tuesdays like america.[/QUOTE] I would rather wait the extra time than pay an extra 30€.
People thinking of buying shares, why? Say you spend £1 on 100 shares - even if the share price raises by 100%, you'd get a return of £99. And I rather doubt that's likely to happen any time soon. It's the same as all share-brokering, you need a shit-load of money to invest in the first place to make any sensible return, because of the tiny profit margins - and even then over many years. Whichever version of sods law it is that deals with 'if you've thought of it, someone else already has already done it' is all you need to avoid doing it. In that if this was such a good opportunity in any sense, loads of people will have already attempted it - consequently bringing the share price up (which hasn't happened).
How do I buy shares? :v:
Might be worth grabbing like £10 worth in case they get bought out by GameStop and the price sky rockets back up. Or would the shares just disappear into GameStop? I don't know shit :(

Other than the possible economic backlash, I'd like to see their company collapse.
What's their name on the market?
I managed to go down to game yesterday and grab myself an 80GB PS3 setup for £99, shit's mad
Well fuck, there goes what little remained of the uk job market.
I'm wondering, would GAME have more assets than the total value of their stock? If so, you buy all of their assets, then sell everything, and you end up with more money than they started
