Yeah I don't get why everyone is up in arms now. They used to fuck customers over a barrel. They'd fuck them with new game prices, they'd fuck them at trade-in, they'd fuck them with second hand prices. It was rare indeed I'd buy in GAME and it became rarer with the realisation that the same game could be purchased on line for substantially less.
I think if they'd cut their stores down, hedged their bets with a proper online web store (not offering the same shitty deals as their shops), and a proper digital download service they might have been in a better place.
As it is they're just one more failed business. I'm more sorry to see Woolworths go which seemed to try a lot harder on price but was screwed by their own supply chain (as was Zavvi).
