Game on the Brink
#1
Looks like Game/Gamestation are about to go bust, unless a buyer can be found, and even then it'll be a hatchet job to keep the business open.

Be a shame to see it go, but Redditch could do with another couple of mobile phone shops I think.

Bargains

New PS3s for 99.99 if u can get them.

Their websites have been down and then back up this morning. Spend those reward points quick.

They've called in administrators this morning.

MCV has rumblings that they may mothball Gamestation for a new look Game;

It would be a shame as personally I prefer GS, however anything that could save at least some jobs and stores would be a positive - not sure where this stands in light of the administration announcement today mind.

The group spread themselves too thinly with the acquisition of Gamestation - there's many a high street with a GS competing against at least one Game if not multiple stores, and none of them
competing with online prices. It's a shame whichever way you cut it though.

I have heard that part of the US take over, required Game to go into admin. If true its not all doom and gloom, as a buyer would have been found.

Wal-Mart have been linked with them for a while now.

"Game" sections in your local ASDA perhaps?
