GAME not stocking ME3
|
Game are in massive trouble, and have been refusing preorders for loads of upcoming stuff and apparently have been asked to pay cash up front for stock - Yet another company that cant compete with the the online alternative. I think as soon as we had places like tesco start doing game trade ins and encroaching onto their turf the writing was on the wall

Brick and mortar videogame stores usually make money only on the second hand games market nowadays, and a little on the pre-order launch titles, but not nearly as much as from the secondhand market (so much even that some game stores actively push for selling secondhand games). That in itself again is a problem for the game publishers and software houses, but that is another story all together. It sucks for those that had pre-ordered the Collectors edition the most, I'm guessing that is where you had yours on pre-order Nap? Any other stores where you can still order the collectors edition?

In portsmouth there are two game stores in the high street.
I always wondered how any street could sustain that. Obviously it cant. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.  RE: GAME not stocking ME3

Any other stores where you can still order the collectors edition? Yeah I can't tell you how fucking pissed I am. The good thing though is that it doesn't look like they were going to charge me £70 until the game was dispatched. So by the looks of it I ain't losing any money. I haven't actually had a look for another edition because I wasn't sure whether this was for real or not and I've had a lot to do lately. Probably going to look around later tonight, if I can't find a collectors edition somewhere else, I may as well just slit my wrists.

I didn't actually realise GAME was going through such a crisis until I heard about this, if I'd of known before hand I definitely wouldn't of ordered with them.

Amazon.co.uk, Play.com, Zavvi.com, ShopTo.net and Gamestop will now all carry the Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector’s Edition, which contains bonus in-game content, a fabric patch, tin-case, comic and loads more.

The thing is if they aren't stocking it, and they know they aren't, why the fuck are they still holding my order.

I'd probably advise you to spend the fiver quickly before they go down the swanny I pre-ordered online. Also I'd be grateful if someone knew if the collector's edition will continue to be made after release. So for instance if I could get it in a few months time. |
