clearing out brand new stock, as 'preowned' because they dont have to pay the maunfacturers, or some loophole like that and they have no funds to buy new games so essentially, use any credit you have with them or gamestation ASAP.
lol X)
so you are saying they are selling : brand new ps3 slims for £130,brand new wiis for £40 ,brand new slim 360s for £130?
you must be mad.
this wouldnt happen even microsoft,sony and nintendo were all the sudden simultaneously out of business,let alone a certain retailer.
Got a link to the Play.com deal? All I can see is used ones.
This gens reliability is dire both 360 & PS3 have issues. Spend a little more & get peace of mind.
Not sure which will last longer pre-owned warranties or GAME ?
had a japanese region fat ps3 since a month after original release and not had a single problem with it :)
it may sound like conspiracy theory but maybe sony made the best/most reliable hardware for their home market?
but yeah do worry if the GAMEgroup go bust then the warranty means nothing.
They dont test any of their consoles at all, and most are the remnants of some chav who needed the money for some weed. I've had nothing but trouble with their pre owned consoles in the past, and in the present, a couple of my mates are on their 5th and 6th returns respectively within a 5 month period. Various problems from overheating, to hdd failures, to disc drive errors.
On top of this, you have to remember, once they go out of business in a few months time (the very reason for this sale), should anything go wrong, and trust me it will, you will be left with a lovely expensive plastic brick.
Game wouldn't accept my DS Lite as it had a stuck pixel, and it's very hard to spot so they certainly do run some checks. Probably depends on are the staff
By the way, hot deal. Would love a cheap PSP
Oh sorry, no I mean it's clearly obvious they are closing down and your comment made it sound like they wouldn't be and it was an assumption. Got wrong end of the stick. I firmly believe the dude you quoted is talking out of his bottom in terms of the "loophole" bs at least.
It is not obvious they are closing at all - they certainly have troubles and need to get some pounds in quick - but many companies survive such times - HMV included who loads of people said would still not be here today! With new console launches to come in next year I would be amazed in Game were not still going - in one form or another!!
I quite fancy a new 360 Slim and also have a £20 gift card to use up.
Many thanks.
Or just instore?
250GB SLIM: £129.99 tescos will sell it for £20 more with an extra 2 years warranty. only a mug would buy this with all the faults that xbox has. £69.99 play will sell u a brand new white xbox. same chip, same games new machine.......................................can't find a 360 slim for £150 at tesco

It's possible that the console manufacturers retain control of their 'new-price' so not to devalue it. Game may have stock that they need to off-load and can't advertise it as new with a silly low-price. Price regulation is common(ish) isn't it?
Don't know if that's what it is here but not as daft as it sounds.
link please?
i only want to hack it for my 6yr old kid
there after a manager at this store lol
