Default Re: Convincing retailers to price match via Twitter
I sent GAME an eMail via their website about price matching the Duke Nukem Forever Balls Of Steel Edition and Deus Ex: Human Revolution CE with ShopTo.net, but I received an eMail back informing me that GAME do not price match with online competitors, and only price match with WHSmiths and HMV within a certain range (Ie, the same town)

I'm pretty disgusted with their reply to be honest, when you consider that the difference for these two CE's between GAME and ShopTo is £25 in total! It's not as if i'm making a fuss about a quid here or a quid there - This is some serious difference, and they shouldn't be allowed to sell an identical item for considerably more, especially considering the prices are there on public display for all to see!

And they wonder why they're losing so much business to ShopTo? I am sure ShopTo will sell out of these first, and only then will people turn to GAME to obtain these editions. Anyone with any sense will clearly pre-order at ShopTo
