Ah man i forgot to spend my points

i've never minded paying for postage anyway - in fact i'd normally pay more for a better service via a courier etc as i prefer them to deliver it anyway

Ouch that's a 40%+ increase, This sucks, sending out games will be even more expensive.

update:

GAME customer service has once again confirmed that the site is expected to come back online in a few days, with what features no one knows.

GAME has also confirmed that stock at the closed stores will be reallocated to stores that are still operating, however there are conflicting reports from GAME mangers that have been told they should sell off a much stock as possible to raise funds. Some have also reportedly been told they will get a £500 bonus for doing so. Not sure what will happen but I'm inclined to go with a bit of both.

Lastly , again no refunds are taking place nor are the reward or gift cards use usable.

Game to end administration with RBS buyout!

Both the stores in the Arndale Centre in Manchester have closed, which is a suprise as I would have thought they would have tried to keep at least one city centre store going. It's a real shame as I had friends in that store, and I did an Assassins creed Cosplay appearence in there. I will miss it.

If this is true, Gamestop share price will fall as a serious screw up on their part.

Either way this is good news, I presume it will be a different entity though.

At least if it's true we won't lose GAME completely, just hope that they bounce back and become a decent store again xx
