Convincing retailers to price match via Twitter

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Hey guys. I require some support from you lot in regards to contacting various retailers via Twitter and trying to convince them to price match specific CE's which are significantly cheaper on other retailer websites

At the moment I am trying to get GAME (http://twitter.com/Gamedigital) to price match two items with ShopTo.net (http://twitter.com/Shoptonet) who are considerably cheaper:


Firstly, the Duke Nukem Forever: Balls Of Steel Edition for PS3 & X360

GAME's price is £74.99 for these two (Where the X360 version seems to be sold out already on pre-orders), and £59.99 for the PC version

GAME X360 - http://www.game.co.uk//Xbox360/Shoot...Steel-Edition/

GAME PC - http://www.game.co.uk/Games/PC-Games.../?s=duke+nukem


Whereas ShopTo.net are offering this edition for only £64.85 for the PS3 and X360 versions, and only £48.85 for the PC version:

In addition, HMV are selling the console versions for only £64.99, which is a whole £10 cheaper than GAME!

Secondly, the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Collector's Edition for the PS3 and X360

GAME are offering the PS3 and X360 versions for £99.99, and the PC version for £89.99

GAME PC - http://www.game.co.uk/PC-Games-and-D...809/?s=deus+ex


Whereas ShopTo are offering the PS3 and X360 versions for only £84.85, and the PC version for £74.86!

SHOPTO PC - http://www.shopto.net/PC/VIDEO%20GAM...20Edition.html



Now I would like to ask anyone here who has a Twitter account whether they are able to support me and give me some back-up in order to try and get GAME to price match with ShopTo and other retailers!

Between these two games alone, if bought from ShopTo.net, that's a saving of over £25! That's almost a whole other game! Yet GAME will not likely budge on their prices unless they receive significant public call to do so, which is where you guys come in!


PS. If you would like to follow me on Twitter, then drop me a PM and i'll give you my Twitter username
