No wonder GAME went bust

Last thing I purchased from them was a World of warcraft keyboard on sale for ?30, usually sold for around ?50 in most places so thats all they are good for.

I honestly dont understand why they are still trying to force retails outlets, infact they just closed 2/3 stores they had in my city so buying hmv seems like a backwards step.

I guess they have some fantastic deals if you are smart and sign up for email price drops, I still kick myself for missing out on new copies of Wrath of the lich king collectors edition for like ?14 new

One thing that GAME and HMV have in common is that they are either too lazy or too arrogant to check other people's prices and amend those prices in order to remain competetive.

I'm not saying that there's no bargains to be had - I've found plenty - but I'm not your average punter.

GAME used prices really need sorting out because, in my locality, both CEX and Grainger Games beat them hands down. And their Wii U instore prices at launch were absolutely ludicrous.

CEX, for instance, had a great Christmas retail because they actually reduced a lot of their used prices and both the stores in my area had their stocks wiped out. Of course, they have the advantage of people being able to trade in all their old technology, DVDs etc.

Maybe that's a business strategy that GAME and HMV (if they survive) should have a look at. Things are changing on the high street and they need to change with it.
