Default Re: Has GAME.co.uk packaging improved?

GAME's terrible packaging is primarily the main cause of me cutting down on CE collecting. Their packaging methods gradually got worse as time went on, despite the amount of complaints made by me and other customers. The amount of items I had to return due to a complete lack of common sense, when all the items needed were a little extra care and attention and to be protected on all sides. GAME had this nasty habit of shoving a large item into a corner of a box, and then filling the void with air pockets - not to protect anything, but simply to fill the space. It eventually caused me unnecessary anxiety, especially when most CE's I was buying were £100-£250 a go! Eventually I had the last straw, and I gave up buying CE's from them. I was easily spending a good £10,000 a year with them, but they lost me all because of their reluctance to use appropriate packaging.

Thanks for the update, can't believe it's over 4yrs since I posted.

Regarding MK11, I got Mags (from this forum) to send me a copy over and then later I found out I could've gotten it here from a retailer I never would've imagined would have it! Anyways it's all good and it arrived in one piece.

I've since cut back on most of my CE collecting too, just don't have the space anymore is the main reason. If a game I want comes with a steelbook, I'll get that otherwise I usually just settle for a standard copy.
