Update: GAME Retail boss Martyn Gibbs has spoken about the rebranding decision. There will be a new loyalty scheme; Gamestation's trade-in price-match will remain; there will be Wi-Fi in all shops; a GAME app; a better PC download service; and a new store feature called GAME Hunter.

GAME Hunter will let shoppers browse and order - for delivery to any UK address - any game from GAME's entire range, presumably via a computer in store. These can be old and new games and either physical or digital.

Said he, speaking with MCV: "The new GAME will combine the best of both brands. For example, the Gamestation trade-in proposition, 'We Won't Be Beaten On Trade-In', continues under the new unified brand and likewise the passionate and knowledgeable gamestation store teams stay with us and continue to provide outstanding support and advice for all gamers.

"Our aim is to hold the UK's biggest range of games, gaming gear and exclusive content whilst also ensuring that we are constantly evolving, listening to our customers and adapting our approach to really deliver for them. The above initiatives are only a snapshot of a whole host of exciting plans in the pipeline: new titles, formats, partnerships, digital initiatives. We forward to sharing them with our customers as soon as we can."

Original story: All Gamestation shops are to be rebranded as GAME shops, GAME Retail announced during a private meeting today, MCV reported.

Eurogamer contacted GAME about the report, but were told the chain could not yet comment.

Gamestation and GAME were once rivals, until GAME acquired the more hip and core gamer-facing chain of shops in 2007.

Gamestation shops make up 122 of GAME Group's 341 stores. The shop names may be different, but the two brands have long touted the same game prices among other things.

What will become of gamestation.co.uk is as yet unclear.

Previous GAME and Gamestation owner GAME Group PLC collapsed earlier this year, only to be reborn as Game Retail Ltd.

well that's probably comet/ currys financial decision as game almost went bust remember and they ended up with new management / owners
it did seem silly having 2 stores under different names trading close too each other
but here's the technical as too why they where doing it
many councils and regions within the UK have a limit to one store per chain per post code
some are more strict some are less strict
some have a distance rule so say no more then one store per 5 miles
and although game and game station are owned by the same parent company they trade under desperate rules which means they can bypass these limits and win more custom as having 2 shops trading even under desperate names is better then only having one

now the reason why they are finally merging
although they are owned by the same parent company they are run as 2 desperate companies the board of directors may be the same or even share members but everything below that is essentially duplicated so if they merge they can essentially half the number of employees from a management perspective although they will not lay off half of there star as that a ready happened last april, it means they will be merging offices and paying alot less overheads and it seems that with the new management structure and administrators they have from a higher management level they must see this as a bonus for the business in the long term

Ok well in my quest of every pre-order DLC card, I've found these ones so far :











So I'm still looking for a card for the Aston Martin and Nissan 370Z.

As much as I've loved all the previous Forza games, I have to admit to being a bit underwhelmed by the Horizon LCE. Most of my local stores are selling the vanilla version for ?38 as opposed to the ?60 I paid for this. I don't think ?22 for a steelbook and a bunch of DLC is particularly good value for money.

For the same cost in Forza 4 you got a nicer steelbook plus an excellent artbook and in Forza 3 there was a nice presentation box with a branded keyring and memory stick.

The final insult was no manual . . .so the game better be fuckin' good . . .
