UK retailer Game closing many of its stores
Quote:With all the layoffs and financial hits game publishers and developers have absorbed over the past year, it should come as no surprise that the retail branch of the industry is hurting too. In a statement to Edge today, UK retailer Game said it would close 12 of its stores, six Gamestations and all 25 of its outlets in the Debenhams chain of department stores.

Though Game qualified it as a small percentage of its 682 stores, it still translates to 247 lost jobs. Here's hoping that those affected will land on their feet.

Wait, Game owns Gamestation? What's the logic in that?

Prices aren't really that different. I suppose gamestation is mildly cheaper, but we're talking £5 or less.
Buying on the internet is far cheaper than both innocent

There's 2 Game's and 1 Gamestation in town, same for most cities apparently..
Game is always empty whenever i pass, Grainger Games is better than both anyway usually.
