Yup.

I'm cashing in and making the most of this situation. My shares are worth a poxy £200 right now. I'm just waiting for the right tome to jump. I think middle of next week...but anything can happen!

Middle of next week? Considering this news is hitting all the major papers and news sites today, I can see people cashing out at least some of that £34 million of unclaimed reward points. I doubt Game will be here by next week unless something major happens.

 

[Numpt3]

EDIT:Oh, it GS, not GAME. But still...

lol, I was just about to ask Brera what happened to his principles.

I'm in Manchester tmr, maybe I can walk right in and get Laytons for 5GBP a piece. DD

I can't spend my points, the site won't link my reward card and their phone lines to sort that out are closed!

Cash the FUCK out.

 

[BGBW]

Checked out their website and guess what hasn't updated? My points total. So apparently I have a phantom £30.

That happened to me but a phantom £5

 

[SuicidalSteve]

Hmmm working in london but can't get to oxford street at the minute...no idea if they stock Collectors Arkham City ah

 

[Brera]

Every sell is a buy though...

 

[mil6es]

do you think they will survive until Friday(when I get paid)

also what the lowest the prices will get on consoles??

 

[BGBW]

False alarm. Apparently their website is weird and despite showing me as logged in I had to log in again and my points total updated. Though I do have a mystery £1 out of nowhere.

 

[Oxx]

I might have to take on last trip to Game for old time's sake... and for more looting.

 

[PaulLFC]

There wasn't much of note left in Gamestation or Game in Liverpool, then again I have bought quite a few games already so there wasn't much I wanted. A lot of prices seemed to have gone up since last week.

There was bugger all I wanted. I have a backlog for the Wii so I wasn't too keen on getting anything for that and the DS section was full of terrible shovelware and anything remotely interesting could be found elsewhere cheaper including the HMV just down the street.

You mean like this?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Looks like it's everything but the kitchen sink time.

I welcome our new masters and overlords Gamestop, hope they dont rape us too much with their prices.

 

[JonathanEx]

Registered this.

What do I do with it now?

 

[Imperial Hot]

How do we make this happen to Gamestop?

 

[BluWacky]

Hmmm working in london but can't get to oxford street at the minute...no idea if they stock Collectors Arkham City ah

I didn't see any copies when I was in there a scant 15 minutes ago, but to be honest I wasn't looking.

Kingdoms of Amalur is still £43 though!

 

[mil6es]

so they are still sticking to their guns on the new stock prices then?

What is that?

 

[Linkified]

I love the way MCV try to put a positive spin on this could-barely-be-worse story.

There is no spin on that, if it went from 0.5p to 1.5p someone had to be demanding GMG shares simple as, if there is demand then there must be some form of interest.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

What is that?

Arkham City LE

 

[dc89]

What is that?

Is it not the Arkham City LE? It's not my pic, I just found it on Twitter again!

However, I have just been to game to spend my reward points. I got a £5 PSN voucher. And I snapped these:

WTF?! Have they not realised yet that it's pricing like that that's got them in this mess in the first place?

Is this a good game!? I mean, the packaging was beautiful and the bonus stuff inside seemed awesome. I don't even own a PSP but they had some there, white and black, preowned in really good condition for £30. I get paid in a week and a bit, I'll be there if they are still around !

Also! I overheard a conversation between two members of staff and a customer. They told the customer to keep checking the website and come back towards the back end of the week because more prices are being cut. Seems like they're going to gear up towards one hell of a weekend sale!

ah ok, I just could not see the cover at all in that pic.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

My local isn't doing any firesales at all. Quoted me +£250 for PS3 HW

 

[PaulLFC]

That reminds me, I saw a preowned version of FIFA Vita for £42.99 in Gamesation before

My local isn't doing any firesales at all. Quoted me +£250 for PS3 HW

Yeah I asked about new PS3s and was told the 160GB was £200. A bit more than the reported £99 for 320GB with Uncharted 3 offer that was on HUKD.

 

[Brera]

I bored of this shit.

Fucking go bust or boom you bastards!

 

[winstano]

My local store had the AC collectors edition on Friday, decided not to buy it as it was £50... If they have it for 20, then holy crap I'm there asap!

 

[operon]

Got to get to my local one this eveing and use up what I got on my card

 

[mil6es]

Seriously im not interested in Game's perdicament until they start panic selling stock for 35% off

You're about 5 days late.

 

[PaulLFC]

Stock is back down to 1.10 now. I assume it's a result of all the news stories about Game today.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

!

I don't think it's something they can really help. Sony seems to be pretty strict about Vita pricing, though Uncharted is cheaper elsewhere!

 

[mil6es]

yeah im not talking about used stock...

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Stock is back down to 1.10 now. I assume it's a result of all the news stories about Game today.

At the moment the share price doesn't reflect reality, it is a bunch of automated trades trying to make money from the volatility by predicting when there will be up and down movements. The real price without that extra volume would be under 1p close to 0.5p. Right now only a fool would invest when the automated vultures are trying to cash in.

 

[stalker]

Is this a good game!? ...

This is a fantastic game if you like sRPGs. A true classic, and the PSP port is good.

 

[winstano]

yeah im not talking about used stock...

They've not really got much new stock that they actually own to sell off though!

VERY VERY Good game, well worth picking up buddy.

"A Prothean. Excellent."

 

[defel]

Just checked out the local Game here in Cardiff. Plenty of good deals but nothing there I can profit from so no-buy.

 

[MarshMellow96]

Seriously contemplating popping down to the Liverpool stores to see if there's anything left. Doubt it though..

 

[Brera]

I'll never learn! Should have sold at 1.5p! Is this share likely to make it to the end of the day? The price is crashing again! I should take my £150 and call it quits. In fact, I should sell all my shares. My £1000 is worth just £760 now

 

[mil6es]

Brera seriously sell up now, there will be no rainbow at the end of this journey, just a bitter life lesson

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

WTF, there'll be nothing left by then. Are they going to start selling the furnishings or the internal organs of their employees?

 

[Brera]

Fuck man!

I can't sell up! My broker ain't issuing a live price! It's at 1.25 right now!

FUUUUUUCK! Why didn't I listen :-(

 

[BluWacky]

WTF, there'll be nothing left by then. Are they going to start selling the furnishings or the internal organs of their employees?

As I believe has been mentioned before, when Woolies went into administration they did sell the furnishings.
