Even if you're annoyed at GAME, please be polite to any staff you deal with. This must be pretty scary times for anyone employed there.


100% this. Well said.


Indeed it's not the shop staff that have caused this problem. They are just people trying to earn a living many of which fear they will lose their jobs soon since shops are closing all the time and many have huge debt problems.I know a couple of people who have been layed off by GAME in the last year.

Says for me that the PC, Xbox and PS3 CE are on Amazon.co.uk

Can you post links to them then as nothing is showing for me.


http://www.amazon.co...30523676&sr=1-5 For Xbox 360, the others should be accessable

Thanks.

how could they have any foresight in this?

if i planned on selling and received my copies of the game that i ordered for my customers after i paid ea  for the order that they shipped me.. that ends there exclusive are what you say money to ea but the thing is once you paid for the exclusive there nothing EA can do about a seller that goes belly up.


Indeed, maybe im being a bit harsh.  I mean four other retailers now are stocking it in next to no time, so its clear that they made alternative arrangements quickly.

Still this is a fustration I didnt want to have a week before release.



As for that email above.  Great their are telling you if you ask.  However my order is still listed as pending and my email box empty.  If it wasnt for this thread, I would still be thinking my order was on its way as planned. 

yesh it does suck to loose a order this close to release, i was thinking of branching out my store to like 3 places that do not have gamestop or a wall mart that's like not 45 miles away from other cities my business has been okay and steady but even in this economy there are things that can happen see the game problem, with debtors they run the risk of trying to come up ahead with overhead cost cutting{ i.e} rent,utilities pay the employees business taxes and what not etc.. if game been having problems meeting there commitments then you can see that the issue be came lot more then they could have forecast.

Wow, thanks for posting this OP. I'd have had a nasty shock with my GAME pre-order otherwise. Still can't see it on Amazon, so I've gone ahead and pre-ordered from Play. Thanks again. x

Agreed. In this day and age it's not pleasant to feel like your job's days are numbered.

Yep. As much as I'm annoyed at the company right now I actually feel bad for the staff. Bad times and I do hope the chain stays afloat for their sakes.

Does this only concern the UK based Game stores, or world wide?


its GAME UK, I doubt it affects there operations outside of the UK.


Thank goodness for me! I feel sorry for those in UK, though. 


Same here.

I have to agree with the comment that people who pre-ordered the CE but now cannot get one should still be given the collector’s edition DLC providing they can prove it was pre-ordered from GAME.

That my two cents(0.012p for us Brits)


This. So much this.


Agreed. Just because you are getting screwed out of your pre-order, doesn't mean you should get screwed out of the DLC. Hopefully, EA/BioWare considers that course of action. Failing that, From Ashes should be free for thouse unfortunate souls.

For now CE "crysis " only hitted Poland and UK...
I think France is safe ;P


Vive la France?:?


I don't think so, I've heard it's a company-wide "crisis", so it should affect all Game retailers, I'm heading to my Game retailer in a few hours to clarify this anyway.


Seems I will have to make sure then, but it would be nice if someone could give us a clear answer on the matter.

Look:

"ORIGINAL STORY: GAME Group will not be stocking any EA
games past SSX in March, including Mass Effect 3, Eurogamer has
discovered. This encompasses all GAME and Gamestation stores."

I'm really glad I saw this thread. I've switched over to Play.com now, I've used them before and their service was superb.

Im not going to make any further pre orders until there is a proper statement from ea/biowarwe. If I miss out on the opertunity to give ea 30 odd quid extra for a robotic dog and patch and a few assorted goodies then so be it.


Official post from EA here.



Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that to see what they say about the n7 stuff :)

Just seen this and I am fuming! Was only in yesterday and they were all talking about the release, posters were everywhere. Also they are still selling ME3 on their website.

I have preordered from Zavvi, but if you put N7 warfare gear only at gamestop and amazon, I won't be able to get it as those shops do not ship to my country.
I've also lost many reward points from Game.UK which I've saved just to get my N7, so I have to pay full price on Zavvi now.
Very, very bad situation.

Thank you, OP! Thank you so much! I wouldn't have been aware of it for god knows how long otherwise.
For GAME and EA: way to do business guys! That is what I get for preordering it ages ago. What a joke.

Anyone know what Shopto is like? I see they are pretty serious about getting the product to you on the release date which is good, but I've never shopped with them before.
