Hang on, so who's to blame here. I thought it was GAME's fault. My mate who works for game said it was to do with credit notes and EA not excepting them. Well GAME is in a lot of debt at the moment.


It is GAME's fault. They're in debt in the first place because they were just totally uncompetitive. Now they're credit is becoming bad as a result and the publishers simply don't believe they'll pay their debts, so they haven't come to deal with GAME - and hence, they're distributing through other retailers.

The thing is, GAME are a specialist retailer. They don't have the option of simply not stocking big releases. They're in a vicious circle at the moment and its unlikely they'll get back out.

This,    how can it be possible that a "SPECIALIST RETAILER" is dearer than practically everywhere else.     this christmas we were getting our son a 3DS,  game was the WORST deal on the market.   HTF do you get like that?


Simply bad management and lack of knowledge of the gaming market I suppose.


I also heard somewhere that they got fined for breaking consumer rights.

Arrogance, mostly. At one time GAME were the big boys on the market, and they simply didn't feel their business model needed to change when people like Amazon and Play.com started to become larger. They were still raking money in and had plenty of market analysts telling them what they wanted to hear, so they didn't feel they needed to actually compete. The people in charge simply couldn't get their heads around stuff like Steam and internet shopping, so it went downhill pretty quickly.

Couldn't happen to a nicer company, to be honest.

I went to buy the new SSX today. Walked right past GameStation wearing my Mass Effect hoody - and bought SSX from Grainger Games round the corner.

Felt good :D

Edit: ME3 360 CE is now processing in my play.com account. Wahey! I can sleep again!

All Shopto orders as of 12pm are packed and ready to be dispatched via the chosen delivery method on Wednesday. Which is excellent news indeed, now Friday can't come soon enough.

Pre-paid for my order asap, had the reciept through saying order is complete. Have an N7 edition and standard edition (with t-shirt). Both have the Warfare pack as well and the additional gun Shopto have for orders.

My order says estimated dispatch is 7th March so I expect they'll charge it tomorrow, Wed morning at the latest :)

I'm obsessively checking too, but logic and past experience are telling me to be more patient ;)

Usually shopto.net send confirmation that they have posted it and it arrives the next day, so hopefully, i could get it Thursday, if not Friday at the latest.

If you do get it on Thursday, will you be able to use the DLC codes then or have to wait until Friday?


I did it last time with ME2 no problem. I wouldn't worry about it, use them when u have them.

It only gives me a dispatch estimate on the mobile site on my phone, when I look on a desktop the only thing there is the delivery estimate which is the 9th.
