GAME have decided to give me a £100 of virtual shares. That's nice of them.

[JohnC]

Does that mean you virtually own game?

[gossi the dog]

I have to go to my local store to pick up a virtual share certificate. What? Plus I can't cash them in until October by which time the price may well have plummeted.

[AlonzoUK]

I got some too!

I can see when we go to collect the reward in October having to pay them cash but hey it's a nice freebie.

"Wrappz".

Oh my.

[stefcha]

Why does everything have to be misspelled these days? If it doesn't have an "i" on the front it's got a bloody dropped vowel or a "z" thrown in somewhere. Wraps. Tumbler. Apple Telephone. Much better.

It's because of branding and trademarks. I remember in November I had an assignment where I had to make a website using something called "Weebly". it's just made up shit that can be trademarked.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Right then, apparently I was awarded 100 pounds worth of shares in June!

Missed that email anyway and nobody bothered contacting me. So I've not collected any certificate or owt.

I literally just found out I've got them. And I don't read this thread normally.

Opened an email thinking it was some crappy advert, but it's saying they've risen to 141 quid and that my 1st Window to redeem them is on 16th October!

I didn't even know this was going on!

So.. do ineed to get a certificate from the store allocated? Or just carry on regardless ? And choose what to do with em?

[DC]

There is a thread about the shares in ATF.

[gossi the dog]

I think the certificate is just for show - it's not numbered or anything. So start looking forward to some free loyalty points!

So it seems Game are opening a second store in Norwich on Friday. Having closed two stores and a Gamestation not that long ago.

It's in Chapelfield:

To celebrate, we're giving away a whopping 1,000,000 Reward points!

Thanks for being a great customer - don't forget to pop in and say hello to the team!

How, in the online-deominating-high-street-bricks-and-mortar-shop-dying world that we live in does anyone still think opening a second shop 5 minutes from your first is a good idea?

I never thought id say it but i wish theyd come back to durham. With different staff.

[Rob Rymond]

I imagine it is a pop-up Christmas store. They did it in Birmingham last year. Also there is a possibility that stores will become Gametronics in the next 12 months. Eagerly await Black Friday deals too, most stores open at midnight and from 5am as well.

[Dudley]

Black Friday is not a thing in the UK. Stop trying to make it a thing in the UK!

[Xevious]

Yes, it's awful that people can get discounted stuff just before Christmas.

[deKay]

Then call it a pre-Christmas sale. Or just a sale. It isn't Black Friday.

[Dudley]

Plus everyone's off work in the US, not here.

[sandman]

My local was mental busy at the weekend. Biq q with at least 4 sales staff on the tills. Lots of consoles being sold. It was like the late 90s!

In fact, if you go in at the weekend its been busy for ages.

[Guest]

I hear there's a big festive event approaching which might have something to do with it.

[Shimmyhill]

I go into Game just as a habit, i wander round i of course nothing surprises me (except the prices i guess) and i leave wondering why i went in - it's always busy tho.

[dumpster]

Got rid of The Evil Within on PS3 today.

Game offered £8.40

Cex offered £25 cash or £28 trade.

[angel]

fuck off, 8.40? Must be booked in for a sale shortly. Head office trade pricing has always been a disgrace. Theyre a bunch of clueless wankers there.

[gossi the dog]

Their trade in prices have always been a joke. However, they will price match CEX for store credit if you ask.

I'm not always near Game but I do this as well. I go in, browse for about 10-20 minutes then leave. I rarely buy anything from them now as the majority of my purchase are now online stores. I prefer CEX as I mainly looking for older games when I go into a game shop.
