Not going to miss Game at all; games are cheaper virtually anywhere else here and I mainly buy from Steam or Amazon if I want physical copies. Though I see more jobs losses and another high street store closing being the main worry now.

Great. All the places to pre-order the Xbox 360 Collector's Edition in the UK are now sold out. Thanks GAME. Thanks a fucking lot.

On a slightly different note, If you've any credit saved up with game/gamestation, best to use it sooner rather than later, in the past stores that go into administration but continue to trade, often stop accepting giftcards/issued vouchers.

ISTR its something to do with the way administration works and the people with vouchers/giftcards having to attempt to claim the money from the administrators, placing them fairly far down the list of creditors trying to claim their money back.

A £5 gift voucher as a way of saying sorry feels pathetic too, I know they didn't take my money but there isn't anything else I want anyway...
To be fair, if they're going down the shitter im surprised they're even giving away £5 gift vouchers.

Anyway im really disappointed about losing my CE that ive had pre ordered for 8 frikkin months -.- but i saw this coming when i noticed that last night when it had mysteriously vanished from their site... still its pretty annoying.. and now im gonna have to do my physical game purchasing from HMV which are always over priced =[
Dude, get it from Amazon.co.uk, it's about £64 on there. Which is about roughly the same as what GAME were selling it for. I've ordered a copy from there.

I know how you feel though, had my copy on pre-order since August. They are bound to lose a lot more income from not stocking it frankly. =/
Yeah i preordered from there just after posting, thanks though... and it actually works out about £5 cheaper.... Still i was pretty worried given that before today everywhere was sold out.

Even though im actually saving money because of this, its still a massive slap to the dick. Plus the preorder bonus isnt as good (in the grand scheme of things that doesnt matter but still)... Oh well.

Well fuck.

I can't even summon the energy to be annoyed, there's just sadness.

I can't even play ME3 until I go home for Easter but I wanted the N7 Edition for the artbook etc. I guess the (awful) silver lining is that I'll get the game cheaper as I now have no choice but to get the standard edition. Yay =\.

Yep. First they ditch my preorder of The Last Story. Now I find I'm not going to be getting the N7 Collector's Edition of ME3, because it's sold out everywhere already. I'm going to ring around a few HMVs and Blockbusters tomorrow morning, but I doubt I'll find a copy.

Very angry and sad right now. =/ Time to wave goodbye to GAME and leave it to it's fate, I think.

Game has been pretty bad for the last decade or so. I stopped going there because of how expensive they were compared to other game stores and online. I'm actually kind of surprised they've managed to stick around for so long, but I don't think they're gonna be here much longer especially if they pull more stuff like this.

For anyone still trying to hunt down the CE I've just managed to place an order for the PC version with Blockbuster. As it stands right now all three versions are listed as available to pre-order. Perhaps they've received/been made aware of more stock? Dearly hope they're not just getting my hopes up to dash them later, quite expertly.

Also Shopto.net seems to have PS3 versions of the CE available, but not the others.

Whatever the case it seems that it might be worth it to keep checking the webstores and then acting quickly if you can!

Yeah, I got caught by this. Luckily managed to bag a CE on play.com, about 15-20 minutes before they were sold out. I placed my pre-order back in october or september. It was a real dick move to wait one week before release to tell people they're not selling it any more. Lot of people will have been screwed over.

Browsing GAME's website while wondering what to spend my £5 voucher and £5 worth of GAME Points on, I noticed that most of the triple-A titles from the last few months are out of stock as new.

That's my last purchase from GAME sorted anyway.

Amazon for me. Still has the Argus Rifle pre-order item listed. Glad I saw this thread as I rarely check my email.

I got my email today about cancelling my pre-order, they say they're giving everyone £5 on their reward cards and refunding any deposit so it's ok but I'm just happy I've been able to get my debit card so I'm quite happy that I can still get it online now, all I'm saying is if HMV hike up the price then it's really gonna screw up gaming in this country
