The super markets like asda and tesco are even cheaper!

Then you get online stores that are cheaper still, yes they have less overheads but it just shows what profits the GAME stores are making by, imo ripping off joe public.

Its also the trade in values that have dropped, say you get a £50 game, the trade in is instantly under £30, thats worse depreciation than Cars lol!

I just dont like the way Game work, the staff are useless too from my experiances.

Like I said though, its just my point of view mate.
Well business is about making money right? That's what GAME are doing, maximizing their profits.
