GAME are cunts
Today i thought i would make a super effort to buy some bargain games online (other than from ebay where prices are still being forced high by tossers who have no idea how to shop online).
I went in search of some specialist game price comparison sites and i found a good few and also stored some good URL's for later use.
Now i done a price search for about 100 or so games on various sites and i noticed a really cunty pattern. Nearly every game which i searched for, GAME were the cheapest by a long way. "Whats wrong with that?" I hear you ask. Well every single game and I MEAN EVERY-SINGLE-GAME was either "temporarily removed from sale" or "out of stock".
Now what i think they are doing is, once a game is out of stock or whatever, they then reduce the price on the site to a really low price and then leave the page available for price comparison sites to find. By doing this they then come top of almost every game search and drive huge amounts of traffic to their site.
Now this really pisses me off because being a lifelong gamer and collector, it seriously gets in the way of getting those rarities at bargain prices.
Oh, and for those who didnt know, GAME own gamestation so they have a near monopoly on game stores
