No it wasn't, and no it doesn't.

Buy a real fucking chair, you dumb cunt. The piece of chinese garbage you just blew 50+ squids on isn't worth the cost to deliver it.

>implying loose women is on sundays

It cost £28.

Did you guys ever get these cards like we got in Australia? They got complaints to the government over them.

Fucking game.

What's the worst game you convinced someone to buy? Bonus points if it was a Grandma just trying to buy her grandchild something nice.

Got the time mate?

>Norwich to the euro cup final

Europa league is for normal teams across Europe.

i actually refused to rip off any little old grandma that came in. i would take them to one side and tell them what to get and what to avoid when my boss wasn't looking. i convinced someone to spend over £1,000 on a ps4 though

cant see big ben from me window mate

I've never heard anyone call the Europa league the 'Euro Cup'

The fuck you sayin bout Norwich m8

Norwich are a fucking noncing yo-yo club but that wasn't my issue with the post

Wait really? I thought they just rebranded again.

£1000? What the fuck did they buy with it? At their most expensive they were £450 right?

GAME is a shithole

do you have to return case?

lmao Europa league is literally irrelevant

Nah they've been gone for a few years now

I never said Europa you fukkin gay boy u said EUROPE

told them we didnt have any in stock, this was before christmas. told them we had a left over preordered bundle but we couldnt take it apart they had to buy it as is, then i went into the back, looked at our massive collection of ps4s and then just started putting a random list together of games controllers and insurance that this bundle could have

OI MATE ITS FUCKING 12 BONG

It's sad that a better store is no longer around.

Stank of piss and sweaty moshers

Where can I get hooked up with some helium, lads?

That's like saying you'd rather have one leg than none. You're still an invalid

>Go to CEX
>Get vita
>There's a 16GB memory card inside
Guess it went better than expected

Well Game took over them.

>Order anything from amazon
>Have a problem with the product
>Ask for a refund or exchange
>Amazon happily gives it to me immediately
Seriously, why not use amazon? I don't mind paying a few bucks extra for some things because of the great customer service. You can even fucking tell them a game didn't arrive and they'll give you a refund for it no questions asked, even if you actually got it

Fuck off dumb weeb.

Why is everything in GAME so fucking overpriced?
Everything's about 10 pounds more than on the Internet and CEX is way cheaper than GAME when it comes to second-hand stuff.
Convince me not to buy an xbone for 150

>pop into CEX
>sell bootleg dvds, broken ps3s, and other shit
>they dont notice

>Go into GAME for the first time in years
>They sell preowned phones and tablets now like a fucking CEX
>Everything else overpriced

Sad

Amazon were going to take 2 months to deliver the parts I wanted. I used Amazon for the PSU, HDD and SATA cables and they arrived and everything was GREAT.

Fuck, I think this is the one from my town

I really enjoyed Doctor Who before the reboot and I fucking hate seeing it everywhere.
There's been what, one phone game and a piece of shit on the Wii?
Yet it's still all over the fucking place in EB Games.

henkaku works without a memory card now so you can at least emulate shit or pirate really small games until you've got a card

they got bought out by game you nonce

>walk into GAME

>walk into GAME
>they're selling sausage rolls and eclairs

>go into CEX
>All pokemon games are 40 bongbux+
What the fuck.

GameStation got bought out by game millions of years ago, when game had those financial problems they killed the brand off despite it being the brand people liked more

Literally on break at my job at Spoons rn.

Brit/v/ when?

Is anyone legless right now at half 1 in the afternoon

How many cunts a night get chucked out on average

My local game Sells Red Bull for £1.40 fucking scam.

>How the everloving fuck does this place still exist?
Never underestimate the power of having street presence. When normies go shopping they seek out the shops that interest them. Since most high streets in GB are 90% phone dealers, furniture stores and chip shops. GAME is pretty much the place all young males will head towards. Once in there they can be marketed towards by the shitty staff to buy games that are way above competetive pricing because they don't know any better.

Lets hope they die out soon.

Some people don't know any better.

>Walk into EB games
>Only figures are pop vinyls and shit minecraft toys
I fucking hate Pop Vinyls so god damn much holy fuck. I ask if they have any Nendoroids and its a fat no.

How do you feel about your contributions towards the death of the traditional pub you cunt

>omitting the actual red flag from the funko pop name
Even when funko aren't making vinyls it's bottom of the barrel trash. There's literally nobody worse that a license could go to.

>go to Game
>they're hyping up another midnight launch with tons of professional hype material up in the windows
>walk a few doors down
>G-Force has an A4 piece of paper taped to the window announcing the game is already on sale because they don't give a shit about street dates

Honestly don't know how that Game stays in business. Not like they're cheaper or have a better selection or anything.

>head office cuts hours for shop making it not viable to hire new staff

Fucking GAME

How the fuck do you even get a job interview with GAME anyway? They never advertise that theyre hiring, and Ive shoved my CV to them like 5 times.
Im wholly convinced that they'll just hire people who the manager meets in the club when hes pissed

It's not the poor quality that I hate, there's tons of poor quality shit from all sorts of companies.
It's not the ridiculous lineup of franchises they have which make no sense to be made together mlp and Fallout, etc and the only reason they are made together is because it's what's fucking popular at the time.
No, I can excuse this bullshit.

My fucking problem is that people buy this shit in droves.

I've seen people with hundreds of them, they'll buy dozens of them and stack them up around their house without even taking them out of the box.

The worst part?
They never have a fucking answer as to why they buy them.
They don't say it's because they like getting merch of something they like, it's not because they like collecting shit.
It's always "I dunno"

I fucking hate Pop Vinyls.

Yeah I thought the same, walk in there and see pre-owned game for £49.99 that was £30 brand new on amazon.

I wish I was joking. It's a joke they're even still able to scam people.

great post

They do, they have a jobs website now that's how I got my job there

>11 years old
>Gamecube just came out

>NOPE
>Proceed to buy the shit out of that Gamecube

Happy birthday you little shit.

My mate works there and told me to drop a CV in, tbf they did have a sign in the window too

>Wii just released

FUCKING GAME.

Whats it look like

>go into game
>4 members of staff doing fuck all
>ask if they have x game
>nope lol want to pre order cod?

>go down road to grainger games
>2 staff members keeping busy
>ask if they have x game
>they do, is £5 cheaper than it would be at game and they give me the pre order bonus too

I normally just buy off amazon but fuck game. They even had a whole shelf dedicated to copies of goat simulator. Disgusting lads.

>Go to GAME
>Wish to purchase a video-game

>Tell her no

>Bitch cops an attitude while processing my purchase.

Why the fuck do GAME employees do this? You people are cancer.

Grainger Games used to be decent priced until the Gamestation next to it closed. Now the prices are full retard and it costs money to pre-order

>G-Force has an A4 piece of paper taped to the window announcing the game is already on sale because they don't give a shit about street dates

Seems like their entire company is fucked if they get caught though desu

GAME might be fucking shit but you find good deals there sometimes.

Found IL-2 for 15 quid

you mad man
