Game over as 2,000 UK jobs axed in collapse - Business News - Business - The Independent

That should make some room for some more high street charity shops..

Checked out the Game local to the office and haven't seen any greats deals as of yet even though they there is a lot on their site about Spring Clean.

I hope they pull through even though the newsheets were practically ordering the tombstone.

The chap I spoke to in Glen McArtur Centre was playing it safe saying "business as usual" but they had no new stock in whatsoever and were basically trading off of the fumes of the trade in trade.

I stopped in at one in the centre of Chesterfield and it was the same, I was asking about 3ds and the member of staff was talking in like hushed whispers to the manager, I heard him say, "Have we got any new 3DS or are they just down to trade in now" then turning back to me with a big custom smile, "Ah no, were waiting for the next delivery of those.... (long pause).....(alkward smile).....

I'm the same as you I was hoping to cash in more than just my reward points and maybe score a closing down desperation deal but the are stubbornly holding on.. probably sold anything worth buying by now anywho and just waiting... waiting for that next delivery

It was in the news sheets yesterday about Game UK, apparently they are on the verge of collapse. They are not taking in any deliveries (not just the ones I mentioned earlier) at all meaning they are more or less floating on what stock they had and then trade in stock..

It seems inevitable that another high street name is about to hit the skids..


*Cash in any loyalty points etc while you still can.

Very good - syfy channel on sky ran a couple series recently, now rather than walking round making stars wars quotes - it's all robot chicken, lol.

Great comedian, suffered terrible with depression in his days. Unlike the sterotypical 'crying clown' thought to haunt many comedians, I think his condition was hereditarty. Amazing to think a person has the strength and courage to fight through all the doubt and dark times that must have plagued him to pull off those famous performances.

A great inspiration to all people with depression and everyone else too.


How do you like my Fez

Yeah. Fifa is also good online. Not really into massive multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft AKA World of Wordcrack (because of its supposed addictiveness of course).

I don't know why but I always thought it was called war hammer lol.. Have you seen the episode of southpark where they rip World of Warcraft, very funny (you might find clips on youtube)
I do not like games like the game even though I never played it.

When it first kicked off I was exploring that 'Second Life' some of the success stories are amazing.. In the end my 'First Life' did not allow me enough time to invest fully in my second one..

*From a professional point of view the idea of leading a double life is a little bit too 'virtual' for my liking, if you get what I mean..

Not a big online gamer but apart from accountancy games it would have to be Gear of Wars. Its not really the greatest as a online game but its cool to go online and do a campaign with others every so often.

Not been on Gears of war, I dont know why just never appealed to me. To be honest I just have the odd game and go play online if it's that kind of gamem call of duty seems to be geared for online play in the same way as Gears of war I suppose.

I think after the looting we had early this year shows how good or bad we are at organising chaos -
Government are trying to take us back a level to try to make up as much lost cash in the little time they have left.. by the time the next election rolls around the next generation of voters will all on mass vote... or go looting again
