Game / Gamestation not selling Mass Effect 3?

Postby freemonk on Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:28 am

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but I can't find Mass Effect 3 on either of the Game or Gamestation websites. I wasn't sure when Mass Effect 3 was out (I know it's early March), so I thought I'd check Game.

0 Search Results.

I checked out Gamestation.

0 Search Results.

The game is not any of the websites from what I can see.

I read somewhere that Game/Gamestation was having issues of some kind with distributer due to debts they owe, so is this the beginning of the end for Game/Gamestation.

If it can't stock big new releases like ME3, then what hope have they got of staying open for much longer if they are already having issues?

I can see how you missed this thread because the title has been changed, but it's already been a hot topic here...

Wow! It is getting bad out there for Game and Gamestation.

I didn't realise that they announced this a few weeks back, and that it's not just releated to Mass Effect 3.

my mate works for gamestation and he told me today that he was given a form asking which shop he would be prepared to move to if they had to shut the one he is in - doesnt exactly fill him with confidence esp as he said that was the first piece of communication from head office

Game was advertising Street Fighter vs Tekken just a few days ago on the main page.

These are not small games they are missing out on, these are triple A titles that they are failing to sell.

What's the that when they get a few pre-owned copies in that they'll be well overpriced!
