administration station.
For people who are not into gaming and anyone who didn't pre-order mass effect 3 you might not have noticed that Game and gamestation respectively have plunged into administrations this week. Due to some accounts by E.A that they didn't cough up for. So for the moment some store remain open and as for your Elite bonus card point you cant use anymore the situation for me at least is bitter sweet, GAME on the one side the general consensus seems to be that no one real cares to see them go for along time GAME and Gamestation have been one and the same company so why the hell is everything a higher price in GAME?
This is mostly board out of the fact that GAME has aimed most of its Customer focus on Mothers buying Wii games for there kid that's right lets slap a extra £20 for the unsuspecting Iceland mam coming in to buy little Kieran a kinect console bundle just to get a break from been attack by fruit shoot bottles and crayon's.
On the other side of the coin is Gamestation that may have been slowly turning into game since about 2006 but theirs still been a focus more on the side of Gamers and been the only main outlet for retro since its humble beginnings you could say that many people will miss Gamestation and will defiantly leave a bigger hole in the high street then GAME, For the moment the store remain open for now and here's hoping some one buys them up and it doesn't end up becoming anther ZAVI or Woolworth's.

In full conclusion what all this really means is its going to become a lot harder for me to do what I do, That been finding playing and selling Rare video games because of places like gamestation that sell games at reasonable prices if where not careful the future mite turn out like this.
Grainger games Blarrrr......
