"Pay for postage? I dont think so"

So SR are charging us for postage now? It used to be free for Platinum members. Whats the point of joining? Do they actually think I want the free gift? And no more Reddies either.

Most of the time they were no cheaper than their rivals anyway, but now with the extra for postage I feel no need to buy from them any more.

If this has already been discussed then I'm sorry, but i felt like having a rant.

If i want a game, i'll win it.

I dont understand how they make profit.

Here, here.

SR are crap now.

To be fair, SR have dropped their prices on most of the games too, so once you include postage, you're not really paying any more than you were before. However, I remain a bit skeptical on the old membership now, wonder if it's gonna be scrapped?

Having joined special reserve i always feel tempted to buy anything but its just too expensive. There rivals have much cheaper and free postage on their items so, i too feel ripped off here. Sorry but its true. ( i bet they will ban me now !!!)

I've got thousands of Reddies.

we don't have reddies now?!?! i think i'll be finding myself a new games shop....

I never really bought that much from them anyway. Their slightly higher prices kind of balanced itself out with the free postage and free gifts and even then I felt like I was being ripped off. The monthly magasine you get is rubbish too. All of the stuff in it is on the website anyway and the "reviews" claim that everything is brilliant because they are trying to sell you stuff.

No more buying from SR. Well maybe once so I can claim my unused reddies. But I probably wont even do that.

I don't buy my games from SR anymore.
Got bored with them never having new releases on the shelf on release day or being more expensive than anywhere else.

I'll have to start writting reviews etc. Is it easy to win?

Edit:- They'll probably start charging postage for GAD wins soon.
