Anyone been into Dixons recently?

The words 'price crash', and 'clear out' spring to mind.

No new titles in store, all remaining games £24.99 or less to clear, official pads £15.98.

GC shelves half empty, and not being re-stocked.

Even worse, their new games catalogue doesn't make any mention the GC, as if it never happened.

So, cheap consoles may boost sales short term, but no-one's gonna be buying their GCs from Dixons in the very near future.

Obviously I don't really care, I love my GC, and the satisfying number of excellent games, but stores that choose to support XBox and drops GC?

Purleez...

(Shame on you, Dixons)

Um, Dixons havn't heard of these games. That would be your problem.

Dixons drop the GC claiming they need more shelf space. Why the hell don't they drop the Xbox instead. It sells less and takes up a hell of alot more shelf space (literally).

That's the thing, they're so cheap asss they've only got Crazy Taxi, Jeremy's Mx, Starfox, Burnout etc. £14.99-£24.99.

Still worth it for official pads at £15.98.

I'm sure MVC did the same with the Nintendo 64.

Mind you, I've never been impressed by their range of games.

One good thing.

When they get very low on final stocks they'll probably reduce everything to £5, did for N64 and Ps1.

But it made me think.

This must be (one of, if not) the quickest ever 'end of lining by major retailer' of a current generation console.
