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...

I've noticed that - Half the time I know a lot more about gaming than the guy/girl behind the counter does.

Like when a woman behind the counter in GAME asked me if i wanted to preorder 'Zelda - The Wind Walker'

I asked a 'videogame specialist' in my local Dixons if it was a permanent thing, and he said 'I've heard the same rumours as you'

I haven't heard any rumours...just facts...
