Bloody typical!
Just like the supermarkets, I just get used to where everything is in Game, and they move it all around again. It's only been around six months since they last did it!
It was like this...
Walk in the door, and as you head down to the back of the shop...
Xbox on the left, PS2 on the right.
Checkouts on left, small DVD section on right.
Pass the checkouts - PC games on left, pre-owned on right.
Still PC games on left, PSone games on right. Hardware and accessories in the middle on shelves.
Futher down - still PC games on the left, GBA games on the right.
And right at the back - Gamecube.
Wandered in there today. Look left to see if there's anything new on Xbox. See rows of PS2's. Hmm.
Look right to see the PS2 games... PC titles.
Almost everything has been moved, except the Gamecube stuff which still languishes at the back of the store.
Now the whole of the front-left of the shop is PS2. All of the front-right is PC. PSone and GBA games are where they were before, and Xbox has been shoved right to the back and had its shelf space marginally increased with the addition of a "new release" section.
Why oh why do they do this? They have everything set out nicely, regulars know where everything is, and then they swap it all around.
It can only be to deliberately confuse people!

Game seem to favour PS2 a bit. Woolworths seem to like the GC. Choices favour the PS1+2 (by stocking almsot every crap game ever produced for them)
Same here. GC gets 5 'things'. Its playstand is over the opposite end of the shop. They change it every week seemingly.
They've done exaclty the same to my local GAME...for some reason the X-Box and Gamecube stands are stuffed into tiny litte niches at the front of the shop...idiots :(
The Game where I live has about 5 shelves for PS2 games, mostly stocked with about 10 copies of the same game. 3 Shelves for Gamecube. God knows how many for PC and a tiny piddly shelf in the middle of the shop for Xbox, oh how I laughed, then everyone looked at me and gave me weird looks.
I hate it when that happens too, no matter where it is.
They MUST do it to annoy us!??
I've noticed that SR's Bristol store has done it quite a bit since last year... Mainly with the N64 stuff.
People are always moving stuff around at work during the week, everything's moved whenever someone wants me to find something for them on a Saturday morning! It's so damn annoying! And then the customers look at you as if to say you're useless because you don't know where it all is... Well, some do. And then you have to ask someone, and then they get annoyed because you're bothering them with what they're doing, and so-on....
Why can't people just leave things where they are!!???

I don't know why shops do this, it always confusing when you go into a shop and don't know where the hell you are because they've swapped everything arond. It doesn't happen much in my games shops though thankfully, but it's bloody annoying when they do change arond.
