Funny isn’t it, how It seems that when any of us pop into high street gaming shops (In this case Game) that we always seem to come back to SR with a story of there sheer incompetence and how much of a joke some of there staff really are. I guess the saying that we are a nation of moaners is correct, but this time, it was really all-there loss.
As you will know, I went into town today, thinking of getting ISS 2, so I popped into game and started looking on the shelves in the new release section. Nothing. They did not have one copy of the game up there. I was pretty shocked by this, I was sure it was out, yet they did not have a copy.
So before I walked out, I decided to ask the woman behind the counter:
“ISS 2 you say…you sure there is such a thing?” she asked
I tried not to laugh, but I could not help it. Anyway, she started searching the book they always have under the counter looking for it…to cut a long story short, they had the games in, they had them delivered on the Thursday, yet they had not had them on the shelves, and it was now 10am Monday morning…are they mad?
How much money could they have lost because they could not be bothered to plainly put them on the shelves, many people would have just walked in, not seen it and then walked out, they didn’t even have any adverts up for it.
Sheesh, the stupidity of some companies is beyond me…I ended up with the game though, and as compensation I got a free reward card.
Yippee! :D

Well, I suppose there's a chance they've introduced a charge, but I certainly didn't pay anything for mine.
My last voucher was for £14 - highest I ever had was £28, I think.

I dont shop there often enough to get anything back on vouchers, so theres no real point in me having one anyway.
This is the first game that i have bought from the high street since last october.

Wookie just showd us his loyalty for SR :D
Any way i think most highstreet gameshop assistants are all pains in the ar.....they just dont seem to know what there on about. I asked if they had Moto Gp 2 in stock (i could see one behind counter) but they got a release list out and sed sorry it isn't out yet! What the hell!
Any way...just goes to show....home shopping is less hassle..and cheaper :D

I've never made any secret about shopping elsewhere!
I get 99% of my console games from SR, but there's other stuff I get from Game. PC games, for example, are often cheaper or the same price in Game as on SR. So if I'm in the shop, I'll get it, rather than wait for the delivery.

Oh joy! Thank you sooooo much!
As you're a Spurs fan, I'll say thanks by buying you 11 cabbages. You can give them to Glen Twaddle as a replacement first-team squad.
Got to be better than the current vegetables you have. :-)
