Game have now offically taken over EB..

Can this be a good or bad thing?

EB are full of crap and Game have generally been decent,

So now we have some decent crap?

Hmm.. ok. Let me help you out here.

EB own GAME. EB are still going to own GAME. They are changing the EB shops names to GAME as GAME has a better rep.

Nothing else will change.

Apart from more people wearing the lovely green top like the one I have behind me.

:-D

Out of interest, why did the same company have two different shops that sold the same things? Or were they seperate, EB took over Game, but they couldn't afford/be bothered to change all the shops signs and stuff.

EB must have owned Game beforehand...

Both websites were the same and the name they gave to the GAME logo was eblogo.gif...

Mmmmmm

So if they are the same company why don't they both sell at competitve rates? Games is more reasonable when EB is a rip off at times, some of their policies are also different. (this is before the offcial change over or whatever it is)

EB took over Game a couple of years or so ago.

We only have 2 x EB's in Ipswich and both are rubbish. When I have been to Colchester and other places that have both I have noticed that the prices have been the same and they offer exactly the same deals - generally.

I think Game do have a better name in the UK than EB so maybe that's why they have decided to rebrand the EB shops. the thing is they will still have the same idiots working in them so nothing else will really change !
