Yes, it's pretty bad for GAME.
There are some interesting articles on Eurogamer and trade paper MCV about it all.

Ah right, thanks for explaining. I thought this was an extension of something they did a few years back whilst working for them, where certain titles weren't stocked by EA to make a point about pricing.
Either way, the outcome hasn't done GAME any favours...

Good luck with that HM. Not going to run a Brewster's Millions 'none of the above' campaign then?
The GAME thing isn't them trying to make a point, it's that they didn't want to pay outright for games that they'd normally get on credit.
The usual credit systems they had in place were affected by the loss of their insurance and most publishers changed their terms to allow GAME to receive games on credit still. Talks with Nintendo, EA and Capcom didn't reach an agreement, so it was either not have the games to sell or pay for them up front, which GAME Group were unwilling or unable to do.

Thanks DL, Had a lot of positive response from the school for it - one of the other competitors was filming today (although in honesty I think she may be the better candidate). The current VP doesn't think she needs to campaign and will win by default...so reflects character... I know at least out of all the students in my year, I'll at least rank third ;)
And what is with GAME recently - I understand making a point, but when their future is just about in the balance, they should be doing all they can to survive, not cutting themselves out of the huge game release market...

Anyway, Morning all.
Pretty nippy out there, but at least the sun was shining when I caught the bus this morning.

I see EA as a bigger issue than Nintendo, certainly this month. Considering that either this will be solved before April as talks are still ongoing, or GAME will actually shut down, EA's titles would be the ones that bring in more money in March, considering how big they are and how many are due this month.
I think GAME's inability to secure an agreement with Nintendo is probably one of the more problematic ones, although failing with EA and Capcom isn't exactly a thing to cheer about, either....

There were no copies of SSX in Game or Gamestation today. They've sold out and don't know when they'll be back in stock.
Asura's Wrath isn't going to be stocked either, if anyone wanted to know
