The past couple of days, Game and Gamestation, run by the same people is going to be closing soon.

If you have been online or instore the last few days, you would notice no new games, and big sales on pre-order stuff as they need to get rid of it all.

New stuff they can send back to suppliers. Today they talked to some of the staff about closing.

My son had a couple of hundred worth of vouchers that he got for Christmas and his birthday. We are going down at the weekend to spend as much as possible so he doesn't lose out.

EA and Capcom have both refused to suplly them with the latest titles, such as Mass Effect 3

I have Diablo 3 Collectors edition on pre order with them but did not have to pay anything up front so wont lose out if they do go to the wall

As for selling used games as someone mentioned try CEX (google them)

I was in there the other day as my son was getting an xbox for his birthday.. they told me to wait till Friday if I could.

But 11 year old boy wasnt going to wait any longer and it was his money lol

It is sad as its first place I go.. I have 4 consoles from them.. all with warrenty which I am guessing is now not worth anything.

If they are extended warranties, chances are they are with different company. Check your warranty agreements and it may be worth giving them a ring to find out where you stand.

its just that with your receipt you get 12 months that they will fix or replace your console.

The first port of call for any "12 month warranty" on new products is the place you bought them from, but the warranty is a manufacturers warranty, so if anything did happen to the consoles the manufacturer will repair/ replace them.

That's why it is always a good idea to register the consoles on the manufacturers website or send in the registration card.
