The game stores are located everywhere, Coventry has 3 , (i think, ) The name says it all really. They sell computer games for the pc, Playstation 3, Ps2, Psp, X box , Wii and the Gameboy sp.
This store in the middle of the city centre is the biggest out of the two here.
It has multiple titles for all platforms. Prices are usually competitive, but could be found cheaper occasionally by a few ££ if you search the web. But it means waiting for it to be delivered.
You can also buy UMD movies and a small amount of Blue ray Dvds too.
The staff are usually quite helpful, b ut you get much better customer service from the game store at the ricoh arena shopping park.
They have a second hand section with titles from all platforms, which is a great thing. But some of the prices are only £2-£4 cheaper than the game brand new. I thought the point of selling second hand games was to make them cheaper?? Correct me if im wrong.
A few of moans i will give about the game franchise is the fact they no longer have the following :
1) 28 days refund policy. Where by you would buy a game, eagerly get home to play it and find out how crap it was. You could then take it back for a full refund or buy another game. This policy has been removed, which is a shame.
2) The old school games section. No longer do they sell games for retired games machines such as the SNES, Megadrive, Game gear. To buy these you have to go elsewhere, or search the internet.
3) The shop seems crowded, with little room to move between stands and people! But there are worse, a lot worse (gamestation-far to clostraphobic!)
So there you have it, my review of the Game in the middle of the city centre.
Game recievs only 3 stars due to the poor 2nd hand pricing structure, which is either stupid or very clever as some people would prefer to spend an extra couple of ££s to have a game new. They get more money out of us!!!
And no longer having the cool 28 day refund policy. read more
