    I’m surprised Game has lasted as long as it has. Do people really buy games as a physical transaction when they are downloaded and activated by a code? As for hardware better prices can be found online as well.

      I *used to buy games on disc, complete them in a few weeks and then either sell it on marketplace or trade it into GAME.

      Unfortunately, with the advent of the digital only versions of these consoles, that market has utterly dried up and I can’t move games on anymore, and GAME totally takes the piss with regards to what they’re willing to offer.

      So, yay I guess. Long live only being able to buy games for above RRP on the digital store front.

        As a PC gamer who tends to buy most of their games in Steam sales, I assure you that gaming on the cheap in a digital world is most assuredly possible.

          The open ecosystem of that pc and the closed one of the consoles aren’t really comparable though. I’ve got so much more choice on PC than I do on console.
