GAME weighs final options before point of no return
The first option, which would be refinancing of the current company by buyout bidders OpCapita, has apparently been ruled out by MCV. Next is a white knight or angel arriving and saving the day, but with a Sunday deadline this is considered "incredibly unlikely." Outcome number three: GAME is GONE.
However, MCV mentions a fourth option, which would save much of the company's workforce and leave the chain with over 300 stores. The move would have GAME voluntarily enter administration and create a "new company, funded by current bank lenders." If it happens, it would occur next Monday. The plan was apparently presented to GAME's concerned suppliers today. If the publishers agree, the GAME continues next week.

Everyone says that game stores are 'overpriced' in reality they are not overpriced.. Target and K-mart games are over priced. You should compare the prices in stores to the prices on EBAY (which is what half of TTG does and you all know it)

SteelSeriesGraqhiccheesewaffle1 where are people going to buy games in UK? no bestbuys, no GAME's, no Gamestops, this is madness
if game does close down there is no other main game stores, would be awsome if gamestop game to the UK
There are Gamestop's in the UK, there only in big shopping centers though.
They aren't in the UK. Gamestop recently shut down in Northern Ireland... Gamestop is in Republic of Ireland. I'm guessing we have to shop in HMV.

Never Heard of 'Game' but from the looks, and comments it seems like an awesome gaming store. It would suck to see it close for people in the UK :(
