Hamilton (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ML3+7AR&hl=en) and Kilmarnock (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=KA1+1PG&hl=en). So as a small North East chain they actually have almost 10% of their stores in Scotland! Maybe they should be a Scottish & NE England company... They're hardly amazing locations but those in Glasgow might find a trip down to Hamilton worth while... so that's about 1 in 5 Scots with access to Grainger's store (based on 1 million peoples around Glasgow!). Anyway I'll stop this blatant promotion of a shop I love... my local store is Benton or Whitley Bay...

Only one reason why i go into Game, One a friend works there so i get discount. Staff there are clueless, HMV staff are even worse though. Competition is always good.

If your part exchanging though....blockbusters everytime, they always beat Game and Gamestation on trade ins but ive never heard of Grainger Games....Hope they open one near Barnsley/Rotherham.

I've not bought any skinnies for quite a few years now. Edinburgh is braw just now & well worth checking out during the Festival - the whole world comes to us! Just like me! :)

They really do have competitive prices , most of the time , some of their pre-owned titles were a bit over priced but apart from that they were really good . The best bit about them :- • They actually knew what they were talking about and were completely non-biased • Everyting was rounded up to the pound so no unnecessary coppers ! :D I used to stay near Berwick a couple of years ago and I went to granger games all the time .

Prices have slowly crept up. And the shops have more than their fair share of Chavs. At least the one in Newcastle City Centre is.
