There’s no official word from GAME Group on this, so everthing’s a little bit anecdotal (and I went for a sandwich rather than walking into town to check, sorry) but it’s all starting to match up.
Naturally, this seems be to branch specific, and by that I mean that some stores might be kicking out everything dirt cheap and others aren’t budging at all, but for some pre-owned bargains it’s probably worth a look.
Let us know in the comments or via Twitter what you find if you head down.
In addition, rumours are starting to emerge that it’s looking like some new (as in, not pre-owned) titles will be next to go on sale – everything’s being done manually by the store staff (which must be horribly demoralising for them) so timing might be important – and then we’re also hearing that pre-owned hardware might be on the cards too.
This won’t be new stock, so don’t get excited.
The stuff that’s stickered up on the back (like brand new PS Vita games) won’t be discounted, as they’re owned by Sony and various other publishers, but you might well find some treats, even if the games in question are a few months old or so.
At the least, Child of Eden and Vanquish are both apparently shifting for £2.98, which is a superb bargain if you’ve not got them already.
We’ve reached out to GAME’s PR company for details.

Got Brink, Alpha Protocol and Medal of Honour for £7 instore credit, with another 7 remaining I’ll save for any *really* good deals. Chuffed!

Let me know what you think of Alpha Protocol – Some people say its quite good & others say its a bit pants.
The heavy rain-esque choice system sounds good, but if the shooting is poor (which is apparently a common complaint) then i don’t think i could handle that.
Either way my friend, you have done well. :)

The choice system was awesome, but the combat aspect was indeed poor, it felt like a grandtheft auto game to me lol, but i did enjoy it.

I completed it way back dude, want to give it another go. Definitely worth a purchase, especially as I got it for £1.98 when last time I spent £20 and I’d recommend it at that price :)
Forrest_01
Yeah, you can’t really sniff at a couple of quid.

I’m heading in after work to have a spy around and see what bargains I can pick up. After reading these comments, I have high hopes.

Hopefully If I will be able to get the Circle Pad Pro for a decent price. Doubt I will get to town on saturday sadly though :/

I would go in and have a look, but I’m only 14 and most of the games I play are 15/18s which is a bit of a bummer.
Smallville2106
Not a good sign at all. Good for purchasers though.

Just got resistance 1 and 2 and brink for under £7 and got asked if I want to take out a reward card
Forrest_01
Lol – You should have. Would be good for at least another week! XD

Ive been to the GAME in Cardiff today. Some great prices, like Demons Souls for £10 and a few other games like Medal Of Honor for £2. I did want to get AC:R but that is still £30 new! The Vita games are also sticking firmly to their RRP. Lot of people in there though.

Just saying though if it wasn’t for their pre-owned sections GAME would have gone a long time ago. The cheaper preowned games there are the only things keeping them going.
