I'd say GAME are fuming. Gamestop have opened up about 3 doors down from them!

Fair play to Gamestop though. In tough times they've been extra aggressive against Xtra-Vision & Game. They're killing high street brands in the states, and are likely to do it here.

Ok, to be honest, whenever I have went into there shop on henry street the exact same 360 titles have been a lot cheaper in either HMV or Game. I don't think they are that aggressive in a price war on many titles and I've never bought anything out of there because it's cheaper just a minute walk away.

Gamestop are usually the worst game shop, complete rip off most of the time.

I must say i've never really found them all that cheap tbh. That 50% for the first 10 customers is a good deal though. i wanted to get a Wii for awhile. pity they aren't doing it in cork
