Gamestop to close Irish operations

Anyone remember that shop "Game"

Had like a purple exterior. That was amazing. Loved visiting there

Was that on everything though? Pokemon cards were still 10% on Friday and still showing up as 10% online.....I'm all about the pokemon cards 😂

I picked up a few of the silver tempest folders last week at 10%off, as I haven't seen them anywhere else, and I had a 50 euro voucher.

Even with 20% off it does work out cheaper than smyths but marginally, but a saving is a saving.

When the Henry St store close few mths back was up to 70% off stuff in store

Must do. Thanks :)

No Gamestop was number 16 Henry Street not number 18

So it's closing the last day as argos. Their website closes in 9 days time

I absolutely loved Game. Best games shop we ever had, let's be honest it was.

Especially talking around late 90s and early 2000s. Nothing but games and no other stuff. You'd walk in and new releases would be on the stand (at least in my local) you could wonder around checking out all the games from different consoles. Even had a great pc section.

I have some random fond memories of it. Such as being a kid and two staff members in the grafton street store playing greatest heavyweights on mega drive on the TV. I also remember buying deus ex for pc for next to nothing brand new. Ah sure could probably list dozens of memories.

Shame they left Ireland. I was in the Belfast store over a year ago and they had funko pops and other guff too. That's just the times I guess. But what a shop back in the day.

They recently withdrew from the Swiss market. All stores have become a CeX type shop called GameLife. GS also operate in Germany, Austria, Italy and France (under Micromania). Can't see the Italian stores closing as they are everywhere there and seem genuinely popular

I've had a disaster of an experience with GameStop today. I had ordered an Xbox one S with 2 games on their website.

I got a shipment confirmation today for only the 2 games. Then I got an email saying GameStop have cancelled my Xbox One order and are refunding me the money for just the Xbox one.

So it appears they're sending me 2 Xbox one games with nothing to play them on which is stupid. I obviously don't want the games if I have nothing to play them on. I got in touch with GameStop saying I want to cancel the order of the 2 games and want a refund for them aswell but so far they haven't replied. When I put the items in the cart it was one complete order with an Xbox one console and the 2 games so anyway I'm very disappointed. Their website is a shambles really. You shouldn't be able to order items that are out of stock.

Also they shouldn't send 2 games without the console to play them on, the whole transaction should have been cancelled. It's just really lousy. I'm very frustrated with the whole thing.

Yep I just noticed their Gamestop support page was closed before I got to email them, the games are due to arrive on monday and their support is closed until Monday so it will be too late. The games were cheap but it just feels lousy to get 2 games, no console and so nothing to play them on. I feel a bit down about it really.

You have a 14 day right of return, no questions asked, on anything you buy online.
