    Oops, I misread the question, Gamestop DO have a student discount, but it is a measly 5% and almost worthless (but I always claim it ;) )

    You just have to show your college ID, where as in the likes of HMV, you need a dedicated HMV Student card, which are in limited supplies at the start of the academic year. Their discount is 10%, which is fairly decent. You just need to get your hands on the card.

    But, I'm still sure Game don't. They have a loyalty card as far as I know, which you have to pay for in the first place, and you need to accumulate points before you can get discounts/vouchers/whatever. Not worth it as far as I'm concerned, and nothing to do with being a student.

    GAME don't give any student discount,Gamestop give 5% off games and dvds but not off hardware,HMV give 10% off games,cds and dvds and Blurays but not off hardware.

    Well it will, you will be saving between 15 and 20 Euros.

    Could use that to getting a game or buying some drink :)
