Game - What is their policy regards to price matching?

[Del Boy]

Just wondering if its a 'depends on the store' thing or not?

And who they will match with if anyone?

Also will they price-match Blu-rays?

[Ajay1986]

Well the one in York refuses to price match supermarkets probably because everything is cheaper in Tesco.

[Del Boy]

But they'll price match other stores and to what degree?

[VR46]

My local one won't match Supermarkets, HMV, Virgin or PC World, that policy is a waste of space imo.

[Del Boy]

Mine say they will only match Gamestation.

They dont consider Wollies as competition so wont do them, odd as i went back to wollies and bought the item, surely that makes them direct competition!

Mine say they will only match Gamestation.

Pfft. They might as well say: "We only match the prices given to us by GAME HQ.

[Del Boy]

What confuses me is its different in every store.

Just got to find a decent store.

The Plymouth branch once price matched HMV for me.

Gotta get that one in quotes.

Hold on, you say once, how many years back was this?

[RetroEd]

It wasn't that long ago actually. On a rare occasion when I didn't import, GAME price matched HMV's price of ?24.95 for Yoshi's Island DS. GAME had it priced at ?29.99.

Never really saw the point of price matching as a consumer, why didn't you just buy it in HMV? Game Reward points are hardly worth anything.

Also, have to laugh at them price matching Gamestation, its the same company!

[Del Boy]

Have they actually bought them?

I had a fiver's worth of points that I had built up, so they matched the price then took the ?5 off.

[VR46]

Have they actually bought them?

Yep, about 3 or 4 months ago.

In which case I salute you money saving skills
