Anyone have anymore info? I can't view anything to do with them as it's all filtered.

Wondering if it is worth me going after work to get some shizzle.

Apparently they have to raise a certain amount by a certain time?

Shares suspended today = probably going into administration very soon unless someone buys them (they can't even afford to pay their rent ATM).

I went to my local Game the other day to see if there was any cheap stuff but everything was normal apart from some 99p preowned games Was really dead and the 2 staff looked bored out of their heads.

The derby one wasn't reducing new controllers, and didn't have any anyway, but I picked up a pre owned for 25, was the best they had. Still 15 cheaper than a new one... does come with a 12 month warranty... Laughed in the guys face when he told me that, what use is it when they close?

My local gamestation were still robbing bastards today, its games own fault, selling 6 month old games that didnt sell too great for full whack when amazon etc where selling it for £20, and their staff always try to sell you shite, I remember going in to buy a driving sim, they suggested a need for speed, told them to fuck off, went to a independent store and was suggested forza 3, still play it now. And I once saw them suggest CoD for a old woman who asked for a game for her 5 year old grandson who likes spiderman and that, and then he tried to blag her with a newer xbox360 because his one was white.
