Dear GAME,

Congratulations to your buying team and/or merchandisers at your Leeds Headrow store for making me a) laugh and b)  realise what kind of company you are.

Earlier today, I had every intention of splurging out and buying your ever-so attractive ps3 bundle with 4 games @ £250.00 BUT (there’s always a but) when I saw the price of the ps3 controllers you were selling, I thought to myself… “fuck that!” and promptly put the little plastic tag back on the shelf and walked out.

Why?

This is why.

Who are you trying to kid GAME?

At £51.99 I suspect one of three things:

1. Your store merchandiser is a dick.
2. Your store/head office buyer is a dick.
3. You’re trying to milk every last penny out of your customers (this makes GAME, as whole, a dick)

Well done GAME.

I can understand and appreciate that you’re probably making a loss on the ps3 bundle but why charge £15 more than your competitors for the controller? If you had priced the controller at say, Amazon prices, then you would have had £300+ of my hard (lol) earnt money. Fair enough, you would have lost a bit more money but you would have gained customer loyalty and trust. If you have charged a fair price for it, I would have bought it. You’d have given me points on my GAME card and everyone would have been happy, but no, you didn’t – you fucked me off.

Your buyer probably had to make up losses on the ps3 bundle and thought “Hey, I know! What good is a ps3 with just one controller? Let’s fuck over the customers and make them pay for the second.”

How many people do you think abandoned their shopping basket because of the controller price? I bet quite a few.

Any self-respecting game enthusiast would have to be a fucking moron to pay that price.

Well done GAME on fucking up what was a great deal.
Sack the buyer. Sack the merchandiser and start again, please.
