While they are pretty much the only specialty retailer for games in the U.K. since their acquisition of Gamestation, they do have other competition for game sales.

Didn't know they'd bought Gamestation!

Doesn't leave much in the way of competition then - HMV, WHSmiths and the supermarkets.

Yeah, Game bought Gamestation, but the companies are still pretty much separate at the store level (I work at a GS).

On that note, GS are doing the same pre-order deal if you'd prefer to shop there.

Smiths and HMV aren't really competition, there prices are outrageous compared.

Only real competition now is online. Play.com is the best bet but GAME even have a stake in that.

I just use boomerang rentals now but ya, I'd prefer some competition over just game myself.

Any idea how many points?

Do any of those online stores ship games outside of the UK? Like to the U.S.?

I changed my pre-order to GAME last week when I heard about the offer. The site says 500 gamer points which I think is pretty good. I figure the DLC will be 800 when it commes out so it's only a few hundred points short of getting it free.

I presume your questions directed at me? Boomerang only ships within the UK but you guys have plenty of video game rental sites anyway.

Play i don't know about though, go to their site and find out.

@brownmurder: On the original GAME read link it only says Xbox Live Points in that banner image, but thank you for clearing it up.

Blockbuster will give you £5 off the game when you preorder. So if it comes out at 34.99, you'll only pay 30. No adverts or signs, but ask the staff.

You obviously don't check other stores the price is always better or you work for Game.

Lost Planet PS3:

Game £39.99
HMV £22.99
Zavvi £24.99

Devil May Cry Xbox

Game £39.99
Zavvi £29.99 Ltd Tin Edition...

GHIII

Game £74.99
HMV £59.99
Zavvi £65

The points Game are giving will not add up to the saving you could make buying elsewhere...
