Heck last time I went in game at least 2 of the walls was purely 1 game - hard push? Meanwhile ASDA had more variety on the new stuff.

Its a sad day, even sadder when considering they ate up Electronic Boutique and Gamestation to kill the competition - thank you Supermarkets and Online (Both Steam and Webshops) for coming to save the day.

@Zimmy

It could be what they did with Rock Band - they actively tried to NOT sell Rock Band and its accessory's, instead trying to get people to switch their purchase to Guitar Hero games and peripherals instead because the mark up on them was worth more to them than customer loyalty.

The chart is made up of games that are worth more per unit, and the push is always for the high mark-up items, not the items that are the best / newest out - most gamers saw through this bull (like I did) and Game are now banking on Mom and Pop purchaser's, forgetting the current generation of Mom and Pop has grown up on games - its like they did a switcharoo with the supermarkets over here, I can get top rate games more likely to be in stock and at cheaper prices in Tesco than Game most of the time.

dammit - replied wrong place, replied in above thread about this threads comments.

To add to your comments Chris, the game could become a flash in the pan - but I don't think it will just die for 1 reason - its inbuilt clan system.

If you have a group of mates, who can work together (or get drunk together), your squad can turn the tide for you team - the games system of keeping clans together makes play with freinds even better (Even just during Beta).

I want to be in a clan in this game, I want to be part of a team, and winners at that. This means I will have to get good and be able to follow/give orders or see the direction they are going from just their gameplay - I have 3 mates with PS3's and we plan to get on there together.

I love the fact that it shows how behind the board controller is to the game is when he flicks the board at 1:36 (the board flicks round after the board is back in the straight position.) and how the caracter does a wierd glitch at 1:43.

So you haven't fixed your animation glitchs then Activision, lets see if this fixes its gameplay when its playable (if we can try before we buy at the retailers that is, not taking the risk without a taste of the reward.).

(until the Office of Fair Trading (UK) and EMCR (Euro) gets onto this and Action Replay + Datel both get a lovely payout)

Microsoft should have learned by now that monopoly pays until you land on someone elses square.

If you want to know more you can either watch the Eve Fantfest talk on the game from 1:07:00, for the actual gameplay video watch from 1:16:00 (thats 1hour 1mins in and 1hour 16mins in respective)

I recommend using youtues 'lights off' feature.

I have bought DLC, GTA's TLAD DLC is well worth it, but others....

Skate 2's unlock all? Horse armour?

Its Monkey business as they know its virtually impossible to try before you buy on these, its even more diabolical when said data is on the disc already, and just unlocked....

We need the rom hackers of the day to go through these discs and shine a light on what's in and out of these disc, and show up such gems such as Hot Coffee, 'Unlock DLC' (should be a free cheat, like its been for the last 15 or so years) & Street Fighter IV's DLC costumes already being on disc controversy's,

My opinion? send the disc to the company and ask for a refund as all wasn't given for the cover price, if you really want the game, re-buy it second hand, and enjoy the extra few bucks you saved while not letting the original company have your sale...

Hit the pocket, it hurts there..

Truth be told I don't think it was helped by the fact that EA are the delivery peeps for Rockband, and with Gamestop/EB's vs EA 'blackballing' (in UK at least) being in force, My local store put Rockband games behind the counter as 'ask for only' by orders of head office and GH3 - until World Tour came out - games and controllers in 'prominent placements' due to EA's lower profit margins for Gamestop (the distribution price for EA games are higher than others, and EA wont cut a deal.).

I went to 3 HMV's, a Zavvi, Game, Gamestop, Gamestation, Argos and PCWorld today, Argos and 1 of 3 HMV's had it on shelf (Bullring HMV - being the only one with AC/DC Live aswell) and Gamestop staff on counter wern't sure they had it (found out from friend who does later shift they did when first released but they only ordered small amount and never restocked.) - its like EA did a 'soft release' with gamestation(!) thinking it wasn't even out yet.
