GAME and price matching

Sorry if this is the wrong forum guys, do GAME price match in store and if so do they match "online" deals.

Any help gratefully appreciated-only asking as I couldn`t see any info on this on the website.

Cheers.

I may be wrong but I think they do price match online offers as well, my mate seemed to get them to match a price of the net, I am going in on Thursday to see if they will match Amazons deal on the X box halo,splinter cell deal so i can let you know if they do for sure.

I emailed Game last night to ask the same question. I wanted to now if our local store would match Plays` prices. I just got this reply earlier:

"Thank you for your email.

Our policy on our lowest price guarantee is as follows;

"We operate a lowest price guarantee, which means that we will match any local retailer on price for an identical product.

The price guarantee covers brand new products from any permanent retail store within a FIVE mile radius of your store, but does not refer to products that are offered via mail order. The product must be identical and in stock. All refund claims must be submitted within ten days and accompanied by a valid Game receipt. This does not apply to our mail order or web-site service, sale price or voucher promotions. We also offer our customers a ten day no fuss returns service, if you are not happy for any reason with your purchase, we will offer a full refund or exchange, subject to terms and conditions."

I hope this helps clarify our terms and conditions of sale, if you have any further queries please contact our Customer Services team on 0800 317778 and we will be happy to help."


So I guess not, they only match with stores withing 5 miles of the store your at. Which doesn`t mean a lot, cos if the other sotre `has it in stock` like it has to, then you may as well buy it there anyway.

Mark.

Hi I tried to get Game to price match Amazon`s deal, they do not price match the internet, but as i have the game reward card I got £7.50 back in vouchers for buying the x box with sega gt, radio jet set, halo and splinter cell and also got 10% off an extra controller so it really worked out the same, Amazon was £187.98 and game was £199.99, i suppose you have the added benefit that if the box don`t work ( like my mates did) then you can take it back to the shop without having to pack it all up and send it back to Amazon.
