What is within each WiFi? The Matrix?
Nice idea but i'd prefer it if they offset the cost of integrating Wi-Fi into their stores against their extortionate game prices. all that will happen now is people will use their internet to see how much cheaper it is everywhere else.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Free Wifi at game?
Well that's it, no point shopping elsewhere!

If they force a more realistic price in-store that is more in line with the on-line price would be a better idea, say £5 more for in-store vs game on-line shop if they cant manage that. On-line buy and collect from local store but still getting the lovely lower on-line price.
Great! I can use GAME's wifi to order far cheaper stuff online!
So they want to add more infrastructure cost onto their products, instead of making their stores more efficient to bring prices more in line with other retailers? Clever.
No thanks.
wonder how miffed they would be to watch you download something from steam while sat outside the store lol
Not been to a bricks and mortar games shop for ages now
... from someone a lot cheaper (like Amazon).BT was also happy to introduce GAME as one of its WiFi partners, stating that the service "will give gamers access to all the information they need to buy there and then.”
I know they're looking for ways to get folks into the new GAME stores, but this isn't it I'm afraid. I'm surprised that they didn't come up with something even more obvious - like a Click and Collect type arrangement. Or close some of the stores and try and partner with Waterstones to setup game areas in the book stores?

Free WiFi? How does that make anyone want to come back to GAME? Lower your prices and maybe have nicer staff then I'll come back.
Free wifi in store? no thanks I have steam, no need to be in there store.
Salazaar : <Touching wood as I write this...>
Haha some of these comments are legendary. However, for die hard Game customers such as myself. I think this is a great idea, but I don't see them making any more profit from it in all honesty.
I share your sarcastic cynicism.Originally Posted by shaithis
Free Wifi is definitely not an incentive to go back with GAME. Matching online price for games is one.
A coffee shop yes, a game shop with no seats or reason to *need* wifi instore though?
Went into one tonight, wifi network is on but no connection yet. I genuinely was looking for prices from other places including using the HMV replay app to see who'd I'd get the most trade in from!
Hehehe that's genius!
