We had 2 GAME and 1 Gamestation within 50 yards of each other and I did ask the area manager about it before they fell over and he said that is how the higher ups wanted it.

When they went under they apparently owed something like £180million in back rent on their shops.

And our HMV is closing our local store following the Waterstones next door.

That has annoyed me as I used Ottakars which was a lovely small chain bookstore. HMV came and bought them up swapped them with a Waterstones they were sold off and our shop closed and now HMV is following.

So now we have no bookshops at all and I now have to buy them online or at conventions. As a lot of the smaller indie publishers will book launch at them.

UPDATE
Just had a reply from Lovefilm about the PS4. Apparently they are in talks with Sony and the other publishers and they will email me when I can add PS4 games to my wish list.

Mate may I suggest you check out shopto.net for all your gaming needs,they are a brilliant online retailer and I would not think of using anyone else but them.

Not only do you get your stuff early like game releases,they have never in 3 years failed me yet.

Now if The Last Of Us fails to turn up tomorrow I will be livid

Did not want to mention shopto on the forums again and I tried to send you a PM but you don't want to receive them when I tried.

Love film is owned by Amazon and I would not trust or use either,I'm guessing you want to buy your games for your playstation from here.

Now if The Last Of Us fails to turn up tomorrow I will be livid

Me too mate. I got my photograph at half four this afternoon, so it could be touch and go.

If it doesn't arrive there'll be ruptions!

Shopto/Amazon/Zavi/Gamestop etc theirs quite a few for discs and for downloads you have got quite a few good stores so their is still plenty of choice.

In reply to a post by mrnelster:

Cheapest way to pay when I joined was £39.99 annually if you paid up front, or £17.99 a month if you paid quarterly. I think they have just announced a monthly sub in the US of $10, so expect something similar over here.

Just pay the lot up front and then download Drive Club for free and you're in like Flynn SPOOK. You will then be able to spectate me chasing t2d around in Tourette mode.

Ha. Cheers. £40 a year sounds good to me.

Tourette mode? Sounds like a - fuh, yargh, cahooo nuhhh uhhh tuh fun! Yeah like fuh fuh fun to me.

Maybe it's cheaper to pay for PS+ with an American account??

If you have a credit card and valid US Address then you can do that but if you haven't then you can not.

I used to buy games from the US store but it was a system similar to Paypal at the time but i forgot what its called,sort of a cloned credit card where you add funds and can then use it to buy from the overseas store.

I gave up shortly after as this system was withdrawn and a lot of the stuff if not most requires a Credit card for that particular country.

Did your copies of the last of us arrive today?

Yes, just got in and it was on the floor waiting for me.

Don't know why I was worried to be honest, they've never missed a release day yet. There normally early though. Unfortunately I've now got to make a dash to the John Ratcliffe in Oxford to help someone out, so I won't get on it till at least ten tonight. Grrrr!

Yeah mines here and i could not resist a quick play but found it hard not to continue,awesome game and lives up to all the reviews and hype.

Be back on later this evening for sure.
