Nobody seems to know what the hell they're doing here. I ordered a game and asked for a refund after the disc didn't work on my console. Simple enough I would think. Gamesation, on the other hand... more

    4 Stars Get on down to Gamestation! 15/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Frendly staff, lots of pre-owned games.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Because I'm female I don't know about games?

    My review is based on Gamestation, Harlow, Essex. Our Gamestation is not very large in size at all but is very well stocked considering. They stock the usual consoles (Wiis, Xbox 360s, PS3s etc) and all of the games and accessories that go with these consoles. They have new sections and pre-owned sections which are clearly marked with header cards at the top of each wall display. I generally find that most of the pre-owned games that have only recently come out are only about £5 cheaper but this is still a saving none the less. They will allow you to trade in games for cash or credit, I ... more

    4 Stars Good shop for gamers! 20/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Trade ins, preowned games are cheap, quite good customer service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite small stores, not the best selection of games

    Gamestation is a video game store that sells both new and old games and a few other items. They sell games for all the major consoles and also sell retro stuff like GameCube and Play station 1 games. Their prices for new games are not very good and are roughly the RRP but the preowned games are good and are quite cheap. They do not sell as many games as Game as the stores tend to be smaller and the selection is not as good. You can trade in games here and they guarantee to beat any other price by a £1 which is very good and means they are the best place to trade games in. You get more if you ... more

    1 Star Worst Company ....Ever 20/04/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages NONE - I used to think customer service helpline was good....

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor everything else

    On Wednesday, 4th April 2007 11:09am I placed my order for a Nintendo Wii with Sonic the Hedgehog, Zelda, and Redsteel, at the time stated they were all in stock on the website. My card transaction went through smoothly and the order was accepted. Following this, on the 4th April 2007 13:00pm I received an e-mail stating that my order was being processed. So far so good, everything was going as I'd hoped for an internet order and was hoping to receive my Nintendo Wii & Games for the weekend. However, this is where the service began to fail in my opinion, as I received another e-mail on the ... more

    1 Star This is why GAME is the best! 08/02/2008
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages None

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rubbish staff, Bad Pre-Order, Bad Consoles and pre-owned, Can they actually be bothered?!

    Being a great lover of all things gaming I'm always shopping around to get the latest games and consoles. There are quite a few different places to chose out there for your gaming purchases, some that focus just on games such as Gamestation and GAME and some that sell other things too such as HMV, Virgin etc. Gamestation has got to be the WORST on the Highstreet. Even though Gamestation is being bought my Game them leaving these stores as GS stores is a big mistake, every one I have been to the sales staff are useles and dont know what they are talking about. The stores always seem cluttered ... more

    5 Stars Best video game shop around Review with images 31/08/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent variety of games in stock, great trade in prices, still sells retro games

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The only con is they don't give you much for trading PC games

    When I saw this open about 2 years ago in my area, I was pleased that another gaming shop is there to rival once known as Electronics Boutique (now known as GAME). If you are thinking of trading your old games that you got bored of playing, didn't like or ones that you have completed, then go to Gamestation as they do a great trade in for you. I remember when my brother traded in a GameCube and 12 games for a silver PS2. I was astonished on how much he got for this - Wait for it...... - £230!! WOW! Now that is a great trade in price. Since then, me and my brother have been trading games in ... more
