I enjoy shopping in my local Gamestation, but it doesn't always carry what I want in the pre-owned section. So I decided to have a search if they had an online site. Yes they did. I had a look. Lovely site, reasonable prices, simple to navigate and understand, and they also had just what ... Read review
I used to be an avid fan of the gamestation chain but a recent experience with the company has left be cold. I went in to buy a wii fit which they claim to have in stock and for sale at £69.99.
Gamestation totally refuse to sell the wii fit by itself at the advertised £69.99, They insist you buy an additional £50 - £60 worth of additional "bundled" products.
The problem is the so called wii fit bundle consists of a non nintendo product, and 2 software ... ...This is tantamount to extortion. At this time of year when store supplies are short and people are desperately trying to fufil peopels christmas lists and money is short for a store to exploit customers like this is disgraceful.
When pressed on the issue a spokesman for the store summed it up with "we have them, and if you want one you buy what we want to sell it with or you dont get it" ...

Advantages: Reliable. Did what they said they would. Only paid RRP for Wii fit Disadvantages: Delivery company would only tell you which day they were coming, not what time
I recently bought a wii console and wii fit from gamestation. They only charged the RRP (unlike most sellers these days who are charging significantly more for the wii fit). I got emails when the order was despatched and it arrived as promised within a few days. The only problem I had was that the delivery people only informed you of the day of delivery but not the time (although it was possible to change it by text easily) so you potentially had ...

Advantages: Good Offers - But can they deliver? Disadvantages: Lies, Poor Delivery, Poor Communication etc
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 ... ...this is where the service began to fail in my opinion, as I received another e-mail on the 10th April, 14:47pm (Six days after the Order Processing e-mail) Informing me that the item Redsteel was out of stock and I would have to contact them to arrange for an alternative game to be sent.
As I read this e-mail at 16:00pm I did as advised and phoned Gamestation and provided the necessary details to one of the members of staff to view my order. However ...

Advantages: Fast delivery, good communication Disadvantages: None yet
Like many people this year I have been trying, with not much sucess to get hold of Nintendo's Wii console for my kids for Christmas. I have found lots of sites charging well over the odds for the console. I was lucky enough to visit Gamestation's website when they actually had some in stock. I placed an order for a bundle deal with games and accessories about 9:30am. I got an email straight away confirming the order and the online section is easy ... ...half expected an email saying the order had been cancelled as I had already encountered this problem twice with two other online shops from the same large High Street Chain. Next morning I had had an email about 4am saying the order had been dispatched and later another with a tracking number and link so I could check its progress. It arrived just before 9am. Amazing service, why can't more stores be like this. Delivery in less than 24 hours on such ...
