UK retailer Game’s reported record profits of £36.4 million for the six months ended July 31, 2008.
Total sales across the group were up 64.2 percent, and 17.4 percent like-for-like.
“The business has performed extremely well with both turnover and profit growth throughout the group,” said Peter Lewis, chairman.

‘[Game's] proposition is centred around … our pre-owned offer’.
The quicker this nasty, bloated, middle-man, profiteering on trade-ins gets clamped on the better. Parasites!

Before buying Gamestation UK, the preowned market was pretty much the only thing bringing in money.

The clock is ticking on retail.
Practically every console has a built in store now. I wouldn’t be suprised if the new DS model has one.
