Indeed a quick visit to their website (www.gamestation.co.uk) shows that there is a tremendous range of Dreamcast and Saturn titles for sale... only there isn't! Very few of the titles advertised are in stock... Much like the stores it seems they're running down the stock in preparation for discontinuing sales. I get regular emails from them with a store page attached and the pages they send out make no mention of retro systems. It seems the plot thickens...fatherkrishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523813350137435244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-57290298107360472812008-04-18T14:38:00.000+00:002008-04-18T14:38:00.000+00:00Sheesh I still can't believe this.I mean I thought...Sheesh I still can't believe this.<BR/><BR/>I mean I thought K-B toys was bad when they just let their Dreamcast stuff sit around at full price until 2004.<BR/><BR/>At least K-B and Gamestop let their customers have a small chance to buy the games at a greatly discounted price!!!!<BR/><BR/>I don't see how selling the games on the website will help them after considering how much shipping all those games is gonna cost.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238261299098657382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-75583569169589288152008-04-18T14:00:00.000+00:002008-04-18T14:00:00.000+00:00Just went up to my local GS and asked them about t...Just went up to my local GS and asked them about this rumour. From what they know the retro stock is being sent over to a warehouse where they will be sold on their website. This doesn't necessarily debunk the rumor completely but it's a little bit of reassurance at least.Animated AFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550837973910959680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-46995664044316369142008-04-18T10:36:00.000+00:002008-04-18T10:36:00.000+00:00Last Christmas my local Gamestation's retro stock ...Last Christmas my local Gamestation's retro stock suddenly vanished. I asked a staff member what had happened to them and he said they were just storing it away until around Feb, so the new stuff could sell better. Come Feb the retro stock was still not there so I asked again. They told me they weren't going to stock retro anymore, but nothing about BURNING any of it! That's just disgusting.Animated AFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550837973910959680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-79519583152140428962008-04-18T09:40:00.000+00:002008-04-18T09:40:00.000+00:00FK - Frankly awesome post.

Ive done a lot of travelling up and down the UK in recent months and have always made the effort to pop into branches of Gamestation whenever I can. ANY form of retro gear is now a rare sight. It might as well just become GAME or HMV. Last hope? eBay and car boot sales. Gamestation/nazi Germany. Whats the difference?Tom Charnockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05593308178739317252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-61768449777748861392008-04-18T02:52:00.000+00:002008-04-18T02:52:00.000+00:00Not that i have anything against GOW by the way.
