Well my reward cards never had more than £5 on, refused to buy from them as the price was more than £5 than else where to start!

But will they do the unthinkable and charge reasonable prices?
Only in a small sense, but I kinda wanted to see what effect them closing would have on the industry and market, the supermarkets had already put out statements and promotions with Tesco calling itself the home of games!

Wonder if this will end up with a government buyout and Richard Branson buying them after...

Originally, there were Virgin game stores. I bought my copy of Rise and Decline of the Third Reich ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_and_D ... hird_Reich) from one in London.

I never remember it being Virgin game store, there was a Virgin Megastore, but that sold games, dvds, cds and even their PAYG mobile phones (and Virgin Cola) _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
