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!

Only for buying second hand stuff mind, you can't buy new stuff using reward points.

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!

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)
