The Last GAME store closes its doors on Sunday

The last remaining GAME Australia stores will close their doors this Sunday, July 8.

Administrators PriceWaterhouseCoopers confirmed today that GAME will cease to trade in Australia after the weekend, following the June 19 announcement that all stores would close Australia wide.

Most stores -- including the online shop -- have already cleared their stock with massive 60% of sales. Now it's just a matter of waiting until Sunday.

Walked past Westfield Strathpine the other day and there were more '60% off' posters than actual product. And they thought there was a need for three staff members to sell the 4 remaining games. Didn't bother.

Bought quite a few games a few weeks back from GAME. Such a shame they had to close all the stores.

Nintendo announced that they will be patching their Japanese life simulation game, Tomodachi Collection. One of the more controversial features of this patch is the removal of same-sex male relationships.

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
