GAME Group has been purchased for a nominal sum by the private investment group OPCapita?
OPCapita will take on the remaining assets of the troubled group and has so far not indicated any further job losses or store closures, some staff initially made redundant at the Head Office have been re-hired.
The use of GAME Loyalty cards and Gift cards has nnow been fully reinstated, if you have a GameStation specific rewards card and no longer have a local GameStation you can visit any GAME store to have these points transferred to a GAME reward card.

This is apparently only for the reward cards, if you have gift cards with credit still on them, then hold out for more news.

» GAME Group officially in Administration |

GAME Group has officially gone into Administration today though continues to trade, what does this mean?
Well, read below for more info but personally I would avoid placing any pre-orders or online orders with them and only shop in-store. Be wary of purchasing second hand/pre-owned items from them as they may only be under warranty with GAME or GameStation and not with the OEM.
Buyers are sniffing around the group but it's likely that only the best parts of the business would be packaged off and sold and many job losses will still occur.
UPDATE: It has been announced that 277 of their UK stores will close with immediate effect. (List here Thanks Pulse.)
These closures mean that so far 2,119 jobs will go at Game Group.
