Challenge Ann #2: Bringing down Gamestation
I have to congratulate Gamestation for responding to my email individually. Were I to work in the customer services department of an annoyingly marketed videogame retailer I don’t think I’d give stupid emails quite so much care or consideration.
But did I manage to bring them down? Or was all I got a fairly boring email?
Dear Ann,
Thanks for your recent enquiry. Everyone at Gamestation is working to deliver gaming for less this Christmas. The Gears of War 2 bundle that you mention is a great example – it launched at £79.99, reduced from £130 – and our customers loved it as it was a limited edition.
Fat Chris has been the Gamestation Christmas mascot for three years now and is much loved by our customers (there are several “Fat Chris” appreciation groups online). Gamestation is very proud to be an equal opportunities employer.
Yours Sincerely,
The Gamestation Team
What did we expect? That, I guess.
Thanks Gamestation! My rage comes and goes, so who knows when you’ll be back on my list, but for now, you’re in the clear.
Next stop – Operation Free Bar!
Ann

Jesus Christ, Ann. You got £50 off the price of that pointless tat, isn’t that enough? There’s no satifying some people.

Yes the used game mark up is equally evil, but at least they pay better than most shops and stalls, an there does seem to be a semblance of independance as you don’t see hapless parents being threatened with pre-orders and Strategy guides.
