GAME and Gamestation into administration

[Doctor Diesel]

Soz if Larsson.

Both Sunderland stores to close today indefinitely as listed in the below link.

The first GAME and Gamestation stores to be shut after the chain’s entry into administration have closed their doors.

It is estimated that around 300 of the UK’s 609 GAME and Gamestation outlets will cease trading immediately, with the possibility of more to follow if a buyer is not found quickly.

One of MCV’s local stores, Gamestation in Enfield EN2, sadly shut its doors just moments ago. Enfield’s GAME store, however, remains open for the time being.

If you work for a store that has either been closed or has been told it will stay open, please let us know in the comments below.

UPDATE: We're hearing of confirmed closures of a number of GAME and Gamestation stores, with more coming in every minute. There has also been a report of Gamestation's flagship Birmingham New Street store closing its doors.

The games companies haven't done much to help matters by packing their own download clients in with their titles ala Steam & Origin.

True true. Wonder if there will be such a thing as a high street in 100 years time?
