Supermarkets start FIFA 10 price war






Several of the UKs big supermarket chains have begun offering FIFA 10
for up to half its recommended retail price, with Tesco currently
selling the game for GBP 24.97. Released today, the game comes with a RRP of GBP 49.99, however Tesco,
Morrisons and Asda are all selling at vastly below that price.
Tesco's deal is the cheapest, but its two rivals are pricing
the game competitively with Morrisons offering it at GBP 24.99 and Asda
GBP 26.71. In addition to the supermarkets' low prices for FIFA, Argos has
undercut the majority of online retailers with a FIFA 10 Xbox 360 Elite
bundle which comes also with a free copy of Halo 3: ODST. At GBP
197.77, the two game bundle is cheaper even than the standalone 360's
RRP of GBP 199.99.

Game Crazy to shutter 200 stores in October






US retailer Game Crazy is to close 200 of its approximate 680 stores at the end of October.
According to the company, the move is designed to eliminate those that
are currently underperforming, a situation it puts down to the poor
economic climate.
"Movie Gallery Inc is currently operating in an unprecedented consumer/retail environment," a spokesperson told Joystiq.
"In order for us to continue to best serve our millions of customers
across North America we're addressing underperforming stores and
ensuring that there is sufficient [return on investment] associated
with each of these stores going forward.
According to sources working at Game Crazy stores attached to
Hollywood Video locations, the rental chains will remain open after the
shuttering of the retail businesses.
In 2006, Game Crazy stores contributed 13 per cent to Movie
Gallery's total revenue, derived also from its Movie Gallery and
Hollywood Video outlets. The company suffered further financial
difficulties in 2007, when it was forced to close 520 stores and file
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
