GAME Says They WILL Carry Oblivion for PS3

Earlier today, I told you that GAME, a leading UK retailer, was refusing to stock the PS3 version of Oblivion. Now, CVG is reporting that the truth of the matter is not that GAME is refusing to carry the title, but that they cannot get any stock in it due to distribution issues. An Ubisoft spokesperson said, “As demand for Oblivion has been so high there may be some supply problems with Game and Gameplay, which is why it’s temporarily unavailable. However, it still is available elsewhere. Rest assured, Oblivion on PS3 is definitely out today in online and high street retailers.” So, I guess the real losers here are GAME, for their lost possible financial gain, and their customers, who have to search elsewhere for their Oblivion fix.
To be honest I think GAME is one of the worst retailers anyway, the ones in the South West are loosing out to the small independent shops that offer much better service.
