Unable to update BF3 after recent update? Here is your fix.

People are having issues updating to the latest Battlefield 3 patch for some reason the process of updating does not start automatically on the Origin Launcher. To fix this simply log in to origin and right click the Battlefield 3 icon, select "check for update" and your fixed.

If this does not work for any reason try closing your browser and origin and then load up origin first and repeat the process.

Hope this helped.

Spend your GAME Reward points while you can

Now that GAME has suspended share trading "pending clarification of the company's financial position" its practically official that GAME are going to disappear. Even if the rumoured Comet chain buy out occurs there will be major repercussions to GAME customers.The share price of GAME closed at 2.39p having been 62p the year before.

I would highly recommend you do not trade in any games as GAME will not honour reward card points if they go into administration, this has been proven with the countless other business's that have disappeared over the last few years taking customers hard earned reward points with them.

I actually hope GAME goes and goes soon they have had the complete UK market under their finger for years and have done nothing but abuse the power being greedy. They have aggressively damaged the games industry by pushing pre owned sales over new copies taking money directly off  game developers to aid their own greed.

From my own experience with GAME whom I have used alot I have seen them slack massively this year, my issues include:


  •  They changed the emails they send out with orders which are now totally unclear and borderline unprofessional compared with a company like Amazon. 
  • They stopped dispatching games before release date, before last year i got all my pre orders the day before release, this year I got three different games 2-3 days after the official release date.
  • No online customer service, I say none because I have never had a reply from games customers service. I used their online form on 5 occasions and never received a response to important issues I had had. One issue being me unable to purchase off the website as my address was apparently wrong, yet was unchanged. This thankfully fixed its self but took over 2 weeks to resolve.

If you fancy bargains by the way, I visited GAME recently and they are having massive price drops in everything. To give you an idea I found several games under a pound, some sonic game was 29p. They were even selling pre owned games that had no box cover on so clearly clearing all types of stock they can. Just remember your GAME reward points wont be honoured down the road so spend them now.

Farewell GAME.co.uk you had your chance and you blew it, here's to hoping a better company takes your place.
