277 GAME stores shuttered, 40% of workforce let go, gift cards suspended
The remaining 333 stores will stay open and try to continue business as normal while administrator Price Waterhouse Cooper continues to seek a willing investor. If a buyer can't be found, more closures will occur.
Beyond shuttered storefronts, GAME has also implemented a list of policy changes that will impact customers. The sketchiest changes include the suspension of gift cards and GAME reward cards. The company will also no longer take pre-orders and "no refunds can be given for any pre-order deposits which have been paid."

Ohh wait... just after I typed this I went to the Gamestation website, to find out their part of the Game Group. Looks like Amazon's gonna be the best way to get games now :(
Amazon or play.com, the game and gamestation websites are both down.
