It's troubling time for UK video game retailers, Game. They've recently announced that no EA titles will be stocked in their stores after console-only snowboarder, SSX. The sad news applies to Gamestation stores too.
It brings up the thorny issue of pre-orders. Both Game and Gamestation offered exclusive content in exchange for early customer enthusiasm. Now all those DLC codes are getting lost within the internet, like tears in the rain.

Just click the game name to get some advice: Mass Effect 3 , FIFA Street , The Sims 3 Showtime , Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 . Good luck with it all!
