Is GAME UK refusing to stock The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion?
Just recently, the PS3 version of Bethesda‘s award-winning RPG, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, was released in PAL territories. This event has, of course, sent many PS3-owning fans running to stores to get a copy, but there may apparently be a problem with this picture. As Games Industry reports, it seems that the high street video game retailer GAME, either has not, or refuses to stock up on copies of the said video game title.
Despite having already gone on sale since April 26, it appears that all of GAME’s branches across the UK and Ireland do not carry the title. Many find this odd, as a large retail chain such as GAME would have already had stocks of a game prior to its release, especially if the game is a popular one.
Upon checking the GAME website, though, we have also found that Oblivion is currently listed as “out of stock”, as shown in the screenshot we have here.
So… since the Xbox 360 and PC version of Oblivion seems to be available, does GAME have some hard feelings towards Ubisoft, the publisher of the PS3 version of Oblivion? Do they dislike Sony, after that incident that they had with that infamous store sign that they had from last month? Or did their shipment of discs of Oblivion for the PS3 simply get lost or hijacked somewhere along the way?
GAME is yet to issue a comment about this matter.
