Talk about the ultimate in ***** slap. It appears as though the video game retail chain GAME, over in the UK and Ireland, is refusing to stock and sell the highly-praised Oblivion on the PlayStation 3 -- you know, that game that racked up a ton of sales and critical acclaim last year. From GamesIndustry:

Leading High Street retailer GAME is refusing to stock copies of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PlayStation 3. The title, developed by Bethesda and published on the Sony console by Ubisoft, is not available in any of the company's 400 UK and Ireland stores.

Officials from GAME have not commented on the issue. Can anyone here imagine why they wouldn't want to stock this game? It makes no sense.

Wow, odd.

well that's going to be a hit to them, thats the main store in the uk, (they bought the UK chains of EB in 1999)

WTF is wrong with them. Honestly why would they not keep this game in stock. Unless they want to make people keep coming to the store to check to see if they have it and hope that they'll buy other stuff while they're there but that doesn't make much sense either. It's in the top 5 for the UK this week as well.

Since it's one of the top sellers in the UK for the PS3, it doesn't make sense for them not to sell it. What are they trying to accomplish by this.
