GAME.NET Launches In Stores!
13/03/2003 15:32:51 by Jonny


GAME.NET CD-based Subscriptions will be available in GAME stores from Friday March 14th - the day GAME.NET is officially launched.

The service, which offers a range of premium features for PC gamers, will be available to PC gamers for a Subscription fee of £24.99 per annum. A quarterly £9.99 Subscription package is also available. GAME Stores will be offering both packages bundled with a range of half-price games.

As a thankyou to current Subscribers, who have signed up since the service quietly went live last August on BarrysWorld.com, GAME will wipe the slate clean and renew all Subs from Friday March 14th for a year - which means early adopters will get up to 7 months free!

You'll need a GAME Reward Card to purchase the CD - which includes demos, a guide to online gaming and everything else you need to play online - but non-Reward Cardholders (or those that simply don't fancy a trip to the High Street) can easily sign up online.

If you are a current subscriber this is the day you've been waiting for, so get the welcome mats out...and remember kids, play nice!

Surprise!
Or something

 

[leggy]

May the filling begin...




please.

 

[S-Gray]

Game?

This the same thing? heh

 

[cjravey]

Yeah, the subs is available in two flavours - 3 months and a year. The 3 months flavour is a nice surprise we've offered; the introductory offer was for a year only as you recall.

GAME.NEt can be bought in stores, as our customers would usually buy a game, online as they'd normally buy a game or they can sign up online. In other words it's making it a comfortable package for people however they want it so we get lots of people playing with you guys

Lucky them...are they fully braced for this?

Should be a good thing, and 7 months free...I'm not going to cry about that, am I?

 

[Lester]

But I don't want to play with them. They might be bigger boys. Can't we stay as we are?

 

[ECA]

NEWBIES TO OWN! FULL CS SERVERS!!!!!!!!

[cjravey]

Some people like playing with bigger boys...

 

[Embattle]

Does this mean I have to change my favourites to this game thing

My BW Fave shortcut has spanned Operating Systems and Internet Explorer versions, and now I have to change it :scared:

 

[Lester]

Can I cancel in September and have £8 instead?

 

[Will]

Stop being old and bitter...install UT and come get spanked by TdC (likely) and me (unlikely).

 

[dangerousbry]

Hey If You buy the C.D from one of the stores you can also get selected titles for HALF price...

How cool is that

I know this as i just spent 2 hours putting them on the shelf )

I ordered online a GAME reward card for £2 about 1wk-10 days ago now. I've still not received an actual card, just a receipt note through the post with no actual details of my membership.

Should I expect an actual plastic card or something through the post soon? I was going to sub to BW ASAP but wanted to sub for £13 with the card...now I havent got the card yet, have been billed but find the new sub rate is £25 regardless? :?

Good luck with Game net tho - this is what we need. SOmeone tell me I should be getting this card or I've wasted a couple of quid and will order again.

SOrry to sound like a moaning tart btw - I think the announcement is good

You should have received a card. On the letter you received does it have Game customer services phone number? If so give them a call and they can sort it for you. If you dont have the number it is on http://www.game.uk.com/

 

[Xtro]

Thanks a lot DBs m8. No number on the letter, I'll check that URL and give em a ring. Glad I wasnt waiting longer, ta very much.

 

[throdgrain]

Just read the email . Hooray !

 

[Xtro]

Ahh just rang GAME cs...the say I will receive the card 21 days after ordering it online. Speedy

 

[~YuckFou~]

[Lester]

Whilst the BarrysWorld website continues to exist, we've shifted our focus to our new site at http://play.game.net

When I ordered my GAME card online, I was given a number at the time I could use for my BW Sub, I didn't need the actual plastic in front of me iirc.

 

[Summo]

This is all good stuff. Nice work, chaps.

 

[Happy Go Lucky]

Has game sent out the reward vouchers yet, I didn't get mine last time, the trend may continue

 

[Ch3tan]

Hooray! May be I will be greeted by full servers on my return.

On another note http://www.barrysworld.com/services/IRC.asp < Shouldnt that now contain a link to the game webchat application?

Hope it all goes well.
