Retail and Online Business

With the increasing use of the internet, people are turning to this massive resource to purchase their games for numerous reasons. Price is generally much cheaper when bought online when compared to typical store prices, and the products are delivered straight to the purchaser's door. Alongside the reduced RRP, some games even come with bonus DLC (downloadable content) or a free gift when ordered from a website. The appeal of buying cheaper, second-hand games has decreased slightly with the risk of a faulty/damaged product being bought over the internet, and with the popularity of buying online, the trade of second-hand games in stores is slowly decreasing. The amount of stores selling video games is slowly decreasing due to the popularity and expansion of the larger retail stores such as GAME and Gamestation, whcich are still as popular as ever.
