According to this MCV story, GAME managers have been buying up discounted stock at Sainsbury's to sell on at their own stores.

“With 360 and Wii on sale at these prices we allowed our store managers to supplement their stock by buying consoles from their local Sainsbury’s,” explained GAME boss Lisa Morgan.

“Availability was very inconsistent, but on the whole it was a worthwhile exercise. Our strategy is centred on giving our customers choice, good value and having the best possible availability going into the Christmas period.”
