Advantages: Lots of choice so easy to find the best price

Disadvantages: Hard to shop around if you're in a hurry

In the last few years Durham has seen a big increase in the number of video game shops located within a small distance from each other.

We have Game in the Prince Bishops Shopping Centre, Gamestation in Silver Street and Grainger Games in North Road. Not to mention Argos, Woolworths, HMV, WH Smith who all sell video games aswell.

Now, I hear you say 'That's not a great amount of video game shops'. BUT the thing you have to remember is that you can get from one side of Durham City Centre to the other in 10 minutes. On Foot. Yep, we're a tiny place and as such there is always lots of choice to be had when buying a video game.

I find that Grainger Games is normally the cheapest option. They are a North East Games Shop, with 190 outlets all over the North East. They started in 1997 buying and selling pre owned games from a market stall in the Grainger Arcade in Newcastle.

While their stores are located in the North East only, they do have a website where you can buy new an pre owned games. www.graingergames.co.uk

I have also found that they offer good prices on trade ins, and as the pre owned games are cheaper than other shops anyway, it becomes a very good deal.

In summary, having so many video game shops in Durham works to my advantage. I shop around, get the best deal, and when the game has been finished I trade it in, again for the best price.

Summary: Lots of video game shops!
