Company Description

Getting customers into the action without them ever leaving home is Gameplay's objective. The company sells new video games at discounted prices for popular platforms, such as the PC, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. Games from a variety of studios are distributed through Gameplay's Web site to European and other countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and the US. The company was a subsidiary of The Game Group, a software and game retailer in Europe that entered administration (the US equivalent of bankruptcy protection) in spring 2012. PricewaterhouseCoopers, which was named administrator, merged Gameplay with sister business Gamestation in a bid to sell the assets.
