List of known Game/Gamestation stores closing

PWC have moved in sharpish and closed a few hundred stores already. 

The Rhyl Gamestation used to be good for the retro stuff - well, before their head office told them to burn most of it all a few years ago.

List has been updated.  There were 4 stores in Warrington: Game, Gamestation, Grainger Games and CEX.  That's now down to 3 as the Gamestation has gone.

Leicester had two Games and one GameStation, but only the latter has closed so far, not that any of them has had much it the way of retro-tech for a good while.  Gamestation was the furthest out from the main shopping hub in the centre, but as the two Game stores are within spitting distance I can't see the logic of keeping both.
