Game Price/Warranty Beat

I visited Game Gateway to pursue a price beat on a TV as a competitor had it cheaper. The sales men there advised that the TV in question was out of stock, even though it's currently on promotion nationwide. Apparently they don't know when they will get stock or if the manufscturer has any stock or if the manufacturer/supplier will open next week. I then emailed *** 3 hours before writing this review and no responce besides the automatic reply. The WhatsApp chat is having technical issues. The person/people that work on the WhatsApp chat line reply at leisure. Besides the in store sales representatives dismissing the idea once finding out it's a price beat as they probably will get little to no commission based on this and not offering any solutions or further feedback on stock is unacceptable. The WhatsApp chat line requested that the competitor needs to list the manufacturer warranty on their advert or they cannot honor the price beat. They say the had tried and couldn't get anyone to confirm so they're dismissing it. They want me to do their job because they need to see the standard manufacturer warranty displayed on a competitors advert so I must get they confirmed or disolayed on their advert before they can honor the price beat. Somebody needs to get this fixed and then make contact with me as I am not asking for something for nothing but simply requesting for Game to honor what they say. How can an American brand such as Walmart take over these types of stores when staff are not interested in their roles?

I have responded to an e-mail stating that Game does not want to honor the price beat. The person that responded to my e-mail wanted me to get the competitor's advert to match Game's advert but the competitors advert must display the lower price. Why does the Game website show different information as compared to what their "complaints" teams says? Someone from Massmart needs to communicate with me and straighten this out. Game and Massmart needs to publicly take away the "price beat" thing since they are not interested in doing it.

Hello Yashvir, Thank you for coming back to us. I'm sorry that your price beat request was not given due to the items not being identical. Our price beat terms and conditions state that the competitor's item should match our item, which you can view here: https://www.game.co.za/cp/we-beat-any-price

When last did you read those terms and conditions? It says that the item can be similar and it does not say it needs to be exactly the same. You do not want to honor the price beat due to the competitor not displaying or advertising the standard manufacturer warranty. Does thd standard manufacturer warranty differ by retailer?

Please read the terms and conditions and respond here instead of trying to call me so people can read about this and know that Game no longer does a price match

Please make yourself fami**** with the history of this before responding randomly. Game does not want to honor the price match because the competitor does not advertise the standard manufacturer warranty.

For in-store and online price beats please take note:
