Blockbuster launch new VIP Gamer scheme

Blockbuster have launched a new VIP Gamer scheme, which gives gamers points when they make purchases in store or online. With 100 points available per £1 spent, you can also claim points by entering competitions, rating games or simply watching game trailers on the Blockbuster website. Players can redeem their points against various in-store or online offers.

Better get saving to get that PS3!!

Current offers include a chocolate bar for 850 points, a can of Relentless for 1,500 points, a free game for 85,000 points, and if you want a free PS3, you will be expected to redeem the princely sum of 450,000 points! So you better start collecting! It’s a cheeky move by Blockbuster to capture some of GAME and GameStation’s customer base, and it will be interesting to see how the new regime at GAME will respond to this shot across their bow.

I've been addicted to gaming since my parents bought an Atari console way back in the 70's. I progressed to the iconic Speccy, Amiga, and all the Playstation platforms. Having seen games evolve from single pixel bat and ball, to HD constructed environments, gaming has changed much from my early years. Having defeated the rock hard R-Type on the Speccy, the biggest challenge I've faced so far is putting up with the hordes of American teens spouting abuse in the current generation of consoles, noob indeed!
