Just a couple of decades ago, at the beginning of the 90’s, the game consoles and video games they were limited to a few options: SEGA or Nintendo, arcade or action, one or two players…. Most of these items were sold in general appliance stores, or in computer stores filled with beige computers and post-apocalyptic-sized mice. A store like Game.es was almost a utopia, and even more so if it was an e-commerce site.

Game.es: A universe of bits within another

is a self-referential website, almost Escherian: a universe of bits in the form of eCommerce that contains dozens of other digital universesunder the guise of adventure games, sports, arcade, simulators, game consoles desktopmobile devices, downloads… The Game.es catalog is so huge that it contains objects as little technological as t-shirts, books, figures or board games. Game seems designed by and for gamers.

However, and despite the fact that it is not difficult to find what you are looking for in Game.es, it does give the feeling that the browsing experience can be improved. The fact that it does not have drop-down menus with all the options, like its rival , or that it is structured in specific minisites for each console, can cause something of confusion among users who enter your eCommerce for the first time.

The product sheets on Game.es are very complete, with extensive descriptions, opinions, ratings, videos, images… though the design can be improvedwith strange white spaces and text written in a font that is too small and gray.

Good shipping management… and expensive payment management

One of the strengths of Game.es refers to its shipment managementoffering diverse and very economical possibilities adapted to the conditions of (almost) all its clients:

• Express delivery: 48 hours, €4, free from €60 via or TNT
• Standard delivery to home or office of: 72 hours, €2, free from €30
• Picked up at the store: Free, variable term depending on the availability of the product

When it comes to paying, Game.es also offers several possibilities, although with uncomfortable cost overruns for customers. Thus, payment through PayPal implies a cost of 1.5% of the amount, while in the case of payment cash on deliverycustomers must pay €3.5, in addition to the purchase price.
