GAME has tons of money as a franchise, they aren't a new store worldwide. I can't see their prices changing, they probably have a set price for every store. The points system doesn't make up anything near the amount of money you would waste by buying wisely.

Silence said: Do what i do when i want to buy something. Go to EB and "Price Match" for about $5-$10 less than you have seen it. I say GAME as the closest one is pretty far from my local EB.


Are you saying that they let you tell them what the prices are?
If so, my local EB Games requires a magazine with you to get the price-match.

the one thing I like about EB is that they let you return the game within 7 days if you don't like it =)

This one time I had a bad experience in a store, therefore the whole franchise is retarded. The logic I use is also retarded.

judging by other peoples experiences with the specific store I think my hypothesis of the entire franchise being retarded can be confirmed

I went to Myer and tried to get them to price match a wii so that I could get flybuys-but they said no because it was to cheap for them to pricematch. I was like 'wtf'?

i work in concession in david jones. i know how they operate.
procedure is

Find out what the competitors price is

call them up to see if they have it in stock

if so- give them the price the competitor is selling it for.

myer is pretty much the same.

I have always found Kmart and JB Hifi to be the best places (price-wise). Kmart both matches and beats any competitors price by 10%, so while JB might almost always be the cheapest Kmart will do it one better (not sure if Big W or Target do this, i'd say they would. I've been to GAME a few times but i can't justify the purchase of a Wii game for $110 when i can get it for $60-$70 elsewhere. Just don't shop there, soon they will either lower prices or go broke and maybe a nice new store will open there
