Hmmm, is it not kind of sexist that there is a girlgamers thread? Equality anyone?

Why not? She's not interested? Well, maybe Mario Kart could be something you play together, fun for all!

If 247gamer manages to get over her addiction, and it is for the best, then we'll share 'em But we'll have to chip our Wiis, she seems to be from America

Oh, unless we get our hands on the Freeloader that will be coming soon! Anyone interested in getting that?

Sorry about the sexist comment, i didn't read the first thread. Please accept my apologies. And about MarioKart... my girl hates videogames. We are starting to grow apart because it's a huge part of my life. She won't even join in for my daily 1hr wii tennis exercise routine.

Welcome to the thread vertikal!
Too bad your g/f isnt interested in gaming, has she ever tried it out much, or are her interests just very different?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the whole site !

My boyfriend and I both love video games, he is into them more than me though.

The first console I got was a sega back in the 90s...I loved playing Wonder Boy, Mario and of course ALEX KIDD !
Since then I have had gameboys, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Playstation, DS Lite and a Wii. My boy has a PS2, Xbox and XBOX360.

I think there isn't that many girl gamers out there because a lot of the games are army games, shooting games, fighting games etc. I think thats why the DS Lite and Wii are so popular, more 'cuter' games and girlish games.

I remember playing, I think it was called "Alex Kidd in Miracle World". You had to find the miracle balls. After you thought you completed the whole game....you had to do it all over again Hahaha.

JB hifi is the place i recommend
even the preowned game is much cheaper, not like EB games who sells nearly in original price.

sometimes they offer limited low price for some games, i got my sonic and mario for 79, normally it's like 99 or something...

JB, Big W and Kmart have good deals, it definitely pays to shop around for games and Wii accessories (wiimote, nunchuk etc).

We have a weekly thread here with the current catalogue sales, saves time when comparing prices!!

Wow what a bargain!
Mind you if you compare ANYWHERE to EB your likely to find some sort of saving...

I usually buy my games at JB, but where i've just moved to we dont have one

So kmart and BigW for me when i get the cash!

They've been bad for a while. The only time i go near one now is with a catalogue in hand to pricematch a game JB doesn't have in stock

the last time I went into eb games the goofy guys that work there thought it was strange a girl buying games for herself. they even asked me if i was shopping for someone else, when i told them no its for me, they giggled and had a funny face.

i have not been back there

No, no. Not their catalogue, JB'S catalogue. I only go to EB to get them to pricematch another stores prices, lol.

Wow how rude of them. I've had morons over the years make stupid comments, I just stand up to them and ask them what they reckon is so funny etc.

Strange how they can never answer me. I went into EB Games about 2 years ago and asked them when Dreamfall was going to be released and they didn't know what I was on about, I snorted loudly "Thought the staff here were supposed to be gamers!" and walked out



The lesson here is clear, don't shop at EB Games
