Arrgh... EB had a big fat "50% off marked price" sticker on their GameCube copy of Sonic Riders (which at normal price is twice the cost of the same game on PS2 or XBox). So I took it to the counter to buy it and the guy behind the counter went "oh, must be a mistake. This isn't supposed to be half price!"

Grrr... anyways, EB ranting aside, has anyone in Sydney seen somewhere that's selling this game on Cube for $40-50 (you know, a REASONABLE price)?

You know legally you can demand the marked price. If the sticker was clearly on the box, make a scene! They love that... I hear.

That's another issue I wasn't sure about with nolife's post.

Anyways, I actually talked to someone from the Dept of Fair Trade, but apparently if they make a mistake like that they're OK provided they make sure it doesn't happen again (ie remove the sticker). I went back today and there was no sticker so... them's the breaks I guess. Still not shopping there anymore though.

Thanks for all your advices though. I guess I'll keep checking eBay and such.
