umm ya stole the obvious, they have gone down the tube. They treat the customer like an idiot (in my experience) when generally they no less than the customer. I remeber wen Blazing Angels came out on the 360, i had a preorder at EB, i saw it at Target, so i thought oh it must be at eb (same shopping centre) so i asked and he said that it had been pushed bak a few weeks, i said i saw it in target, he said that i couldnt hav and it was a demo box. So i cancelled my preorder and went to target and bought it. Then i went bak to eb and showed him. It was a happi moment.
I still cant think of anythin E and B is hard!!!

Hello we got an EB fan in the house.

Do you know when you enquire about the Wii they tell you "yeah yeah you get wii sports ABSOLUTELLY FREE when you pre order at EB"

E.B stands for Shifty Dirty Lowlife Cheating Scaming RATS!!!
sure it doesnt fit the acronym but it certainly fits the employees and their ethics!!!

EB are great to me. They like know me, lol. They sold me Doom 3 on Xbox a week before the release, not to mention all the freebies and stuff. I don't buy games anywhere else, even if they're cheaper.

It seems to be a great divide either they are really good or really poor.... this kind of inconsistancies within stores makes them all the more terrible.....

ps iddqd you cant say xbox here everyone will get mad at you and might crack the sads

How does that make them more terrible?! Where is your logic? So you're saying you'd rather all EB stores be all bad then a few bad and a few good? My EB is the best, know the guys that work there, they know me, it's awesome.

It makes them terrible cause when you see the eb logo you really dont know what your getting yourself into. If they were all terrible i could give them a wide berth. Thats my logic fanboy.

The 3 i use, Whitfords, Perth (the worst i have been 2) and Karriyup. Karr, is now closed and it was by far the best. Whitfords was alright but none of the orignal staff are there and now they are useless. Joon has just opened and seem alright. Ocean Keys i been to once. Mirrabooka is fantastic. (I am talking WA) But i hav found that there stock levels can be shocking. I dont know if they are all going on Pre-Orders and thats all there getting but this was neva the case. I went to Joon, Whit, City and Mirrabooka, 2 days after FIFA 2007 was released. Only Mirrabooka had. At the same time i was also looking at the Flight Sim. But Joon had Normal and Mirra was the onli 1 with both. At the same time every Kmart and Target i went to had stock. I also find EB more expensive on 360 games then the larger department stores (Kmart BigW Target), and instead of getting them to match i just buy it from there (cause i am there). I use EB to trade now and thats realli it.

They probably closed the good one cause they werent ripping people off and was causing the bottom line to drop. You really never know what your going to get at EB.

I think it closed cause Karrinup is REALLI upmarket. And it realli didnt fit in there. It was 1 of the first ova here and about a 30min drive from my house

Yeah I know I've been to 3-4 different EB stores more than once in Melbourne and none have tried to rip me off (which is hard for them because it's not a small business and they have to do everything at the price they're given) and none have treated me like an a$$

The EB I goto (Winston Hills, NSW) is a good one, I had one staff treat me like I knew nothing (whereas I probably knew more then him), but that was it.

I dont think they treat ya like an arsehole. I just think that they have gone from the onli place where ya go and they know what there talking about, to the same as the electronic section of Target. I hav been in there a few times and heard someone tell sum1 the wrong thing. EB rip ya off everyday. I cant believe the price they sell there preowned stuff for. Saints Row new is 119.95 (109 at the department stores) and EB sell it preowned 99.95, i cant believe that. And they prob give ya 20 bucks for it
