Just wanna let everyone that if you sign up for an EB Games webmail account or refer someone you get 15% off anything excluding hardware.

I was just wondering if this could be used to purchase store credit as the voucher i received in my email had an Astrix

that says that it can not be used to purchase hardware though no mention of gift vouchers like say 15% store wide at kmart.

If it is maybe we can get free moneys from the shop we hate.

Buy GTA4 special edition for almost the price for the regular version.

BTW the voucher is only valid for 7 days from registration or referal.

no they will not let you get a gift card on it, then they would be losing money, as for games even with 15% off they will still be making it

So even though they forgot to include it in the terms and conditions, the people at the counter will be pricks and not allow it.

Thats EB staff for you

I swear most of those people have a smoko in the back room why they're not serving customers. Half of them are high, well the ones in my town are..

Can we pay the whole amount for a pre-order for GTA4 because its 150 every where else and this will reduce it by 15%, and then latter use the 7 day return policy when i have picked it up if JB or Big W etc have it cheaper. I think it is good to get it now cos knowong GTA history of recalls this one is gone be re released clean. BTW is it worth getting the special edition.

Anyone who buys or trades at EB Games is a sucker. Their prices are the worst, they give you crappy trade-in offers and the staff generally know nothing about games.

yeah. they dont have a clue what they are going on about. they rip you off in broad daylight, for instance, guitar hero 3 on ps3 is 170 and for pre owned its 160. and 170 is way over priced, 139 is the best price to get at toys are us.

I went to EB today to buy some PS2 games (I plan to return them) and I "forgot" to bring my 15% off coupon.

He gave me the discount anyway.

I wouldn't use the 15% coupon on PS3 games. I'd normally buy them for AUD60 imported from USA. Especially when 1 AUD is hovering around 0.9 USD

wutang, what about for COD4 though? i think thats what im gonna have to do, unless i can get it cheaper elsewhere (target, myer, something).

i was gonna import it, but because of the whole server thing...

...ugh.

my perfect plan is uprooted

also, a bit off topic, soz, if i import UT3, you can choose the location of what server you wanna join yeh? (ie; import US copy, connect to AUS servers?)

i get mine from www.cduniverse.com
they only charge 8.00 for normal shipping and 2 for every game after that..

never anything over 59U.S and always bargains like spider-man 3 collectors ed for $30U.S etc.

Good value in my books.

UT3 gives you ping times of the games running so you can pick something that's fast and probably in your country or close too.

Lulz!

recently looking at eb games new controller has prompted me to post an experience i thought i'd all share with you, snuggle up now around the campfire and listen in!!!! What would you call this? How would you explain this situation? I walked into EB, asked if oblivion was available, the hippy at the counter said "yes we have a copy" he walks out the back, 2 mins later comes back and hands me the strategy guide of oblivion.....then he said "were you after the game as well? Because we have a copy of the game on shelves somewhere............." I was thinking. "DUDEEEEEEE can i have what you're on!!? In a word, absolute lousy, anti listenning ****-3R

share your eb stories h3R3!!!

that was a jolly good story there kracken. it just goes to show that they have sub-human minions working all over aus. i dont have a story like that...but from my exposure, they're the usual dead ****s that think they're too cool for school to even acknowledge/bother serving you while they get raging clues over the LoTR mmo. that's at my local eb anyways

Lulz! @t sub human minions

They have a 15 year old working there, he clearly just had a big pixie stick snortfest out the back before he came in to serve, always sniffed and snuffed, and his eyes were darting in all directions like a sniper had him in aim. Most unprofessional little weasel i've seen! And very Un-hygenic! Unless fingering your nostrils and scratching your balls in public is a males daily routine! XD Seriously though, i had good mind to take him around the back and lay the heels in!!
