uh, the fag at my local EB has refused to price match for me multiple times,

he said buy it for the marked price or dont buy it at all.

and places like JB and Big W usually sell for under RRP.



you do realise thats illegal. A shop that promises to price match HAS to deliver that promise.

learnt that in commerce

EB staff people, its just a retailer/customer services, of cuz some of them don't know much about games/console, they are not gamer..true, people shop there cuz they are pure game store, shopper think, they know EVERYTHING about games/console....

There's this one bloke at an EB that always seems to be going for "salesman of the year".

He'll bark on for ages about this deal and that deal, explain all the trade in policies, return policies etc. for about 3 minutes when there is a queue of people waiting.. then get to the next person and repeats the whole rant over again even though they we're standing behind the person he launched his spiel to.

Geez he's a tosser.

People who shop at EB are people who want to take advantage of a possible 7 day return with price match, n00bs and non-gamers.

I shop at EB and do trade in's(rip off!) with them. My local store has BigW, JB & EB in one centre so i look at the others first and then ask EB for price matching and get the Scratch policy aswell.

Better listen more in commerce as if there are terms and conditions to said price matching and the store abides by those its not illegal.

i dont buy games from eb i rent games from eb

no wonder blockbuster is going broke

when they drop the $110-$119.95 upmarked price on games i might think about 'buying' games from there again

but considering eb games buys all there games on the american dollar an we are still paying the same price for games we were a year ago when the american dollar was near double the aus

well yeah .. **** them **** them right in the ear

I too use them as a renting destination pretty much, its actually really kinda sad how they havent picked up on it yet seeing as though i return 2 games every fortnight....they just say "Didnt like this one either, what games do you like"............."umm, not that one..."
