Have you guys noticed that allot of the games from EB are actually returned titles?

Its all a great scam to reap heaps of $$$$
See when the game is first sold, The developer gets a royalty fee.

Then when there returned and resold EB get 100% of the profits!
Hence their 7 day return policy!
There was a huge outcry from developers in the states last year sometime about it,,
Not sure what the outcome was?

I wrote to the Heraldsun about it and they published the story last year!

Just make sure whenever you get a game from EB you ask for a sealed copy!!

I wonder where Grey Snake is??

I bet he is laying flat down in the corner of his cell in "no man's land,' tucked neatly inside his sleeping bag with his codec, anxiously anticipating the launch of EBgames online.

Im about to stage a sleep outright infront of store right now - stumble by my pretend fort!!!!

What's with all these old threads being resurrected?

Lojl, the site's not that bad, but they don't list all of their games, only "new release" and "coming soon"

08/26/2007 Knee deep in the dead...

antman1011 says:

lol what's with you not being on the site for like 2 months then returning, nah joking I know I agree, weird but it's cool to talk about the old things again

08/26/2007 Melbourne, Victoria

grey_snake says:

Well when things are slow i like to go back and ressurect some of the older topics...

...saves creating new ones i guess.

Gaetano says:

I went for a job interview with EB Games mid-2006, and didnt end up getting the job because I couldnt do the hours they wanted, but the manager literally told me that they make all of their money from pre-owned titles. New games see a profit of about $2-4 per title while they make pretty much nothing on console sales. Whereas with pre-owned titles, they sell them for 300% more than what they gave you for the games. So $20 for to you for a game would equal about $80 that they would sell it for.
