Boycott EB Games

[HunterKiller]

I have all of those stores where i live and it doesn't really matter to me which one o go to.

No Gamestop around here. The guys working in EB are really cool, I like buying from EB. Even if there was a Gamestop here I would probablly still shop at EB, lots of rebates in EB too.

EBGames

I rarely even look at the titles of who make games, unless i really like the game. Not saying it doesn't matter though.

example...

the orignal C&C, all the way up to Red Alert 2, was insanly fucking awesome. but then whoever it was(ironically i think it was EB) that did C&C:Generals, made it not so good anymore. not sure why...

Because EB = Bad

EB is a store. EA Games is the people who did that.

I hit up CompUSA most of the time, I like that place. Not too big, not too small, and it doesn't matter if they know games or not. I like to know what I'm buying ahead of time.

Never heard of GameStop either. I've never had a problem with EB, the again it's quite out of my way so I don't buy aloy there.

Best Buy owns.

I doubt there are any Gamestop's within a 5000km radius of where I live. Trust me, I don't live in the country either. So basically all I can use is Harvey Norman (tech store) and EB.

I hate all those mall game stores. Babbage's was good, but it was pre-Revolution. Then they invented consoles. Now they are all full of jock retards who want a PS2 so they can play DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball or Madden 2004. PC games are waaay in the back, and some of the shit is opened. They still have oldass games for sale. There are no good stores to buy games at all anymore.

Best Buy is no better.

I could NOT find the expansion pack to a five-star flight sim (IL-2 Aces pack). It isn't even on the website. What IS on is the "Gold Pack", selling both IL-2 and the pack for an inflated price. In fact, there were two flight sims for sale: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (dozens and dozens of copies because Microsoft is paying them to keep it on shelves) and Secret Weapons over Normandy, the *worst* flight sim *ever*.

My brother found exactly two copies of Vice City PC scattered about.

My other brother found Unreal Tournament 2004 sold out- but these fuckers were selling the demo (yes, the DEMO) for $4.95.

Meanwhile, Best Buy continues to sell GTA 2. Not in the old games section, in the normal section. Too much old, not enough good.

There is no good place to buy PC games. Start pre-ordering. I'm sorry to say, but Babbage's is dead.

CompUSA. However, I did find PlanetSide for 30 bucks at BestBuy, whereas CompUSA had it for 50.

Meh the only thing I use them for is the EB Edge card I mean hey 10% of used games that only cost $9.00 to begin with. Thats .90 I keep.
EDIT: The people at the best buy near me are idiots. I went in there asking about their laser mouse's and the guy says to me (mind you he was in the computer section) "whats a laser mouse?" To say the least I haven't gone back in awhile.

Weekly? Hah. You mean bugs and their fixes?

[Onizuka]

They've been fine for me.
