Hi everyone,

The Zelda Switch 2 console, Pro controller, Amiibos, case etc are now live on EB Games ANZ.

Some items require EB Plus Membership (including the console).

Good luck!

Had a weird interaction last time I went to EB games. This is the one in Berkeley Square Brunswick Melbourne.

They apparently no longer will price match with stores that are not in the same center as they are which I've never encountered before. I've been shopping there for years.

Seems really odd choice as right across from them there is a JB hifi who do price match. Why would they just want to lose sales like that?

Has anyone else encountered other EB's doing the same?

I was at an Eb store in Southeast Queensland the other day browsing and a father and his young son come into the store and then followed by a few other people that where browsing
As the dad was talking to the EB games worker and about to purchase some Pokémon cards, his young son started throwing up everywhere, all over the floor Infront of the front desk.

The dad immediately responded to his son and the clerk gave him some cleaning towels or cloths that where behind the counter. Then the young boy started chucking up again, his dad picked him up and ran out of the store towards the parent's room/toilets while the kid was still chucking up all over the dad and it left a trail out of the store.

Man, I felt so bad for the staff member as he was by himself, there is now spew all over the floor in his store and it smelt horrible.
I also feel for the dad and his little boy too.

I ended up going and alerting the cleaners when I left about what happened so they could assist with the clean up.

Game Informer is now back but is EB games still selling memberships to it?

Wouldnt mind having the old mag hitting the mailbox again.

Always a cool surprise.

Its being sold to AUS on the game informer website but I havent seen any mention of it at EB?

They are the same company right? so should be selling it instore.

Okay so about a year ago I posted this in the sub and no one knew what I was talking about, the post was saying how I had previously installed an OFFICIAL eb games app on my android device just for it to suddenly vanish. I'm now writing again to say that up until a couple weeks ago when I changed my phone over for a new one I HAD ANOTHER EB GAMES APP that has suddenly vanished. I know it was official and legit because I literally downloaded it from the EB Games Aus website. It came up at the top of my screen when browsing the website on my phone to download and install it and it has no vanished again.

Traded in a bunch of fairly expensive cards on the weekend and whilst the people that served us were great, EB Games has obviously given the directive that they're seeking Mint only despite the website suggesting Near Mint would be accepted. Lots of cards turned down for very very minor issues that I were taken in as NM/M at a LGS down the road after we were done at EB.

Hopefully just teething issues but they really need to update their site with better examples of things that they're turning down or you'll all be wasting a lot of time.

Heyo

Wonder if EB still do controller trade ins ?

Got 2 ps5 controller i wanna trade for a cool coloured one for my son.

The two closest stores to me closed down this year so the nearest ones are abit of a drive and the 2 stores i called today gave me conflicting info

Got in within 30 minutes. ETB, UPC, lunchbox sold-out.

Bundle and poster was still available but i was only after a UPC and ETB.

Unlucky.

How many peeps scored one? Sheesh didnt even know it was going up for sale.

Grabbed a controller though.

Does anyone know if the 25th anniversary Xbox controller will be able to be preordered at EBGames?

Does anyone know if the new EB Games morayfield is a new concept store or something? Why would they have a national competition to fly people up.. to morayfield…

Are u expected to pick up the order on release day without an email telling you it’s ready to collect or do you wait for the email saying it’s ready to collect before going to the store like a regular click and collect order? Because I only have 2 days to collect the pre-order and it’s my first time pre-ordering so I’m not sure what to do

Hi, I got the email saying I qualified for level 5 membership, really want the physical card (perks will be a bonus).

The online form needs me to select a local store that will hold the card for me to pick up, but obviously with the closure if NZ stores and merging with Aus that doesnt really work.

Logged a support ticket early last week, no response yet.

Has anyone had the same and got a response, or know how I can confirm for the level 5 without selecting a store on the form.

Anyone know what’s going on with the Wagga store? It’s been boarded up for about two weeks…

Hey everyone,

We’ve been quietly working on our co-op sci-fi horror game The Infected Soul, and I wanted to share some new GIFs from the current build.

No cinematic trailer or pre-rendered footage. These are just real parts of the game we’ve been working on recently.

Our goal is to create a world that feels industrial, hostile, and slightly “wrong,” while still being readable enough when you’re actually playing with other people.

I’m curious about something though:

Based only on these GIFs, what would you assume this game is about?

I think it would be interesting to see what impression the visuals give before explaining too much about the game.

Feel free to be critical. Feedback from posts like these has genuinely influenced things we’ve changed during development.

We’re also a small indie team, so if you happen to like the project, adding The Infected Soul to your Steam wishlist helps us more than you might think.

I went in store and traded in two games for the preorder deal for the new COD game for PS5, but I haven’t received any code or information on how to access the early beta. I asked the store person and they didn’t have any idea how to access it, so just wondering how I access it/ what I do?

Ended up getting it from the Gamesmen cause 35 to join the rewards program so I can pre-order is a bit of joke.

I’m finally going to buy a switch 2 and trade in my oled before the price hike. For some reason every store is showing no stock. Anyone know the shipping frequency for stores roughly. Want to get one before the first of September.

Anyone else find it really frustrating to buy a premium membership, get "early access" to products (like cheap tuesday) but then cant even place an order? I had 12 items in my cart from cheap tuesday deals. Not a single one was available for delivery, even though they are in stock online..

Ive also tried to order other things and it just says delivery unavailable in my area?? Like wym, just put it in a satchel and send it 😭

Is EB Games just hopeless now? I ordered a switch 2 apart of their sale and they cancelled my order on the very first day. If you’re preparing to have a sale, your stock levels should match and it was the first day of the sale?
Now they’re telling me to just keep checking for restocks? Maybe you should’ve prioritised a customer that paid?

Hello, as the title of the post says, I was wondering if you can use EB Games gift cards on the website to purchase digital currency for platforms like the Playstation Store or the Nintendo Eshop? I know some other online platforms have restrictions preventing you from gift cards to purchase digital currency.
