  Terrible "sale". You can get brand new PS2's for $80 and Wii's for $200-$300 depending on sales.

      Most retailers had a sale with new PS2s at those prices (78) prior to Christmas.

  Not a very good deal at all. Some of the preowned games part of the sale can be purchased brand new for less (from ebgames.com.au)

  Plus, $77 for a crusty old ps2, when brand new JB have them for $99 normally and they are as low as $88 during sales.

  Sometimes I struggle to understand how EB manage to stay in business from a games sale perspective. Their consoles pricing is kind of OK (could have been better though).

    Their console pricing typically sucks. They do run some occasionally good bundles.

    As far as game pricing goes, I'd love to hear from an employee the % of game sales that are price-matched. I'd imagine it would be fairly high, as their policy (whenever I've asked to match, I just ask where they've seen it cheaper) is fairly lax.

    I think a lot (most, even?) of their profits come from pre-orders and pre-owned arbitraging. (and yes, parents who know nothing about consoles/games)

  I tried to trade in 2 PS3 games, they said they will give me 8 and 9 dollars (purchased for 50 each).

  NO EB - go JB!

        i was the first one who wanted to add comment but for some reason this message box wasn't appearing on my screen. In the heat to clicking various links i accidently clicked the positive vote. I can't undo the vote.

  Some pretty good prices on some Xbox 360 pre-owned titles… Mass Effect for example, a steal at $20…

    Got mass effect preowned at JB last week for $10

  unfortunately these prices are nothing special for pre owned (they should be like these all the time not just "sales")
