27370 Views 251 Posts Social
Hello all. I have noticed a few people asking various questions about EB and JB over the years. I'm sure you all have a question or two that you'd probably like answered, so maybe I can shed a little light?

I used to work for EB games and I am currently Employed at JB (as a games consultant). I am happy to answer your questions (if I am allowed to, that is), so if you'd like to know something, now is the time to ask.
I have a question" if i have order for game and lost the receipt. to i really need it?.
i think you can show them id

Where? JB, yeah. EB, no.



I meant the store Game I just totally disregarded the JB and EB in the title :P

Anyways I went there today and they do infact sell them.
Well I'm late to the party, yeah they do and they sell all the "Other" cards well. They have a some what "Card Tower" at the store near me. Mostly Wow cards, Zynga cards( Farmville, etc) iTunes.. It's super handy.
Wait EB DO sell itunes cards.. well the one near me does
Both sell iTunes cards
Sometimes when I buy supposedly new games at EB and JB, its not in its shrink wrapping and the staff grabs them out of a draw behind the desk. Are they games that people return??
whenever i buy new games at JB they get them off the shelf or out of a draw and they are shrink wrapped.

if they arent shrink wrapped i would ask for a copy that is
Both EB and JB will sell you the game sealed if they have one. If its open, that just means that's all the stock they have left is in in the drawers. The cases on the shelves go with the "guts" in the drawers.
Sometimes no plastic also means it's been returned within 7 days of having been bought, essentially make it a used product :P

I couldn't care less as long as the case and disc aren't scratched it's new. :P
When is the latest JB special going to end?

They've been reusing the same games since early-mid december..

That's EB, you won't find any of that BS at JB.

Can't really say, mainly because I don't know myself. We get told usually the night before it happens, sometimes even on the day.

Really? You really think that :P

Although, JB's product turnover is so high that you're probably right. They probably dump products returned in the used bin and they won't even feel it financially.
Well, I can say for sure that my store doesn't do that.
*Makes note to self*

Buy bin from store, write "Used" on the side, place out the back at my local Jb- reap the rewards.

*Rubs hands together*

MUHAHAHAHAH

Lol of course you can cancel a pre-order
Yeah you can. I did a while ago but supposedly they take a cancelling fee. They were gonna off me but she stuffed up. I had GT5 on pre order but was annoyed at the delay so i cancelled it. It was the 300 dollar one.
some other stores sell itunes cardes
i miss when EB sold GBA, PS1 and GC games. when they were on clearance they were all about $5.

Does EB and JB still sell those Gamecube Wii controllers?
