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.

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??

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

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.

*Makes note to self*

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

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.
