Good luck finding a gamestore that doesn't do the EXACT SAME THING. You should probably boycott Barns and Noble and Borders and FYE and Best Buy and Walmart and every other store that does the same f**king thing. Or you can quit whining and be happy that there is a store where you can find a huge selection of games and accessories all in one place. Something that wouldn't exist for most people without ebgames and gamestop

@YokaiBack away from the keyboard you f**king idiot! You are hereby banished from the internet!Seriously though, EB and BK teaming up in a price fixing scheme is just about the dumbest idea I've ever heard of.

Everyone knows Gamestop is the LAST place you should shop for peripheral. You shouldn't even shop in any retailer for that.

I walked into a game store called the Game Attic (or something like that) and they had 9 used copies of Final Fantasy VII at $99. Every one of them were from the Greatest Hit line of Playstation games.

Even though they are the same company; if I have to choose between Gamestop or EB, I choose to go to EB. The main difference is how the individual stores are run. The Gamestop and EB, where I live, happen to be in different Districts even though they are only a couple of blocks apart. The District manager for the EB hires better store managers who in turn hires better employees and the stores are run much better. It's easier to find items in the EB store since the sections are more organized, and they have a larger selection of games and movies since more people shop there.The EB employees are better informed and are also more willing to help you out if you can't find something. I've had the EB manager offer to get an item for me from one their other stores that I couldn't get too.If there was an option besides EB/Gamestop, I'm sure I would go there instead. Unfortunately, every other game store that opens in my area either closes (GameXchange) or gets bought by EB/Gamestop (Rhino).I do purchase games online, but I much rather walk into the store and walk out with the merchandise when I pay for it instead of waiting for it to be shipped and not have my money or my game.

The only thing good about EB, is that they have tons of used games... dirt cheap used games. I usually spend like 10 bucks on a game at EB, something I never played for the PS2. If I buy a new game, I will not go to EB for it.

Wow, EB Games and Gamespot certainly have received a lot of hate this week. I'm glad they deserve it.

themastersb,Wal-Mart is widely known to have the average highest price among video games. EB/GS is usually lower for new games. This can be backed up by me and tons of people at CheapAssGamer.Anyway, this is kind of funny. What's even funnier is that somebody will buy it.
