Looks like I'll have to stop by Gamestop on the way home from work and pick up Resistance with my Edge card.

Would you like the strategy guide to go along with that resistance? It's 10% off if you buy it today!

No thanks, I already beat it with a friend on his PS3 when it first came out. I just figured I'd get it for my library since it's at a low price. Also there is nothing I would like to preorder.

It was. Truely it was.
At least we've still got GPStore.co.nz, and that works just dandy.

Kiwi is a common term that means a resident of New Zealand.

The Kiwi is our national icon, its an endangered flightless bird, native to NZ. And we call ourselves kiwi's as well, as moorio stated, residents of NZ.

Some parts of NZ still have JB Hi-Fi, and there are many other non-specialist retailers who also stock videogames. It's not all bad, but certainly not a great move for the industry.

Gamesman's service was average, at best, but i can't see it improving with this GameStop/EB acquisition.

Most people over here see GameStop as the evil corporate empire that they clearly are, and treat them with the disdain they deserve.

That will not change.

EB games rocks. Seriously. *IF* you use them right. If you do, they're so much better than gpstore. I'm very glad that the gamesman has been absorbed into EB games, its about bloody well time, gamesman sucks.

Yes Kiwi's are what we call ourselves, huzzah!

I remember EB Games. I worked for EB. It was a great company. I still wonder why they let those brain-dead bean counters that stopped drooling long enough to run Gamestop buy them out.

EB is only good for preowned games.

There, I SAID IT!

Still, GamesMan stores were just; cooool

With so many alternatives that are beginning to sell used games, I am seeing less and less reason to go to GameStop now.
