I'll be hitting JB's up and I'm sure they'll have it on the release day.
In years gone by it was EB but in all honesty they blow dog.
How they try and justify $20-30 more on new releases is beyond me. Then they have the audacity to place stickers on their games that say if you've seen it cheaper anywhere else we'll match it! I'll go to JB's get the price go to EB and tell them I saw it for another $10 less than JB's just to screw them over. If they take the bait then fine, if not I put it back on the shelf and go to JB's who usually get my hard earned. They are a great retailer with some weird ar$e staff lol.
EB target the uneducated - mums/dads who have no real clue and charge way more than they should. Anyone with half a brain avoids them like the plague when it comes to prices. I've noticed their stores have really gone down hill too, at least here in Adelaide. Always have massive tables of cheap games forsale that just looks really lame.
All major stores release on the same day. It's against the law to have it on the shelves prior to release date and JB's are on to all new releases. I have no doubt BOP will be any different. I don't recall any new release being in one store and not the other in the last 2 years.
JB hifi ftw unless you're happy to wait for a cheaper online purchase. I sometimes purchase from swallow games UK who have free shipping. I got the unedited GTA4 from there and was happy to wait 4-5 days shipping. Depends how desperate you need the game I guess.
