Not a huge fan of the bricks and morter EB's but can still pretend The Gamesman is the old NZ owned site.
Gamesman Online is still run by the same fella now that used to run it prior to EB. Good ole .mantis

DSE in Silvia Park have a sale on games at the moment.
Just picked up Brutal Legend for PS3 for $39.00

Seem to have a few games at this price.

Most of the $9 are on the exclusion list but the $16 are mostly good to trade.
I'll say again "Man I wish we had a JB HiFi down here."
JB - Good
EB - Bad

I think EB has taken the villian way of gaming in New Zealand and really need to pull something big to swap it around,
JB came out of no where and provided gamers a place to go and get a bargain, Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose and i think that is why so many gamers hate EB

Just go in and ask for one. I tried that list once and they had an updated one in store.... it was an embarrassing trek back to EB to get them returned

Any chance of somebody getting a updated list and posting a scan/photo/jpg of it for us south islanders.
