Then order your games online, or go to target, or go to walmart, or go to KB toys, or go to toys r us, or go to kmart... There are many other sources for your gaming fix.  :)

they trying to reap profit margin they lost from the xbox\'s price drop

EB is the whore of the gaming retail market

they would say "thank you for calling electronics boutiuqe, home of poop on a stick", if it would help them sell games

i love how they sell "used" PS2, xbox, and GC games for like 5$ off the retail price.

only thing i like about EB is there trade two xbox or GC games in for a free title

i get two shitty used games from work for a few bucks and trade them in for new titles

My local EB never calls themselves the home of anything..

As far as their advertising goes.. every time I go in \'dere it\'s GameCube mania. Ever since RE1 came out, it\'s been like this. Michael (the EB clerk, my new-found friend) has had his hands full with all of th\' Mario preorders!

My Local EB has about 3 gamecube banners, an Xbox display and Xbox previews running on some TVs...not to mention Xbox is the first thing you see when enter the store.  The green color just "pops" out at you...and the Xbox section is the only section with pre-order display boxes.

just realized EB is pushing Xbox

it\'s called

"oh shit i over ordered X-boxes and nobody bought them so I will encourage people to buy x-box even though PS2 has superior games and gameplay"

translates to

"Thanks for calling EB, home of the X-Box":D

sad but true

Someone needs to get back on their medication REAL soon.  Otherwise you just might push an administrator to the limit.

I don\'t mind EB supporting the X-Box... what I don\'t care for is when their knocking down the other systems...

"Hello I\'d like to buy a Playstation 2."
"Wouldn\'t you rather an X-Box?"
"No I want a PS2."
"Sony sucks... So does Nintendo... *Sneers at you*"
"Just gimme the damn PS2."
"Whatever... *Gets around to dealing with you 15 minutes later and insults every aspect of the PS2 during that time and informs you how much better the X-Box is during that time so that you might change your mind*...

You\'d think Microsoft bought EB [They didn\'t though did they ?]
