It looks like EB Games are opening up new stores called Zing Pop Culture, which will basically be Gametraders without the console / PC games.
They are opening a new store at Indooroopilly QLD on Thursday July 31st, and will offer 20% off storewide, from then until Sunday August 3rd.
Here are some pictures of their Melbourne store:

That was exactly my impression too
I was wondering what the long term plan was when sales start to decline on disc sales, people always want collectibles that they can pick up from a store
Mark my words, EB will probably migrate all stores over to Zing.
Then you'll have to order online and just pick it up from a Zing store (in regards to games). I'll bet you can still trade them in but they will be processed and go to a big dusty warehouse somewhere.
A comic book shop without comic books?
