          I'd just ignore him now. He's an admin of an EB Games hate group.

          He probably works for JB HIFI where they work on commission and is just trying to raise sales figures ;)

          @Kugz: Haha I know, it's truly bizarre. Did you see all his copy-pasted essays about how much he hates EB games? Runs hate facebook groups and stalks the EB facebook page to find things to complain about. I have no idea. Most people that don't like a certain store just don't shop there and don't need their opinions validated by others

    Shame my local store has no stock, but 6.95 postage flat rate? Heck yeah.

    Bought two guides for a buck each and a second copy of Pokemon Typing Adventure for 4 bucks. The keyboard it comes with is super nice and at that price, totally worth it.

    Some DS games are also $1.

    Brain Training, Clubhouse Games, Professor Layton, etc. are perfectly good software that does not particularly benefit from being 3DS native. In fact there is not a good solitaire game on 3DS that I could find apart from Clubhouse Games.

    Edit:
    Elite Beat Agents is $4!
    Pokemon B/W/B2/W2 are $5.
    Rhythm Heaven is $5.

    They have a charger for the DSi (same as 3DS) for $9.

      Honest question, what is the appeal of game guides to people?

      There's video walkthroughs, wiki's, etc available for free online.

      • Priicey on 10/11/2016 - 19:11

        I just prefer physical copys to looking online, nostalgia I guess. Also because my parents bought them for me as a kid whenever they got me a new video game.

          @Blitzfx: yes

    • Selenium on 10/11/2016 - 20:27

      Sadly not. Dunno how they managed to take City, reskin it and make it run twice as bad, but they sure did!

      Glad I paid like 4 bucks for it. Didn't bother playing very long. An utter disappointment. Just a quick cash in by WB Games, trying to ride Rocksteady's cost tails and failing miserably.

      • montorola on 10/11/2016 - 21:14
        +1

        So I'm guessing it's not even worth the $9 on site (arkham origins)

        Cheers, deleted it from the cart lol

        • Selenium on 10/11/2016 - 22:40

          Sadly not. :P

          Apparently Origins: Blackgate is decent though. Better developers for that. Good if you have a Vita, don't think the 3DS is as great. Certainly not visually.

          Either way, avoiding Origins is a good idea. No problems with sticking to the actual Rocksteady Trilogy.

    • TheDukeOfNukem on 10/11/2016 - 21:47

      It's not perfect, it's not the best in the series, but to be fair to it, the other entries in the series are really (profanity) good. Being second best to an absolute champion isn't a bad thing.

      I've personally only played the Wii U version, which you'd think would be the least updated and supported version, and in fact it was, now that I remember it didn't even have multiplayer (not that I've have played it anyway), but anyway, I played it on Wii U and I thought it was a treat. No Arkham Asylum, no Arkham Knight, but I honestly (I'm gonna get killed here) thought it was more fun than Arkham City.

      Better? Not necessarily, but I had more fun with it.

      Probably safe to say its for the previous model, considering I found a video of it from 2015.

    Got through everything I wanted to buy and 2 things were out of stock, took them out and went through the payment process and another 5 things are out of stock…

    Guess I won't be buying anything now, seeing as the main things I wanted are OOS, you would think they would have a holding system in place for when you are processing a payment.

    • KeplersLaws on 10/11/2016 - 19:34

      • Scaregdearimasu on 10/11/2016 - 19:38
        +1

        There is an edit cart option but it does take you back to the cart.
        luckily it holds all your info so you don't have to type it in again.

      • freoleo on 10/11/2016 - 19:44
        +1

        It was moreso some things that I preferred over the others and I was alright losing a couple of them but to go back into the processing thing and losing another 5 items, that sucked.

        I guess the more popular things sell out quicker but I still think if you actually get through the cart without losing things the second time then they should definitely put a system in place for you to checkout the payment process with your items on hold.

        • Scaregdearimasu on 10/11/2016 - 19:57

          I agree completely. Also that happened to me too the oos then removing items then more OOS. It's an unfortunate system to have in place. Also I read on Reddit they just got a system in place where new titles are available to order from physical store locations instead of just the warehouse. Thus all the new vita games stock being "available".

          I'm guessing a large portion of peoples orders will be cancelled due to accepting to many orders and people buying games before employees can pull stock as employees are not going to prioritize online sales.
          Or just drop everything when an new online order comes in. They'll probably get a sheet of orders everyday at a certain hour to gather like JB employees.

          I wonder how hard it really is to implement a live stock checker and hold items in reserve once in cart.

        • freoleo on 10/11/2016 - 20:03

          @Scaregdearimasu: From a factory it should be fairly straight forward by just using their online system
          from instore it will be super complicated due to walk ins.

          Anyway I managed to place an order for a few things I really wanted in the end, certainly narrowed down my spending thats for sure.

    Another idiot store that doesn't reserve stock while you're in the midst of paying. Fail.

    • gunnie on 10/11/2016 - 20:48

      I can confirm that most of my recent orders have been fulfilled from a physical store rather than their warehouse. And the stock system is not real time. You can actual confirm how much of the item they have in stock by adding the max qty allowed. Sometimes it will give the message only x amount in stock.
      Also for those keen on having their items shipped in pristine condition, it is usually the floor stock so there is a few wear and tears and games won't come shrink wrap.
      Like to hear other people's experience if it is the same.

          It's my favorite RE game post-RE4.

        • manbearpig on 11/11/2016 - 00:32

          @lostn:

          I think you're confusing RE Mercenaries with RE Revelations. RE Mercenaries which youhuiquan bought doesn't take advantage of the 'new 3ds', nor does it support the circle pad pro, so buying it would be pointless. I also don't see how it could be your favourite since RE4 as it's just the mercenary mode.

          @manbearpig: Oh my bad.

          I was indeed confusing Mercenaries with Revelations.

          Revelations is the awesome game (and my favorite since RE4). Mercenaries I haven't played.

          You probably can't go wrong with it for $1 though.

    Amazing deal.

    I missed out on a few items that were OOS when I went to check out. Still got a few faceplates.

    Missed out on the gorgeous Zelda MM faceplate unfortunately. :(

      Are they a bargain anywhere above $2 though?

      I mean, I know they probably never sell for that, but still…

    It has been over a couple of hours now and some of the things that were out of stock when I attempted to buy are still listed as "in stock" must be frustrating for people having to go in and out of the cart when buying.

    So much for waiting for Black Friday Sales or Steam Winter Sale. Thanks OP!

    Why did I just spend $68 on stuff I absolutely don't need?

    Warning: Prepare to wade through tonnes of Skylanders and Infinity crap if you click that link!

    It's a pain in the arse searching for low prices on EB's website due to them lumping that stuff in with the games.

      When I browse the webpage the second time round, skipped straight to page 3
