There are literally hundreds of more, go to search bar for your system, select home delivery & click & collect to filter out all the stuff they don't have, you may also be able to select "half price games" and search through what they have. Just added about 60 ps4 games to the collection, seems to be a couple of good deals on xbox one and switch as well.

Also wanted to give a shoutout to my local store tea tree plaza, a lot of the workers there and i'm sure all over copped it from people during the pandemic, so please be excellent to all the staffers and throw them some kind words when you pick up your cheap games.

      adding, cheers. About to crash out so just threw up some of the basic info to get the word out, so this one is a bit vanilla and light so far.

      Pity about the picture, automatically chose a DJ hero pic, sad. Was going to put a picture of my local EB (tea tree plaza) up there to give them a shoutout as those guys copped it solid from people during the pandemic.

      Just going to add a lot of these stores have also copped it and none of the staff deserved it, so give them a friendly word or two when your picking up your cheap games!

      WARNING do not buy. It's a contender for biggest turd of a game I've ever played. Probably is the worst. I think it was made by the work experience kid.

      Look up old travis threads where I give my reasons why.

        I don't know why people negged. I own it. Regretful purchase. Here's my review:

        I was fooled by reviews. I can't remember the last time I hated a game so much. Probably because I like the IP and saw the reviews said it would at least be "ok". Here's an example at it's worst:

        Enter new area. Wall goes up to set perimeter of the fight. Area of fight is a square with no interactable objects. Spawn enemies out of the floor. Kill them.
        Move right to new fight. Wall goes up to set perimeter of the fight. Area of fight is a square with no interactable objects. Enter enemies. Kill them.
        Move right to new fight. Wall goes up to set perimeter of the fight. Area of fight is a square with no interactable objects. Enter enemies. Kill them.
        Move right to new fight. Wall goes up to set perimeter of the fight. Area of fight is a square with no interactable objects. Enter enemies. Kill them.
        Move right to new fight. Wall goes up to set perimeter of the fight. Area of fight is a square with no interactable objects. Enter enemies. Kill them.

        After fighting 5 square arenas of the same size in a row with slightly different numbers/groups of the same enemy types I was willing to beat my head against the wall.

        The game has oodles of style in the cutscenes, the setting has so much potential. When it's telling a story it's good. But the gameplay… worst ever.

        PS: The boss fights are dull too. The sound is also awful.

      • dano on 25/05/2020 - 12:05
        +1

        Ni No Kuni II is one of the worst JRPGs I’ve played. The only redeemable quality of that game is the graphics and art style, it really looks fantastic. Other than that though, the difficulty is brain dead easy, the characters, especially the main protagonist, were awful, the story is terrible, the music is forgettable, and while the combat system is pretty decent, the lack of challenge completely kills it. Wouldn’t recommend, personally.

          Why the downvote? It's not like dano was trolling and didn't provide reasons for why he didn't like the game.
          If Ni No Kuni II is anything like the first one, I would avoid too.

        +2

        I tried out motion controls, it is terrible and inaccurate, there is no hope to complete the higher difficulty songs using motion controls. The button control scheme is decent, but the best way is using the drum peripheral (which is impossible to get for a good price now). If you like the songs and a fan of rhythm games, then it is a must-buy.

    Their system is really strange….

    Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! I was able to order one but now totally gone with preowned at $69. So the $29 is Price Error?

    Then also the three LABO kit, I was also able to order but show on back order pending delivery 1st Jun. Ok you would think Drum N Fun must be on clearance. EB was well know for their back order capability. then this from fratzhaus.

    Don't get me wrong, I got all my stuff in the order but their system just seem all over the place…..

    • typhoonadventure on 26/05/2020 - 12:04
      +2

      It will be no mistake.

      So heres a bit of insider info from someone who worked at corporate.

      They monitor the hell out of prices, very rarely will you see a stocked item that surges in value either stay stocked, or stay at that price.

      They have a whole team that monitors this stuff, remember when black ops 2 360 went backwards compatible and people flocked to buy it from the store where it has been $35 since it was announced for bc, surging up from $19?… and then overnight microsoft put it up from $14.95 on the xbox store to $69.95…. within a very short time frame of this being announced all of a sudden it was $69 in eb games for a used copy?

      Another good example was godzilla ps4… for ages it was a $36 game then it started to surge in price on ebay, soon it was a $78 preowned game and yet new copies for were listed for $19 yet always out of stock. (stores have been ordered before to "swap" new or used copies, I dont know exact details something about distributor arrangements on new copies, where as preowned it's all profit at their discretion).

      Then recently it happened with rory mcilroy golf, license expired, all copies were to be sent back to distribution for credit and it was surging past $60 on ebay when it had been a $15 game, so all of a sudden all new copies disappear and they have a ton of "preowned" copies at $48 each…

      And this isn't even getting into their unofficial ebay sales, where notice how many times you see a really rare or expensive game traded in and you say to the cashier thats awesome I wanna buy that and your told, sorry has to be processed I can try and give you a call when it's processed, followed by oh damn it wouldn't let me enter it into the system, or it got instantly sold as soon as I logged it in, or my favorite, head office demanded it back for some reason.

      Most of those go straight on one of those ebay accounts to get the highest possible value. Just before trade in on ps3, ps vita and 360 games happened, a lot of us were expecting a huge increase of rarer games to come in that never did on the website. I even traded a bunch of them in using a birthday voucher and some games were paying upwards of $39 (wii sports resort was doing crazy despite not being rare).

      Hardly any of the games traded in stayed in store and most of them seemed to flood eb affiliated ebay accounts where they went for heaps.

      I've even seen some limited print games on these accounts which is interesting and stores don't trade them in…

      • syswong on 26/05/2020 - 12:30

        That Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! was sure there for $29 but now the page is gone.

        I an curious why the some are labeled out of stock and not back order available but others are out of stock but showing available for back order.

        • typhoonadventure on 26/05/2020 - 12:50

          I nearly bought one after the original post but held back due to finances, while picking up orders I saw plenty of copies on the shelf in SA all with their original price tags on them but noticed a lot of stores had not stickered stock yet.

          Not really surprised they backtracked on this one.

          it wouldn't surprise me if its a secondary duty and they've got price charting algorithms. Same thing we do at work with statistics, all data from reports and numbers of stuff go through the usual channels and info out of it gets correlated and presented as an alert and someone makes a call on it.

    Oh man god a huge box sitting at work and I though WTF? So I underestimate the size of the Labo kits. You put three of them together, its huge and heavy. Plus the Taiko no Tatsujin is about 30 something for delivery. Not a bag price consider it is delivered with in 48 hours.

    Which Labo you guys suggest I should start with? Too heavy to carry all back home even I only live one block away from work.

    Manage to get the Nintendo Labo Variety Kit at my local store today, after it was restocked during the week.

    Also received the Nintendo Labo Customisation Set for free as a Bonus.

    Managed to get all mine, but one without a cover and some look pre-owned lol, but that's EB Games for you. Should be this price normally after what they do with the games. Like they abuse them or something.
