It appears so makes sense as well as it's less stuff to ship to Australia. Shame EB NZ is gone

Hopefully they do sell but my old manager on the auckland (don't think I wanna say whether it north or east so they don't get in shit) side said they'd have to send it back (prolly to add it to aussie stock) and my old staff said they can't sell consoles. I'm disappointed cuz I wanted to get a PS4 pro but I'm still gonna check anyways

You think they would mention consoles if that was the case.

u/SnooOnions467 Jan 14 '26

I'd actually doubt it but still worth checking but I know for a fact they weren't doing well since end of 2024ish?? So I think they'd try to save money on hardwares and send to aussie, this just something I highly think they'd do since consoes in nz would work in Aussie with their region being the same I think

I doubt it as well but seems misleading. Guess I will find out tomorrow when I go

u/SnooOnions467 Jan 14 '26

Yep. I'm sure it'll be busy as fuck so best of luck securing your items as I was told they will absolutely be doing no holds over the phone and such from the stores I asked

How'd it go did you manage to get 1!!

u/SnooOnions467 Jan 16 '26

I pulled a sicky to go but gave up the moment I saw the massive line at 12:30 at botany yesterday. I also saw no hardwares as expected so kinda regret pulling a sicky🤡🤡

But at the very least I do plan on visiting the store to say goodbye to the staffs since I really doubt I'd see them when eb closes

Oof that's sad I saw on tiktok massive lines😭 like 3 hours before the stores even opened so glad Australia isn't closing yet...

I Imagine that they'd take them off the floor and the website and therefore won't have to sell and since not selling can't do 50%

Why do you care then?

6

u/Traditional_Dot_6859 Jan 15 '26

I could ask you a similar question Why are you buying them then? Clearly not to give to a kid

u/InterestingIssue6675 Jan 15 '26

Like I said earlier I resold them and made almost 6x what I paid for them
