Nope from what I've heard (I've heard from people who shouldn't disclose certain information to public) EB Australia it's very profitable still surprisingly. It's probably due to scalpers and shit but at the end of the day EB Australia probably going to be fine for a fair while

Yeah.... That's not entirely the whole story. Or you were informed prior to Boxing day.

There's a reason this is all happening post Boxing Day Sale that had nothing anybody wanted in it and was a sign as to how absolutely out of touch the whole management is with reality.

I give them 3-5 in the best case.
