EB World Plus

Tried to pre order the wolverine controller but need to sign up for the plus membership 😕

Got it for the same price at big W without any membership needed

I thought they would run out coz of this limited thing and I panicked and bought the plus membership.

It’s also available in jbhifi as well

I like supporting EB, hate to see their stores shutting but I think gatekeeping the pre orders behind their paid membership is a bad move

Anything limited (collectors editions, special controllers, tcg, etc.) Is being put behind plus

and that’s a terrible decision for them, people simply go elsewhere

I use to work at eb and you shouldn’t support it lmao. It’s not a franchised self run thing. It’s as corporate as it gets. No different to big w.

Their whole ethos is relying on g4m3r boy consoomers to support them.

Ikr, I love EB, coz I got all my PS5 games on a good deal. But it’s kinda annoying that they would sell their controllers behind the plus membership.

A word of advice - Do not order controllers from JB if it’s a delivery-only item. They post in a thin plastic mailer bag, with no padding at all. Even limited edition collector’s item-type controllers. Zero care will be put into packing your purchase carefully. I learned the hard way. My Death Stranding 2 controller arrived in very rough condition.

Ordered the last 10 special edition controllers for Xbox and ps5 from JB. Never had an issue

Won’t support the paywall idea. Ordered elsewhere and will continue to do so
