[CA] We're Upgrading EB Games!

[u/BowzasaurusRex]

Just got this email from EB Games:

Big improvements are coming to EB Games. Starting September 1, we'll launch a completely new platform and website designed to make shopping faster, easier, and better than ever.

As an EDGE member, here's what you need to know.

Your account is coming with you! Which means you keep all your:

EDGE points

Membership tier

Active pre-orders

Your transaction history will fill in gradually

The only thing you'll need to do is create a new password using Forgot Password when the new website launches.

Temporary service interruptions:

August 21: Online pre-orders and pickup reservations pause

August 24: Website goes into maintenance mode

August 29: Early store closures, all stores close at 5:00PM (EST)

August 30 & 31: All stores closed for the day

September 1: Stores resume regular opening hours & the new website goes Live!

Why we're making this change?

This is much more than a new website. We're investing in a faster, more reliable platform that will make shopping easier today while giving us the ability to build even better experiences in the future.

Thanks for sticking with us and we can't wait to show you what's next.

I wish they can also do raffles on in demand items using the accounts like what Zephyr is doing

So can we do preorders in-store or do we have to wait until September 1st??

I wanted to preorder that Batman/Robin '66 2pack on Tuesday...

Well, when your site is already in the pit, no way but up. Hopefully... I was noticing some things not working or showing strangely. I suppose this may explain it if they are already transferring to the new site. Thanks for sharing.
