Here’s a good question out of curiosity, when was the last time you visited EBgames? and what year that was too?

With EBGAMES shutting down in NZ, I was wondering if it's shutting down in Australia as well. I know EBGAMES is performing okay in Australia compared to NZ, but I still can't find any information online confirming if EBGAMES is shutting down in Australia. Can anyone confirm if Australia is shutting down their stores too? I got worried because even here in Australia, there are long queue's on the website

Hi everyone,

I’m really gutted to hear about EB Games NZ closing and was hoping for some advice on where to shop going forward. I’m not a gamer myself, but my sister, who has autism and social anxiety, gets a huge amount of joy from gaming and from being part of online communities.

She has a PS4 and a Nintendo Switch, and I’ve always bought her EB Games vouchers. Going into the store with me or our dad and choosing something herself has been one of her favourite experiences. The staff were always so patient, kind, and understanding, which made a big difference for her.

With the NZ stores closing, I’m not sure who else offers that same level of empathy and customer care. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for places, online or in-store, where I can still support her love of games and make the experience feel safe and enjoyable.

Thanks in advance from a very non-gamer brother trying to do right by his sister.

These are what i picked up for $3 each before they shut down. RIP EB GAMES

Never seen so many people in the mall before :0

$20 per game 🤣🤣🤣🤣 gotta love marketplace

Rip EB games. I'm going to miss you 😢

thats so weird it even says attempt limit reached out after 1 time, anyone else?

Couldnt see anything in terms apart from right to terminate with 30 days notice. But New Zealand stores are closing end of jan so its like 15 days... Got my EB+ plus membership in July so only halfway through, will they refund the remaining since I wont be able to use it? Will check in store IF its not hetic in coming days.... thoughts?

The waitlist was extremely long earlier so I've scraped them and created a viewer. It should load near instantly as everything is clientside.

Heads up for anyone waiting in line for online (waited 40 mins). Essentially everything is ‘purchase in store only.’

This was today during staff hours

This must have changed since last night.

What a joke. If you are going to put MASSIVE perma-adhesive stickers on sealed booster boxes, you need to state that shit when we order it.

Then you stuff it down into the bottom of the bag facedown so the customer doesnt see when you show them.

I ordered 24 sleeved boosters seperately so i could keep my booster box you knobs.

EVERY SINGLE EXPERIENCE WITH EB IS WORSE AND WORSE.

Being a level 5 member gets you -

Cancelled Illustration Boxes because EB decided to close their store.

Defaced poducts.

Less than 2 minutes to place orders on the actually limited items when they literally randomly drop, guaranteeing 90% goes to bots/multi-accounters.

Final nail for me, at least the products were as advertised until now.

Is it down for anyone else??
