Electronics Boutique - Mario/Vodka/someone

[Seano]

Now i know how everybody feels about electronics boutique on this forum (lol) but i went into the shop at pagewood today during my lunch break to speak to a mate i have who works there. Some interesting things he said were:
* eb originally had a deal with HES that they will have rugby league before any other retailer
* if you dont preorder the game you wont get it until after the new year
* the game wont be coming out until at least november (when i told him that mario said october some time he said that if that was the case it would have been confirmed or something)

I dunno how much of this is accurate or not but he was extremely sure of himself.

Thanks to anyone who can clear this up (and not just bag eb lol)

With respect mate.. it's pretty much the opposite to what HES said. They have told me repeatedly that there will be plenty of stock.
What position does this guy have at EB? And does he know his claim that EB has a sweetheart deal with HES is being repeated on a public forum?
Sounds like shopkeeper talk to me.

No worries mate. I work in retail myself and if word got out that one of the outlets was getting special treatment for new product release, the other outlets would let the wholesalers know what they thought of them. Mind you, we're now talking about a computer-related industry... anything goes. :lol:

Side Note: Willow is a check out chick

He can be found at Gold Coast Woolies every sunday morning

:lol:

Willow, can you reserve a copy of it for me so i can buy it off the website? I just need a good word that i can get it off you so that i don't have to go to EB or something to reserve a copy.

It'll probably be on the PS2

Cheers,
Moffo
