They also sell a number of pop culture related items, such as Pop Vinyl's and other various geeky items. Like all EB Games stores, they have the EB World loyalty program, and also offer game trade-ins. I am only giving this store three stars, as I have found one of their employees to be a bit rude and condescending. I won't go out of my way to visit this particular store again.

The store also sells various pop culture items such as Pop Vinyl Figures (which I am addicted to), various plush toys of popular gaming characters, board games such as Pokemon Monopoly and more. The staff are friendly, and whilst EB Games doesn't always have the most competitive pricing, they are usually happy to price match other stores. Be sure to pick up an EB World loyalty card if you don't already have one, as they allow receipt free shopping. There is plenty of free parking available outside the shopping centre, I recommend giving them a visit if you are looking to pick up any games.

You can trade in your old games for credit towards other items in store, and can earn points on purchases if you become an EB World member (free to join). In addition to video games the store also has a large range of Pop! Vinyl Figures, plush toys, some gaming themed board games and other various geeky clothes and accessories. You can pick up some good deals at EB Games during sales, though this is a rarely the case with new release games, which are always sold at RRP. You can pick up most new release games at JB Hi-Fi and Target for less, though EB Games is happy to price match most of the time. The one thing that EB Games lacks compared to stores like Gametraders, is video games for retro consoles such as the Nintendo 64 and older versions of the PlayStation, though I suppose that this is more of a niche market (which happens to be increasing).

I'm not a huge gamer but whenever I'm after presents for my gaming friends, I head to EB Games…read more Even though I can get it cheaper in Hong Kong, it's just not quite as easy to nip to Hong Kong as it is to my local Sunnybank EB Games shop. Over the years, I haven't much more than 10% price variation between EB Games and other online stores, especially if I need a game right now. For my own collection, I've always traded in my old games to go towards the price of new games. I've also purchased a couple of their pre-owned games and have had no problems with them. Their trade in and buy second hand system is a great way to play a few extra games without spending a fortune.

My wife and I went to JB Hi Fi, Capalaba today and we were helped by Troy. As we are quite…read moreelderly, we have very limited IT knowledge and we had an issue with our mobile phone. It would not recognize the watch or enable us to use it in our car. Troy helped us resolve all our issues. His knowledge was AWESOME, his courtesy and tolerance were BRILLIANT, his efficiency was UNBELIEVABLE. If all employees were as good as Troy, then JB Hi Fi would have no competition. Thank you Troy, from 2 grateful customers.

There are lots of JB's around but for me this store is an oasis in a desert. When the CD wars began…read morethis was the place to come to for a fantastic range, often at half the price of other places. Now, many those other places don't even stock CD's or the prices are so over the top it's hard to see how they stay in business. I often talk about supporting the little guy but here I'm compromising all for a store that gives me as good a deal as I'll get online and I get to feel all those CD's as I pore through the wide range of categories. I've also bought electronic gear here lately at very competitive prices and no fuss.

Nerds! This way! Next to Groove Cafe on Ipswich Road, there's a corridor. Down this corridor and to…read moreyour right is the doorway to Ace Comics and Games. It doesn't matter what type of nerd or geek you are, you're probably going to find something to lose your marbles over here. They've got your standard comic collection, comic figurines (awesome figurines of Poison Ivy and Batman in the front window display), magic cards, box sets, so on and so on. Across the corridor there's a spacious room set up with what looks like school furniture. This is where you come to meet your fellow game gurus. Friday night is game night, which is why they're open until late. The game ends when it ends, maan.

I'd hope that there would be more places like this in Brisbane, but it's not always going to be…read more While comics are receiving a revival of late, I fear it may solely rest upon the digital market where new graphic novels and comics are being consumed. Still, it's enough that there's a market for people who want to hold a book, rather than finger it that makes this place work. If you're in the neighborhood and want to get your hands on some graphic novels, miniatures, table top, DnD stuff etc then you should be ok. While they don't have a range as big as Comics Etc, these guys cater to a larger audience who share a few different tastes.

JBs is a shadow of it's former self these days. With everyone moving to digital and purchasing…read moreonline it is understandable that JBs no longer stock the range of DVDs and CDs they used to. Every JBs is slightly different and this particular store is where I consistently find animated titles for my kids. They have just started stocking a small vinyl section, which is exciting to see. I love that this store is not part of a major shopping centre. You can usually score a park right out front and not have to battle any crowds. There is also an EB Games in walking distance.

Gametraders is one of my favourite stores at Chermside, as they often get in retro video game…read moreconsoles such as the Nintendo 64, the Gamecube, the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. They also have a large selection of video games for older consoles. You should definitely avoid Gametraders if you have an addiction for Pop! Vinyl Figures, as they sell hundreds of them, in addition to merchandise for franchises including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Doctor Who and Star Wars. They also have a large selection of board games and card games, many of which you would not find at most toy and department stores. Gametraders also sells comic books, anime DVDs / Blu-ray's, a small selection of clothing and various video game / TV show props, which would be perfect for cosplay. You will often be able to find items that Gametraders are selling for less online, though they offer convenience and a unique retail experience, which EB Games is finally catching on to, with the launch of their new Zing Pop Culture stores.

Video games are expensive - and don't really have anything to do with videos anymore now I think…read moreabout it. Gamestraders has a very clever model based around letting you trade in your old games to help offset of that brand new $100 game YOU HAVE TO HAVE RIGHT NOW. Other game stores do this too, but Gamestraders seems to be a bit more generous with their refund. Don't get me wrong, they then turn around and sell your traded in game for heaps more than they paid you, and it's pure profit (they only have to pay the manufacturer for new games so selling second hand games is heaps more lucrative than selling new). There's a decent range, and parents and partners can feel slightly better about watching their loved one trade in that game that cost a fortune just a week ago (trust me, you never really go back and play a game once you've finished it).
