Gamesman Re-Open as EB Games Today


Today marks the definite end of The Gamesman as when the eight stores across New Zealand open their doors today at 9:00AM they will be trading as EB Games.

Though the signs above the stores will still be yellow it's only a matter of time before they're replaced by the black and red. As this is quite a confusing situation for many gamers, maybe even traumatic, EB Games have set up an FAQ on their website titled "EB Games/GamesMan: What does this mean for you?".

Signs outside The Gamesman stores have told of re-opening sales, let's hope they can match what Dick Smith gave us recently.

Shame to see this happen, I know a lot Gamesman employees that were really behind their company.

Go figure, i thought EB were in more trouble then Gamesman but i suppose they had the numbers. In the end unless there prices get better they will lose out to JB HIFI.

I guess I'm one of the only people who is looking forward to EB's policies with Gamesman's staff.

I want to know what they are going to do about the two stores at the bottom end of Cuba Street. They have a Gamesman and an EB less than 100 meters from each other. Which one will close?

RE: Posted by LoNe on 18 July 2008, 12:54PM - Maybe they lost a piece of their soul though. The Gamesman employees I know HATE EB Games.

This is not because it's gamesman, but because there is now one less shop that I can go to and find cheaper or hard to find games.
