JB works by getting feet in the door. While other retailers want to preserve goodwill and redirect those feet, I'm sure they actually want to make money out of people.

EB have 25% off a lot of accessories as well as telling everyone to bring games to trade etc on it...so they are aiming to make the money elsewhere. Apple retailers only make $5-10 on ipods, and really not a whole heap more on the systems either but make it up in all the other stuff that goes with them. Either way, if people have paved the way for a better deal by the time I get there tonight I'll be happy....

Yeah I think you're right about that. Although not in regards to the DSi, I had EB match the offer JB had with the trade 2 ds games and get Chinatown Wars for free. The manager wasn't happy (I don't know if at me or the fact they didn't make any money) and he said to guy serving me that they wanted to scrap their price matching and whatever else-matching. Back on topic, I don't think I'll be buying a DSi anytime soon. I've entered two competitions to win them (the tightass I am ), and knowing my luck I won't win them, but I just don't feel right spending close to $300 on it. Maybe in the future when I feel that I need an upgrade from the original DS.

They were priced at $14 and $19. Obviously I got the better end of the deal there, particularly as I probably paid less than that for them in the first place. If I tried that at EB, I'm sure they'd be very pissed.

Hello, Dexter Morgan! Posts: 10,305 Group: Administrators Member #1 Joined: February 9, 2005 XBL Gamer Tag Master Ingram	Pretty sure I regret paying the extra for the 4gb SD card. Sure it's nice to be able to take a trillion photos, but I probably never will. The on-board storage of the DSi will most likely tide me over, unless there's an absolute ass load of good DSiWare, then I would need to store it all. Though surely Nintendo wouldn't be retarded enough to charge you per each download right? I could just rotate around my software. If the card was a Class 6 I'd be more happy with it, unfortunately it's only a class 2.

Hello, Dexter Morgan! Posts: 10,305 Group: Administrators Member #1 Joined: February 9, 2005 XBL Gamer Tag Master Ingram	Well I was presented with the option, it wasn't really a single choice I had to make. I went with the one I thought made sense at the time.
