HAY GUYS

Have we not had over 9000 threads on this subject already or am I just thinking of the other 9000 internet message boards i've read this crap at.

People at EB/Sagestop are just doing their jobs. If you don't want a gutted copy it's as simple as not buying it. Let them make their stupid jokes/comments. If it bothers you, don't shop there. Best way to send them a message is through your wallet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The only point I was trying to make is that this has been a recurring theme across the series of tubes and I don't think EB/Sagestop really gives a damn. Best thing you can do about it is refuse to buy and/or shop there like I do.

Trust me, you won't find someone who is happier to no longer be a EBStop slave than me.

I agree with you completely. I think that TRU had an excellent system back in the day when they used to do this. I think EB won't do this for two reasons:

1. Overhead - They have to spend more on materials such as inserts, laminates, etc. to make this happen. Plus they'd have to completely re-do their store layout for this to happen and the benefits don't exactly outweigh the costs. Bad business decision all-around.

2. Customers like touching stuff before they buy. Sure, the information on the inserts like TRU used to have pretty much gave you all the information you needed, but it's just not enough for some idiots out there who just HAVE to see the box.

Case in point, it just won't happen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
