As some of you would know, I have a deep-seeded hatred for EB Games, but recently, they’ve just got worse. They’ve always been utter rip-offs, especially when it comes to trade-ins, and their recent promotion is even worse:

So, you need to trade in your PS3 with 4 games and then still pay $200 to get an extra 20gig.

This, despite the fact that the new model doesn’t have any update to it’s hardware, and it’s also no longer backwards-compatible, meaning that you can’t play your old PS2 games on it any more. They’ll also re-sell those games for only about 5 or 10 bucks cheaper than full-price.

But the biggest kicker? All this is for an extra 20gig. Why is this such a big stickler for me? How about the fact that the PS3’s harddrive is just a regular PC harddrive, meaning you can go to any PC store, and buy 250gig for under $100, then despite the fact that they don’t advertise it anymore, if you call up Sony, they’ll even tell you how to install it - and this will not void your warranty.

EB Games does nothing but prey on the stupid.
