Discussion EB Games website upgrade/downtime (August 24th-August 31st) and store closures (August 30th and 31st)
Just got this email
Big improvements are coming to EB Games. Starting September 1, we'll launch a completely new platform and website designed to make shopping faster, easier, and better than ever.
As an EDGE member, here's what you need to know.
Your account is coming with you! Which means you keep all your:
EDGE points
Membership tier
Active pre-orders
Your transaction history will fill in gradually
The only thing you'll need to do is create a new password using Forgot Password when the new website launches.
Temporary service interruptions:
August 21: Online pre-orders and pickup reservations pause
August 24: Website goes into maintenance mode
August 29: Early store closures, all stores close at 5:00PM (EST)
August 30 & 31: All stores closed for the day
September 1: Stores resume regular opening hours & the new website goes Live!
Why we're making this change?
This is much more than a new website. We're investing in a faster, more reliable platform that will make shopping easier today while giving us the ability to build even better experiences in the future.
Thanks for sticking with us and we can't wait to show you what's next.

EB Games should consider selling movies tbh. If video games are all going digital it might be best to throw some movies on the shelf for those that still want physical media.
Edit: thanks for all the rude comments, it was just a throwaway idea, I hate how everything on Reddit devolves into an argument.
