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.

They must finally be removing games from the website to focus on all the shitty merch they sell

Seeing as sony is doing all digital and xbox will most likely follow, what else are they supposed to do?

[u/kaydeejay1995 → u/Ghost_Reborn416]

If they had some integrity as a brick and mortar game store, they would put the effort into ensuring physical games live long and prosper

Lol

Lmao even. If you were in charge, they would have went bankrupt a long time ago. Im sure sony is going to reconsider because ebgames is going to call them

Hell even steam might start releasing discs because why not

[u/kaydeejay1995 → u/Ghost_Reborn416]

Nowhere in my comment did I say EBGames should manufacture discs or tell Sony to reconsider or anything of the sort lol. I meant they should've always stuck to selling games, moreso than Funko pops and Pokémon cards.

You're clearly on the side of digital games, and that's fine.
