In case you weren’t aware, EB Games loves a fucking sale. Like, really fucking loves one.
The collective mentality of EB Games franchisees the world over is, and always has been, every surface without a poster declaring BIGGEST SALE EVER!!!, 80% OFF!!!!, 2 GAMES 4 THE PRICE OF ONE!!! is a surface wasted.
Here’s what the frontage of your average EB Games outlet looks like:
The more haphazardly-slapped the sale sign, the better:
Sometimes extra signs bearing outlandish statements are DIYed for maximum impact :
The below is literally as close to ‘applied sparingly’ as it gets:
Like where the fuck is the entrance to this one, even?:
Anyway, the sale sign is EB Games’ thing – they know it, the internet knows it.
EXCEPT one store in Australia has either missed the memo or decided to go against the sale-sign-vomit grain because LOOK:
So white. So glassy. So open. So barren.
A deeply unsettled passerby named Pat took the above photo of the plain ol’ store, believed to be in the Sydney suburb of Rhodes, and posted it to EB Games Australia’s Facebook page to ask ‘WTF’:
Hey guys, I went past one of your stores today and noticed there wasn’t 15,542 SALE signs, is something wrong? this is unsettling.

But apparently the madness doesn’t even stop at that one store, because reams more commenters have declared their local EB Games store to be similarly plain.
Here are the confirmed locations of disturbingly clean stores so far: Townsville, Mt. Gravatt, Browns Plains, Rockhampton Stocklands, Maroochydoore Centre.
*shudders*
WE’RE SORRY WE EVER CRITICISED YOUR LIBERAL APPLICATION OF SIGNAGE, EB GAMES.
PLEASE, RETURN THINGS TO THEIR NATURAL ORDER.
Love,
P.TV and everyone else. x
