Because it's part of a shopping centre, this particular EB Games isn't that large so I can't be a huge fan of it. However, it does have a decent selection for a lot of the "main games", so if you're looking for something a lot more popular, you can trust this place. PC Gaming: This place is NOT very good for PC Gaming. They have much more of a Xbox or PS3 selection. This is a bit disappointing because PC Gaming is the wave of the future - better graphics and in my opinion, much better control. It sucks that some game shops don't respect it. Essentially, if you're more of an Xbox gamer, this is the store for you. It's not that big, so it'll be good for bigger-named games. However, if you're more of a gaming fan go elsewhere.

This EB Games outlet is my favourite in Melbourne. I've never had a bad customer experience here,…read morewhich is weird because I have had bad experiences at pretty much every other outlet I have been to. Sometimes they can get busy, so you might have to wait a little bit by the registers to get served - but once that service comes, there is always a smile. Prices are not fantastic, and that is the same across the chain. That being said, they often have hard-to-find items, and the pick-up from an online order will generally fulfil any niche desire you might have.

I've gone back to the PC for most of my gaming, but I still check EB out. I do find that the PC games are overpriced, but in this age of digital distribution, I shouldn't be surprised. I have placed a few preorders for console games here in the past, and upon release date, I have yet to be disappointed. Good place, worth checking out.

I go into this place every time I'm at Knox. As with EB Games, I look around for stuff that interests me, then I usually go home and buy it online. That's just because I'm cheap and I'm a PC gamer, not a console gamer. Invariably, when I do buy stuff in GAME, I'm treated well by the staff, who are friendly, knowledgeable and chatty. If you're a geek like me, you'll feel right at home.

There seems to be a trend with JB Hi-Fi because I experienced the same thing with their CDs when my case were completely scratched up. Service: The employees were kind and helpful, but it's also a bit confusing because they don't have a set uniform. This one guy came up to me and said hello and I thought he was hitting on me (or maybe I just have an overblown ego) and so I awkwardly said hi. He then went over to man the cash register. This guy was in a sweatshirt and jeans. I guess I was supposed to tell he was an employee from the nametag dangling out of his pocket? Overall, the store has okay prices, but honestly they aren't amazing low to the point where you can give up the quality of the product as well. --- Also, JB Hi-Fi has several branches, all in a row but selling different things (with some overlap). Why can't you just combine it into one super-store, especially when they're all next to each other?

Most of my recent PC purchases have been through digital distribution, and it's just much more convenient. Doesn't work as well for consoles yet. I preordered Red Dead Redemption from here for my PS3 a long time ago. It was great, as I was assured to get it on the first day it was released. Got it, no problems. Spent every free minute for the next week and a bit playing it. Good times were had. If you're shopping for games for consoles, this is one of your best bets in this area.

MSY have been open for a few years now. I've been coming to this store for about three years, but…read moreI've been to some of the other stores too. This is the closest one to me, but I've found they're all much of a muchness. Five stars is a big call. There are some very big caveats to that rating, though. The first is that you absolutely must know what you're shopping for. Don't turn up and expect demonstration stock and staff showing you stuff. This isn't Harvey Norman. If you've got no idea about computer hardware, either take someone that does know (and presumably will be putting your computer together for you), or don't go. The second major caveat is that customer service is generally pretty poor. It's gotten better, but it's still not that crash hot. In the old days, you'd turn up, probably with their price list printed off, line up, ask for your parts, pay and leave. I went in yesterday and they'd changed it. You now walk through the shop, pick up what you want and then go and pay for it. I think it's more crucial now that you have that price list with you than it was before, because you're picking the parts yourself, and you need to know what the packaging looks like. So why five stars, after all that? Price. It's probably the cheapest place to pick up computer hardware in Australia. It's so cheap that I'm pretty sure this place is almost singlehandedly responsible for the death of computer swap meets. I've put together a few systems with stuff from here. Haven't had to return anything yet.

MSY is one amazing computer store for people who just want to get supplies and not be hassled by…read morestaff trying to convince you to buy different parts you don't need. MSY consists of walking in and either A. Finding your computer parts (not labelled with prices, though a 'Parts Guide' is supplied both online and in-store with ALL the items they sell and the prices. Some might not like this, but it makes it VERY easy to compare prices quickly between parts!), taking them to the counter and paying. B. Going to the counter and requesting the items which the staff have behind them. The main issue is customer service. They don't seem to be fans of answering phone calls to inquire about availability of products, and often when I go to the store I find the items I'm after are sold out. Luckily they always have alternatives at only a couple of dollars more, but it can be frustrating. As every other review has also said, DO NOT go asking questions here! Some staff are helpful and might answer a quick question (One asked if the amount of RAM was supported by my Motherboard, making sure I don't waste my money buying too much), but most are there just to take your money and keep things going quickly, which a lot of the customers would really appreciate. However, you can look past any issues with the store because of the prices! There is nowhere better in Australia to buy parts for low prices, that's for sure!
