Now the question is... anything going to change?

 Hmm...interesting.  I dont think that changing the name in Canada would be a good idea as  only now is the "EB Games" name becoming well known (and trusted).

 I'm a fan of EB Games' downtown location for 2 reasons:

-Proximity

-Friendly staff

It's the only game store I've been too that joked around with me and had the general ambiance of a comic store.

 I dont even look at the other shops.  I know that i can preorder months/years in advance for a game, and i KNOW that it WILL be there on the day its supposed to be.

I can ask for recommendations, and if it sucks, i can exchange the game later.

The whole Previously Abused Exchange Program is also a nice little feature, on a couple of occasions ive traded in for free games.

 I don't have to cross two streets or go outside to get to the one downtown, also the one in Clairview is populated entirely with Vahzilok abominations.

 Argh. And I know, as a fellow blaster, how quick the acidic puke brings you to unconsciousness... Although superspeed-kiting works pretty good. Have you got the EB clerks running around into walls with their hands up in the air, ignoring your attempts to Chat with them? ;)

 Yeah, unfortunatly they emit this "Intellect Drain" aura that affects everyone around them, it's painful to hold conversations....
