Take a trip back to last December. Remember the big kerfuffle over where to preorder Wii console? Many chose to take an offer that allowed them to reap a reward straight away, but some chose to get vouchers that could be used at a later date. While most of the vouchers offered by shops turned out good some turned to be a little less than spectacular. Lastly there was the EB Games offer where for about 6 months now they have offered a game every month for a slightly discounted price as part of their VIP card deal. Well it turns out EB is turfing the idea at the end of this month after Mario Party 8. More Inside.
In an e-mail sent to VIP card holders, they have devalued the news with a verb filled (seriously using temperature to describe anything that isn’t hot is quite dumb) explanation.

With the launch of our HOT new website – www.ebgames.com.au this will be our last VIP email. Please head onto our exciting new website and sign up to be a member to receive monthly updates with exclusive deals for Web members only. Thankyou for your support of the VIP deals, and don’t forget to sign up as a web member to receive EB Exclusive deals each month.

So while on opportunity ends, another reveals itself. However this news can’t help but ring of “I told you so.” We knew EB would screw you in the end.
