I don't mind them pushing consoles this much, but, they are absolutely retarded with pricing. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, at least a 2 year old Gamecube game is STILL more than $55 (Canadian) this is absolute bull shit. I bought it the day it was released for about $63 CAD, so in 2 years it's gone down all of $8? diaf EBgames.

Edit: One of the biggest reasons I think people hate BB and FS is the absolutely horrendous customer service they hire. A few weeks ago my girlfriend was getting her things together to head to the airport for her vacation in Mexico and we happened to pass by a FutureShop that was doing some grand opening sales (we heard about it earlier and had a flyer with us). We saw a very nice 7 megapixel Sony camera that was on sale for only $99, her dad thought it was an awesome price and we went in to to buy it for her to supplement her sweet ass Nikon.
Anyways, we walk in and are greeted by an older lady of Asian decent who doesn't speak English very well, that's okay, she says hello and gives us an updated flyer. We wander around a bit and make our way to the camera section in the absolutely dead sales floor; I'm talking many groups of 2-4 sales reps standing around talking to each other. After searching the camera section two reps approach us and ask us "Help you?? Help you??" in very thick middle eastern accents, their names Khajid and something similar. We point out in the flyer the camera we wanted and ask if they have any of it and they (clumsily) tell us that they have it, but are not able to give the sale price until tomorrow morning.
Absolutely stupefied, we ask them why and how this is possible, whereupon we receive the startling revelation that it is a "soft" grand opening, merely a practice for tomorrow. We think this is just ridiculous and want to speak with a manager when we are informed that none are working today. When asked to show us something similar in the same price range they show us cameras at the original price ($300+), say nothing about the camera except that "It is good, it sell well", then launching in to a 5-minute ramble on the service plan. Completely ridiculous that they advertised this great priced camera and couldn't even give us the damn thing, no manager to complain to, sub-par customer service (only one of many examples on how bad they are)
