Actually they're not since EB was bought out by gamestop... several years ago.BlackPhoenix0928 said:EB games and Gamestop are actually rival franchises!
Gamestop adjusts its prices on a daily basis, based on their price database. The reason you might find a game for the same price as a special edition price every so often is usually because the special edition wasn't selling as well as the regular edition was, so they were getting stuck with stock.
Gamestop price fixing is actually a really underhanded practice. I'd never sell a game back to gamestop, they'll give you 5$ for it and turn around and sell it for 5$ less than the retail price. Shop for games on amazon whenever you can. Stick it to Gamestop.
