The Sexiest Boutique on the Net
Review of eb.uk.com (Electronics Boutique) by ia_young

Advantages: good range of reasonably priced games
Disadvantages: none

Many of you will probably be familiar with Electronics Boutique as a name on the High Street or Shopping Mall at least. If you don’t I will give a brief description of what they sell, here it comes… Electronics Boutique is in the highly lucrative computer games retail market and they sell games for all the major consoles and formats on the market. This is not going to be a review about them, but this is going to be a review about their ...

Shopping online at EB is a waste of time
Review of eb.uk.com (Electronics Boutique) by mg_45

Advantages: good price, loyalty scheme, nice design
Disadvantages: your order may never actually turn up, which in anyone's books must not be a good thing

Eb.uk.com, then, the online arm of the respected high-street trader. Elecronics Boutique. What you might think would be a good place to start your christmas shopping, yes? perhaps not. Recently I tried to purchase a product from the site. I ordered, it was a couple of pounds cheaper than in the high street and delivery was free. The web site told me that my order would be dispatched immediatlely, and that I would receive it within two business days. ...
...to get done in business, but when I still hadn't received my order two weeks later, I was slightly annoyed. I had only ordered it online because it would be quicker than in the high street, where GAME had run out of stock on that particular item. When I emailed EB about this, I received no reply, and then emailed twice more, getting no reply, again. I then resorted to the telephone hotline, but after waiting in a queue for half an hour, I decided ... Read review

EB is high street why bother
Review of eb.uk.com (Electronics Boutique) by segassassin

Advantages: Reputable, editorial content, smart layout
Disadvantages: Prices

There are many online game stores, but EB has the backing of a high street store foundation. Most people usually turn to EB for their gaming needs, but I often think why? Okay... "its convenient" they say. Maybe, but in an online store, every game store is just a click away. The prices online are above average, you're paying almost RRP prices for the latest releases, whereas gameswire.com usually get their latest games in at £30! The layout of the ... Read review

Electronic Boutique
Review of eb.uk.com (Electronics Boutique) by Muckell

Advantages: Good Managment, Recent Deals Signed, PS2 release.
Disadvantages: Lot of hype on Sony PS2 release,

Here we have a computer software retailer which at this point last year was seeming to struggle. A Profits warning at Christmas and a downhill ride for the share prices, and with that many unhappy investors. This was due to the high discounting that was taking place in the sector. Price was started out between companies such as Tescos & Dixons, Electronic Boutique had to follow suit. The shares hit an all time low of 25p, however the management had ...
...share and to increase their market on the Internet. A partnership argeement was signed with Netscape, EB were granted exclusive rights to Netscape games retailer and in return EB distributed Netscape CD's in store. Cable & Wireless argeed to a similer type of deal to allow EB rights to the forthcoming Open Channel games reseller. Shares have begun to react to this. Brokers are beginnig to change their ratings on EB. The prices is about to change. ... Read review

DO NOT BUY FROM EB
Review of eb.uk.com (Electronics Boutique) by al.humbie

Advantages: Cheapest place on the net!
Disadvantages: No pictures or descriptions

EB is a waste of time stop going to their site or store go to this one instead - http://www.gameoveruk.com/ - it is quick, effiecnt and down right cheap! OK so the web site is boring has no content, no picture or descriptions of the games that they sell, but hey the prices are so damm cheap, all the latest releases on the Playstation are only £22.99 with free delivery, if you walked into your local EB store they would be £29.99! What a saving! They ... Read review
