EBGames launches sexist ad campaign in Australia

EBGames launched a sexist ad campaign which advises men how to save money on games, thus leaving more cash to appease their female companions.

And we wonder why no one takes gaming seriously.

Makes those horribly stupid GameStop commercials look like Shakespeare in comparison, though.

That's a nice message for kids. Will I be able to understand my wife after I take her to dinner?

Is Australian EB owned by the same folks as American EB/Gamestop? I'm always looking for new reasons not to patronize them.

Also: Would the ad be any less offensive if it were not really crummy looking?

Guy tunes his wife's nagging out, so what? Blowing it way outta proportion, although it is a pretty lame ad anyway. Why does everything have to be considered sexist or racist these days? Bunch of oversensitive pansies.

If you found that sexist.....you might be Forever Alone guy.

So, I'm really curious as to why North America can't get these collector's editions...

It feels like a real slap to the face, honestly.

Nodoze1720d ago

100% agreed. Non Astral Chain collectors edition (other two territories have one), no Daemon collector, no Luigi's mansion special edition....

FIRE HIM.

seems like lately we haven't been getting much in the way of Collectors Editions meanwhile Europe and other parts of the world get to reap the rewards. At least the System is region free, so if you have a way of importing these without too much of a hit to the cost then you can do so easily.
