JB Hi-Fi: You Are Good At Starcraft II Jokes

JB Hi-Fi is renowned for its often hilarious staff reviews, but this joke is altogether more subtle.


How Dead Space 3 Became Free At JB Hi-Fi For Some Pre-Order Customers

JB H-Fi have stopped taking pre-orders for the Dead Space 3 Limited Edition, and will not be able to fulfil existing pre-orders for the game — they are, however, offering a free standard edition of the game to anyone affected.


What Will 2013 Do To Aussie Games Retail?

Australia’s not exactly blessed with lots of competing video game retail chains. What’s the story likely to be in 2013, and does physical retail matter any more in any case?


The Australian Kid Trying To Buy Black Ops II For $15,000

It’s the strangest story of the day: a rogue schoolboy, haranguing all the major games retailers in the Melbourne area, in a desperate, futile attempt to buy an early copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops II.


Oh, This Is A Pretty Good PS Vita Deal…

The PS Vita has struggled a little, there’s no getting around it. The competition is pretty intense in the general mobile market, and the Vita hasn’t really broken through. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a great piece of tech, and it certainly doesn’t mean there isn’t good software out there. So if you’ve been toying with the idea of getting a Vita, particularly for the new LittleBigPlanet game, this is a pretty good deal.


The Case Of The Northland JB Hi-Fi Pre-Owned Games

It started with a post on my Facebook timeline, from my friend, and presenter on New Game Plus, Bradley Jolly. A single photograph, of some crazy hand-drawn video game cases in the pre-owned section of JB Hi-Fi Northland. I can only assume they were drawn to replace the real covers. God only knows. Regardless, they are absolutely incredible.


JB Hi-Fi: ‘More Competitive Pricing To Drive Growth’ In Games Throughout 2012/2013

JB Hi-Fi has released its end of financial year report, and commented on the numerous issues retail has faced over the last 12 months, along with what the company expects from the next financial year. The plan for the games division? Capitalise on store closures from “competitors” and push in “more competitive local pricing”.


JB Hi-Fi Taking 20% Off All Games, Two Games For $40 On Selected Range

Well, this is quite the deal. Today JB Hi-Fi is taking 20 per cent off all games in stock — not a selected range, all games — which is pretty awesome by itself, but it’s also running a two games for $40 deal. I didn’t need all that money anyway…


JB Hi-Fi Game Reviews: The Greatest Hits

The last time we posted a JB Hi-Fi review on Kotaku I said something along the lines of “someone should really make a tumblr for this stuff”. And what do you know? One exists! And it’s brilliant. This JB Hi-Fi tumblr collects all the best JB Hi-Fi reviews photographed on the wild and posts them onto its tumblr. I thought we’d post some of the better video game reviews!
