Yeah, they're doing right by their customers even though the Australian retail industry is doing all it can to not become obsolete.

By following Gerry Harvey... yeah forking right LOL.
Retail is dead, they made the mistake of not catching up with times and stocking locally made goods.

sadly i don't see the death of retail happening for a while, especially when digital distribution prices are jacked up so that retail can still compete.
...which i find hilarious anyway since most games stores treat the PC game market like a disease. But now that consoles are starting to test the waters of digital distribution more heavily, i can see retail panicking.
Still, they own the used game market
