Default Video Games Stores Brisbane/Gold Coast

Hi everyone,
I wondered if anyone knows of some video games stores in or around Brisbane and the Gold Coast. I know there's Electronic Boutique in most major shopping centres, but I can't seem to find an online webpage for them. If anyone knows a link to it that would be great. Also, just if anyone knows any local games stores then I'd really appreciate it if you could list the names on here. I've tried looking up some on Google without much luck.
Thanks again
Tracy

Personally I wouldn't touch EB as they are racist.
We have been buying lots of games from them, new and second-hand.
They offer a buy back service (which is a rip-off anyway).
My son excitedly took some old games back to them in mint condition (they give $5.00 credit for them and re-sell for $20 upwards!) and they REFUSED as we did not have an Australian passport.
I have a UK one, Aussie driving licence, Aussie mortgage, Aussie rates, Aussie credit cards, Aussie utlities and 2 years of custom with that shop etc etc. The list is endless but the refused to buy back any games without an Aussie passport.
They no longer get my business and I now buy from the following on-line which I recommend:

www.cd-wow.biz (free delivery)
www.gamehead.com.au
www.shopbot.com.au
www.replaygames.com.au (second hand)
And e-bay of course!

Please nobody tell me that a policy of serving Australians only isn't racist.
Or that I should write to the manager etc.

Andrew

Thanks for the replies.
I will check out some of the pages listed. Sadly the EB website only tells you where they are located in Queensland, it doesn't allow you to buy directly online as that's an American site.
Some of the others look good though and I'll check them out. Got to make sure I have somewhere to order my new Nintendo Wii games when I get there in January.
