Video Ezy still exists and is selling cheap games

Remember Video Ezy from the retro days of actually leaving your house to rent a movie?

Not only does it still exist, unlike most local video rental stores, Video Ezy is selling games at a suspiciously low price.

AusGamers discovered that Dishonored is being sold on PS3 and Xbox 360 for just $51.16 and 30.36 on PC, while XCOM: Enemy Unknown is $54.36 on consoles.

That leads us to believe Video Ezy grey importing games from the UK and Europe, and selling them locally at a heavily discounted price.

I think they'll be online only cause they look to be imports anyway.

Apparently its just being used as a front to sell games from 'wowhd'.

I dunno exactly how that works but that's what the talk is on other forums, so don't expect to be getting your games in a day or two as they will most likely be shipped from overseas from what I gather.

I still go there quite often... Because I do not pirate stuff :@

One near me did sell games and they were pretty clearly grey imported by the pricing, but this was a fair while ago. The closest one to me doesn't have much in the way of games but it's friggin tiny.

Theres about 3 of these within close proximity.

Don't you guys ever rent Blu-Rays or anything!?

Really hoped these were in store prices. And yea figured it was online only when I saw the different age ratings on the covers. :(

Just pre-ordered Far Cry 3 on PC for $26!
Looks like I'll be getting Black Ops 2 and PlayStation All-Stars from here as well. Can't find them any cheaper!
