That’s really odd for EBGames to do that. The store @ Lougheed Mall keeps the cards in a locked drawer and an empty box on the shelf for the 60 day game cards. I’ve never been given a box when I asked for a game card.

But now I just pay by credit card and save myself from accumulating those cards, which keep turning up even when I thought I got rid of the last one.

@Bob the the cards were behind the and underneath the counter. I couldn’t see them, I had to ask for it.

@james I agree, let me pick it up at 711 instead of wasting gas to drive to the other side of the world to get one

Strange thing is, with the global recession and focus on environmental issues, you’d tink Blizz would cut back on the fluff. Make them cards smaller and sell them at checkouts like 7-11, Gamestop, Fry’s, whatever. They’d likely sell a lot more while needing to spend far less.

yeah it’s so you can see the cards of the shelf. But it’s all around with many products

P.S. To answer your question, almost everything! The worst I have bought lately is a micro-sd card. The ratio of product to packaging is rediculous!

I am not a fan of over packing. I suppose one thing you could do to get around this is to use a pre-paid credit card for your online needs…
