Gerry Harvey has just announced that Harvey Norman is starting up a new website which will sell import European copies of video games at vastly reduced prices. The site is officially opening at 6pm this evening and will continue forthwith. According to Gerry himself, “if you can’t beat them, join them.”
Ruslan Kogan made a huge splash earlier this year when he got into a war of words with Gerry Harvey over pricing of consumer electronics. At the time, we decided not to cover the slanging match – it was perfect fodder for Today Tonight, but not so much Giz. But last week Gerry Harvey came out petitioning the government to start charging GST on all products purchased online from overseas. Hey Gerry, why don’t you move with the times, get online and STFU?
