Well, it looks like JB Hi Fi is broadening its market. At my last visit, I saw them selling beginner acoustic guitar packages. There’s also a small selection of DJ equipment towards the back. The staff seem more interested in customers, and will now take the initiative to greet and approach you, asking if you would like some help. While they are still not open to haggling, their deals are still fair and you would be hard-pressed to find a better price for computer equipment.

The Joondalup store of JB Hi Fi isn’t that big, everything is kind of crammed in, which means you have to watch your step, or your elbows. I like most people in the past few years have become a bit of a price shopper. I am no longer loyal to one store, this is especially true for electronics and games. I recently looking to buy an Xbox 360. I checked with all the major stores for their prices and what bundle offers they had available. JB HiFi was the best value for money hands down. For $ 440 I got the Xbox 360, with Kinetic and two games. The staff at JB HiFi are helpful and knowledgeable. I think it was pretty obvious I am not a big gamer, but they answered by questions and did not laugh at me, which was nice. I did have a chuckle to myself when I saw that they have a huge range of headsets, and a series of mirrors so you can see what you look like wearing them. It took me a full minute to figure out that is what the mirrors are for. Really people, we are worried about what we look like when we are listening to music or playing computer games at home now?

This is easily one of the busiest JB Hi-Fis I have come across in Perth. It is positively teeming with people. Or maybe this is just the sense that one gets in light of the store’s size: it’s pretty small, with displays jostling for space within a metre of the entrance and continuing right to the back, and the customers elbowing each other between the digital SLRs and the iPad 2 are really just trying to beat out a path to the air and the light beyond their claustrophobia. The range is excellent and the staff, as seems to befit JB, are genuinely knowledgeable about what they’re peddling. I’m currently in the market for a tablet computer and the guidance I have received from JB Hi-Fi staff has been very helpful.
