Wouldn't it have been to unsticky GTA4 and leave this (perpetually visited but rarely updated) up the top of the tree?

Madmya · Post by **Madmya** » 04 Jun 2008 11:25 am

I'm with shaneus. If GTA4 is interesting enough the thread will stick around.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 04 Jun 2008 11:50 am

And by "I'm with shaneus" he means "I'm of the same opinion as Shaneus".

Just thougt I'd clear that up just in case anyone got the wrong idea (tomby).

Can we update the thread title with "PGR4 $29 @ JB" or something? That shit needs to be advertised.

you run out of text quickly

Good job anyways! If I can't be the one who updates/maintains this thread (properly) then I'm glad it's you

Probably already posted somewhere, but NG2 and GRID are available from Play Asia for around $56 each incl shipping.

ooo snap as well.

Fuck videogames are becoming cheap.

Replica · Post by **Replica** » 05 Jun 2008 12:12 pm

Cheaper in Oz maybe. We are just so used to getting bent over and raped sideways comparitive to the US in regards to pricing that a $50 - $60 seems like a good deal. On the plus side at least we dont pay UK pricing.

Its not actualy that bad. A new release game works out about 3-4hrs wages as opposed to when I was in NZ and it was about 8hrs wages, well, thats what it is to me. Obviously you cant really work stuff out like that, but its a way I look at it personally. Its only the rent and bills that fuck me over here. I could buy a PS3 and Uncharted a month just for my room, not a flat, a room.

*edit*
Launch PS3, not current prices.

Didn't see it on that list, but I just picked up DIRT on PS3 at 50% off. Noice.

Harvey Norman (Xbox 360) current cataloge

* Burnout Paradise - $58
* DIRT - $38

Blotto · Post by **Blotto** » 07 Jun 2008 04:17 pm

Dirt for $38 is a fucking bargain.....

Cheap (really fucking cheap!) 360 games and other bargains. I just picked up Prey ($10), Table Tennis ($10) and Condemned ($20) for $40 total

TDU was $20, but I didn't bother... too many driving games atm!

They also have Dirt (at selected stores, check the website) for 360 for $20!

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 08 Jun 2008 04:26 pm

PS Everyone should subscribe to the Ecogamer.com news feed... without that, I wouldn't have found these awesome bargains.

Hmm. $7 for Amped3. $10 for COD2. $20 for Dead Rising. $20 for Forza2. MotoGP 06 $7. Ridge Racer6 $10.
Hmmm. Might have to buy a few of these.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 08 Jun 2008 05:59 pm

If you're near a store that has Amped 3, can you pick it up for me? Neither of the Geelong DSEs had it in, and you can't order it online

westical · Post by **westical** » 09 Jun 2008 06:25 pm

JB still had PGR4 stickered as $69.95. Guess I should have grabbed the catalogue walking in the door instead of out...

Madmya · Post by **Madmya** » 09 Jun 2008 06:38 pm

I like PGR4, it's a definite improvement over the third. The motorbikes provide a fun dynamic and while it's inferior to Forza, it's a nice break. Plus it has Geo Wars: Waves.

DjBigK · Post by **DjBigK** » 09 Jun 2008 09:51 pm

I picked up Lego Star Wars II on 360 for $14 at DSE yesterday.

Ticketed at $20 - all games $30 off.

They had TDU there for that price, NBA 2k6 $10.. and a few others as well.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 09 Jun 2008 10:07 pm

yeah DSE is having a huge clearance, Amped 3 is like $7

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 09 Jun 2008 10:13 pm

Anyone had a chance to grab Amped for me?

Twiztid Elf · Post by **Twiztid Elf** » 09 Jun 2008 10:25 pm

As tempted as I am to go get some of these games, I'm going to skip it. I don't care how much of a bargain some of these games are, I'll never find the time to play them, so i'm going to pass.
