PS2 games were $110 far into the generation, not just at EB.

$119, first game I bought for PS3 (in Australia) in 2008 from EB.
Second one was $99 AFTER price match from JB.
Since then, haven't paid more than $69 for any game.
Fool me once, shame me twice, fuck me if you dupe me thrice.
Aw, was hoping for $55 deal like they did with Second son.
Wolf is $55 on US PSN store btw.

It's like 50GB's though >_<

But you can start playing after 10% is downloaded, so that's not too bad.
I think the retail price of Wolf will drop pretty quickly to sub $60 by end of the month.

I would finish playing the first chapter well before the other 45GB downloaded though lol
Internet is way too slow out here, even 4GB games take forever on Steam/PSN/XBL

Sweet deal, my brother is planning on picking up Wolfenstein and TLoUHD, so I'll be sure to let him know about this.
Thanks for posting it.
All finished with my primary school work placement. Loved the experience, the stimulation, interacting with the kids and the community and generally had a pretty awesome two-weeks.
Unfortunately I didn't do so well on the report.. basically got a at-risk assessment - which means that I satisfied some expectations but not all, and need support for my next round. Which is a bit disheartening to say the least. Overall report was basically my theoretical knowledge was excellent, was very reflective, had a lot of enthusiasm and generally gave my best effort during the whole round, unfortunately my practical abilities in how I communicate to the students, deliver the lessons and classroom management and so on need serious work, which I pretty much agree with as my first lesson teaching was a disaster.. subsequent lessons were better but still need a lot of work.
Hope I'm not in a situation like where I'm a aspiring artist trying to be van gogh despite the fact I have no natural ability for art whatsoever.. still really confident about pushing through with this, because despite my poor performance there wasn't a minute where I didn't love the whole experience, and really eager to improve as much as I can in my weakest areas before moving on to the next placement next year. Will probably be seeing a counsellor soon as it's possible the personal issues I'm having right now (unrelated to the placement) might be having more of a impact on me more than I'd like to admit.>:

Uhh yeah, of course, that's why you are training to be a school teacher. A new teacher has to learn how to run classrooms, that's the same with any job once you get out of uni since most of the uni work is theory not practical. That's like my main pet hate about uni.
I mean, all the green teachers I had in school were terrible in terms of controlling and directing classrooms. It was only the ones who had a few years experience that could manipulate the room.
Is season 5 that good though? I have only watched a few episodes but it didn't seem to have the greatness of earlier in the series.
Good thing is due to how good I am at uni and getting my shit together and sending in my assignments it does give me some extra time to pursue stuff like acting classes, volunteering, socialising to improve those practical skills that are necessary for the job.. also have a job (outside school hours care) that I'm going be sure to practice everything I learned from that placement when I start that back up again next week. Also networked with a lot of teachers due to my political activist stuff which will give me a lot of support, even had a friend whom I told about the experiences that said I should ask a friend of ours (whose a veteran primary school teacher) and ask to get some volunteering in her classroom done, might even let me teach a lesson or two in her class for practice.
I've only covered 15 out of 80 days so far. So plenty of time to improve. It's a damn shame universities don't give you 120-days at the very least, and have all this focus on theory.. I mean having a good grasp of theory is necessary to be a great teacher, but it's useless as I've learned in this placement without having the practical skills right.
It is? Showing 60 for me, am I just not cool enough?

20% off voucher on the front page.
Even better, thanks for helping the slow kids out
Edit: Never done a pre order on GMG before, do they send a key right away or not until release?
Don't know how I feel. I burnt out on the show after a couple of seasons. Though I did try it again after whats his name, Harmon, returned. Did not have the allure of the early days for me.
But really that's pretty much my problem with all sitcoms. Works for a couple of seasons, but after that I'm done. About the last time a sitcom got me watching it for the long haul was Seinfeld.
Browsing around the Chromecast Google+ community I spotted a posting where the Quickflix guys talk about how they are midway through adding Chromecast support.
Which being a Chromecast fan am pretty happy about. Sure Quickflix is a poor Netflix clone, but its good to see local support for Chromecast. So maybe we will see iView support this decade and maybe a local Chromecast release soon.

just saw this and lold
Haha.
Just finished it myself too, apparently there's a secret ending if you finish it with the platinum. It looks incredible on ps3 was disappointed with the vita when I tried that version. Frame rate still got choppy a few times on ps3 though.
Loved the game

Generally not until release, sometimes a day or two earlier.

You Syd North Shore as well? It got me out of seeing in-laws, so that's something.

IMO most long-running American sitcoms wear out their welcome long before they're canceled. Community was still pretty great, even if it wasn't as good as the first couple of seasons.
Most excited for Louie right now, resumed this week and is still awesome.
They did this to me on both Easter weekend AND Anzac Weekend.
But wildstar is cheap on there! ;D

shouldn't be too hard to find a stream. Geocockblock something that's free and a giant ad? Dumber things have happened but this isn't one. yet.
I know, and I can't order it!! Hence my rage!
(P.S. I'll pay someone to order it for me)
Already bound to my account so I probably can't buy it again otherwise i would.
You can't use paypal?

I feel you bro. My mum is undergoing chemo currently. Had bowel cancer they found in Feb.
No, I can't use anything. Tried all my cards and paypal attached to bank account. It's been this way for 18 months. Annoyed as hell.
