Was never going to be any cheaper, especially on release, like always give it a month or two for prices to settle. Me, there isn't enough jump over the 780 for me to justify it, will wait for next revision.

 

[Stackboy]

Will ausgaf be present in forza horizon 2? The multiplayer looks much fun, but I'm practically friendsless on xbox =(

I'll be playing it, but not for a couple of weeks. Getting married and honeymoon and all that. Gamertag is Stackboy Royale if you want to add me.

I already sent the code to Stackboy. I dunno if he's used it or not though.

Sorry I was off the grid yesterday, I cashed in the code this morning, thanks Rizzi!!

How difficult is it to get an Australian VPN?

Also I'd be willing to throw a couple bucks a month to GAFer for their account. Literally all I want is access to Max TV. Don't care about anythign else.

I think this is the weirdest thing I have heard this week. VPN into Australia.

I'm told I have a pretty mild accent so it's not surprising that it works well for me.

Where in the states were you guys, and for how long?

Depending on a few different things, I'll probably be moving to San Diego in the near future.

I'm from NY originally. San Diego is really nice though, one of the better California cities if you ask me.

Its not that weird. There's lots of expats out there.

Not a VPN, but I wonder if getflix would work to accessing iview from outside Australia.

Though that probably wouldn;t help with Foxtel Play. Speaking of which, their fine print says:

*New Australian residential users with a compatible internet connected device running an eligible operating system.

So it would clearly be geolocked.

I found this comparison article though of VPNs with Australian ips.

Yea I know the prices are somewhat justified, I'm probably a bit jaded. It was a massive shock for me when I went to my first Aussie pub and had to pay 6$ for a beer. I remember people in Belgium cracking over a 10cent price increase.

Tell me about it. I was in Belgium for a week last year and it was all I could do not to leave the country with one of everything.

Might check out those places next weekend. Have you got any other local recommendations.

There's not a lot of great beer shops (quite a few bars now), but those two are probably the best and they're conveniently close to one another.

It's not super hard (bit of Linux knowledge required) to set up your own dns and reverse proxy to do this. In fact you could use the free tier in Amazon Web Services to accomplish this.

What the fuck would you do in San Diego?

Same, would a bulk order save more money?

 

[Darren870]

Will put this out there again

Anyone have an USD currency in there paypal that they are looking to get rid of? Will happily swap it for AUD.

Need some USD in my bank account for my US CC Bill.

Sit on the beach the whole year drinking IPAs and eating fish tacos.

The additional cost of posting to one place in aus, then posting to another from there would probably outweight any additional benefits to shipping 3-4 together from the US.

Usually costs more in postage to buy something here in Australia than it does from Amazon

Damn you AusPost!

 

[Tommy DJ]

Well I feel better about my GTX780 that's for sure. Fuck me sideways, a $200 premium over the US pricing. Fuck our middlemen.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Target sale, instore and online

LEGO Undercover on WiiU for $47

[jambo]

Gotta get me those sweet, sweet XBone game deals now rep!

 

[reptilescorpio]

lol cheap X1 games? Hit up Play Asia. They are always trying to clear out US copies lol. Example: Madden 25 for USD$13 before postage
Best thing about X1 is your AU profile can buy games through the US webstore, unlike on PSN. Soooo basically you will never ever buy an AU digital game lol

Also FUCK ME SIDEWAYS Imma import me a 970 from the US.

 

[jambo]

So do I just need to set up my XBone with UnBlockUs DNS and then I can access the US store prices?

Also EB have Trials Fusion Deluxe on XBone for $23, which seems pretty good.

 

[Kritz]

Just hit 100k users / 250k orders complete in CBD.
Man I should monetise that game at some point >_>

 

[jambo]

Hats!

LEGO CITY MOTHERFUCKING UNDERCOVER

also

Spoiler

Infamous is okay at best but if you have a PS4 it's worth playing, it's just not worth buying a PS4 to play- if you undertstand my meaning

Nope, just change to US region on console or website!

Also Trials has been that price a bunch of times. Buy it if you wanna play Trials I guess. That game fell off the radar super fast.

I already have it on Steam, just posting for others.

I have Destiny and Forza 5 for XBone, next purchase will be Horizon 2 and then if nothing else comes up, Halo MCC.

EDIT: Also maybe Diablo III if I can get it cheapo.

Just put some mandatory Google ads in at the bottom. Maybe make people wait three seconds or something in between rounds or whatever.

Dick Smith has $15 off of orders over $65 with the code TRY15

Bought Driveclub with it. Been craving something akin to old school Need For Speed and I'm hoping it delivers on that front. If not, I'm pretty sure I can make my $55 back.

 

[jambo]

I'm going to try out Driveclub via the PS+ edition.

Really looking forward to Forza Horizon 2 though, getting real TDU vibes from it.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just use hola unblocker to bypass these things.

Now I've gotten him to play Driver PS1 on Vita and try to get past the first fucking bullshit garage level. I'm a real mean bastard of a boss sometimes.

 

[jambo]

That poor kid...

 

[toastyToast]

We had no memory card when I was younger so I had to do the driving test every time I wanted to play the game. Really don't remember it being difficult at all.

Preordered GTAV PS4, cheers. Don't expect it'll be any cheaper than $55 on release.

Don't suppose you're going to PAX?

Also those PA comics are spot on

I actually just laughed at a PA comic for the first time in years. You should feel bad, jambo.

Most definitely yes.

 

[reptilescorpio]

GTX 970 is only $378 posted from Amazon <_>

Will hold out until after PAX when I will have more money. PC gaming here I come again!

Does anyone know of d4 has been released on the au xbox one store?

Yup it's out. Pretty sure you can just grab the US download anyway.
