AusGAF 2.0 - Twice the price, a year late but still moving forward

Update on my Move price hunt: cheapest so far seems to be ozgameshop.com, which I believe is a spinoff of 365games.co.uk. Not sure how delivery times go or where the pack is actually from (I'm guessing UK) but it's the Euro pack (no full game, just the demo disc) for $80AU with free shipping. If you aren't counting on having it on launch day, this is probably the best path to go down.

I think it's the best MP shooter consoles have ever seen. Halo 3 that is. But COD 5 is also loads of fun.
I dunno, i've been playing FPS for years and the wide spectrum of asshats on Halo seemed no more or less than anything else. i think the 360's easier access to voice comms make it more in your face thought (their asshattery that is).

My experience with them is shipping times vary between the 1-2 week mark.
Don't think I've ever waited more then 2 weeks.

Same for both. I think they still ship from the same place, just the website is catered for Aussies? (May be wrong).
I didn't notice any difference in shipping times.

The only real perk is that since the prices are in AUD you don't need to pay any foreign transaction fees, so you can save a dollar or two on a large order. Shipping from 365games is also free to Australia and the stock is coming from exactly the same place, as they are the same company (Xbite or something).

So far i haven't but there might be.
Prices should be fairly static and on-par with the current exchange rates (or a more averaged out price). I think you will find that they have averaged out previous fluctuations in the rates to get a stable Australian Price (as you will notice it dosn't change- so its static). The "uK" site however the price you pay will be based on the current exchange rate rather then the Australian static price on the OZ site. This means that if the pound drops considerably or a few % then what they have based the price on- then you might be better off on the UK site- otherwise the Australian site will have the same price.DualShadow said:

The last one was pretty fun, but the issue is organisation.Ventron said:
Also, the thread has kinda crawled since we were moved.
On a SydGaf meetup, I'm up for it if we can find a place. I'm guessing that new Mana Bar won't open for a while, so perhaps we could pick one of the places in The Rocks, like The Belgian Beer Cafe (did BrisGaf end up going to their version of that, or not?), The Lowenbrau or the Australian Heritage Hotel Bar. Maybe even Pancakes on the Rocks if people want to eat more than drink.
On the Halo thing, I've just never been into pure FPS games since the days of Duke Nukem 3D and Hexen. I think they're just not my thing. I also find racing games boring (except gimmicky games like Mario Kart) and can't stand sport sims, so there's virtually nothing I want to play on the 360 that I can't play on my Wii and PS3.
I would like to try out some of the Rare games, but it's not enough to buy the console, and none of the friends that I've visited the houses of have owned an X-Box or 360, so there's been no reason to try them out there. I guess I could have tried a demo console in store at some point, but at this stage, I almost feel like it'll be fun to see how long I can last...

Kinokuniya is probably your best betCryptiK said:

Kings Comics
Comic Kingdom
Borders (Pitt St Mall)
Dymocks.
But yea. Kinokuniya is the best in terms of manga variety and stock. Good luck finding a volume of manga that isn't bent to hell and back thanks to the asian instore readers though.
Aon make Gamecrux review good: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
