If you want a ballpark on prices just use gamecafe.com.au, it updates with prices from most of the worthwhile stores although it includes out of stock stuff that hasn't been taken down yet. OzGameShop actually re-stocks most things eventually though which is great for niche titles.Jintor said:
Edit: 99% of the time just check OzGameShop though unless someone has a sale, like Zavvi with their Mad Monday sales. Ecogamer does a round-up most days of any bargains. Steam is great for sales and the odd US equivalently priced title but the publishers have gotten on top of it since COD released at full US price.

They should at least update the games they are offering for play, Raskulls has been out for some time now. Are they geeks or just cater to geeks? I know Yahtzee from his hatred of most modern games (and cuddling of Silent Hill 2) but haven't heard of the others.HolyCheck said:

Dukes! Well at the worst they will gimp it for Australian audiences and 'accidentally' allow for an online patch to make it the unrated version like they did with the first game and the cards. Still sucks balls we haven't had any details on what has happened. Still up at GOG for me.camerooni said:

It registers you as interested in pre-ordering but you aren't locked in or anything. When the game is released it will ask if you want to buy it, if you don't nothing happens. If you do, it asks you to enter your payment details, etc.Fredescu said:
Thanks for the offer - at present we're looking at about 10 people that have expressed interest, and we all know what our ugly selves look like so there's no need for any special notification.Yug said:
Starting to think Sunday arvo wasn't too bad an idea after all, at least for my schedule. I've heard good things about the Sunday Sessions, and now that Brisbane isn't "oh my god my skin is melting!" hot anymore, it should be a nice relaxed one.

So, AusGAF, Operation Backlog is rolling along nicely though is likely to have hit its first snag.
Finished Dead Space yesterday. The entire last chapter
was as dull as hell:
. The whole game never felt like it built into any sort of thrilling climax. More like relief that it was finished so didn't have to suddenly play loud music at me. Starting around the end of Chapter 9/start of Chapter 10, the story did start to pick up and get interesting but I felt it never really capitalised on it.
I was previously interested in Dead Space 2, but now after finishing the first I think I'm going to wait until I see it for $15 when I'm short of other things to play, or not bother at all.
But now Operation Backlog has hit a snag. I don't know what to play next, and of most of the remaining (unopened) ones I'm frankly not that interested in playing. Which brings us to the real issue with the backlog: If a game is sitting there unfinished, most of the time is it because you weren't that enamoured with the game in the first place, and don't care to see it all the way through to the end?

Yeah, finishing off three in a week is the same feeling you get when you've eaten a load of takeaway for a whole week.Bernbaum said:
I have Dragon Age: Awakenings in there, and I'm thinking that's going to be the next one so I can sink my teeth into it a bit.

Streetpasses: 0
Maybe my luck will change when I get coffee!
You need to creepily hang around major train stations. That's how you do major Street Pass damage.
Yeah, on the day after release I got no hits in eight hours of university but then I got a hit on the train home. I always kinda thought it would be the other way around.
My copy of Radiant Historia supposedly shipped, but in the tracking details it says "no events found". Does anyone know what this means?

Hits while walking through Randwick and UNSW to my office on Friday and Monday: 0.
Dang it all.
At least my second order of games arrived from Amazon today. Now I get to woo my friends closer to buying their own 3DSes with kittens and puppies

.That usually means that the label has been printed and the package is waiting to be picked up from the distributor you bought from.Aon said:
Utas uses certificates to authenticate devices, and it logs each device's MAC before it can initially connect, which uses a web browser. And ninty decided it'd be a good idea not to have one on launch.Aon said:Yeah, I couldn't manage to get the 3DS hooked up even after playing around with the proxy settings for a while
There goes some of my SF4 dreams.

. Ugh. I hate it when games do this.

I posted abut this exact problem several (well, 22) pages ago. There's an app called Connectify that will let you use your PC's wireless card as a go-between for the 3DS and tricky wireless networks. I was adding friends from my 3DS at USNW on Friday, and the WiFi here requires WPA2-Enterprise, which is unsupported by the 3DS.Kritz said:
