Yeah, JB's Father & Son Edition is just the regular Day One game in a steelbook case, no other extras.

Yep JB is day one only price then back up to $79, cheapest is at Base.com. My bargain guide has all the prices.
I loved the games in the Playstation era, ie: 7, 8 + 9 but I haven't played one since. Not sure what to expect...

Probably because they enjoyed playing one at some point.

Feeling the slight urge to pick up FFXV but I can't say I particularly care for the franchise anymore. Almost like a FIFA that comes out every half dozen years

Oh I think I might just confine myself to the spoiler thread on OT, but even that is full of the four seasons of
joy, regret, shade and projection

That'd be awesome. I have a $30 EB gift card, from my previous (and hopefully last) trade in.
I'm broke as shit, so having to fork out that extra 30 at JB would suck...but I'll get it either way.
My last Final Fantasy was X and I honestly cant tell you why I want to grab this one. I dont think its because this one is going to be awesome.
I think its more that I am in the mood for a AAA JRPG.
If Persona 5 had come out this year my itch may have been scratched but as it is I'll be waiting until April for that now.
How does price matching work exactly? I've never done it before because I've just bought games where they are the cheapest.
Do you just go in and say "company X has this for Y price match it" or do you need to advertisement or something?

Just tell them the price and they may either look it up online or call the store direct to make sure they have stock.
Damn it! I would have grabbed this today.
Ah well will pick up on my lunch break tomorrow.

EB games Southland wouldnt price match JB for the base copy of FFXV, due to their exclusive dlc. Trying to extort another $30 out of people, due to different wording on their base editions. What a cunt company.
Edit: Written angrily from my car. Yeah, looks like they're using the discrepancy of "Kings Tale Edition Vs. JB's Day One Edition" despite the fact that the only difference is their shitty exclusive DLC. Once I've gotten rid of my gift card, I'll never buy from EB again, ever.

Always the case when EB has their own edition. Oddly they'll still give you their pre order bonus if you price match on release day
EB are fucking shite.
On another note, my copy of FFXV which shipped from JB Hifi yesterday morning was just delivered. Which is super-fast considering I'm in regional NSW(near Byron Bay), and it was only $3.50 for shipping.
Now to spend 10 hours downloading the day one patch on PSN with my currently broken internet connection that's running at half the normal speed, yay Telstra.

JB send most of their regular size games (Not bulky limited editions) by Toll Priority if you order by a certain cut off date. Pretty much guarantees release day delivery.
Only retailer I will preorder online with shipping. EB I won't do unless I can pick up in store since they almost never make release day delivery in my experience.

That house...that connection...no sale mate.
Yeah I only ordered on Sunday, and I assumed for that price they would send it regular Aus Post so I wouldn't get it until Thursday/Friday at the earliest. Great service.
<1.5km or no deal.
In Sydney?

I bought the steelbook from JB and I'll look for a second hand Amano steelbook next year. I bought my PS4 to work today so I could update it all day at work ready for home time.

Isn't that every game?
Blue Mountains.
I can't turn a house down because of dud internet. Too hard to get into the market to worry about that. It'll just be a big annoyance.
I've got two 20GB/month sim cards through work, so let's hope there's 4G coverage!
Titanfall 2 didn't, and neither did Dragon Quest Builders!
Those are the only two I can think of that didn't have large patches on day one in recent memory though.
Unlucky, sad they don't have a company wide policy on these things. Picked mine up at lunchtime Price matched.

Is the house stupidly cheap or something?

Got a JB print out for some pre order content for FFXV and it says to go to some website that doesn't work. Any idea what it is?
I got that printout with my receipt and just typed it directly into the PSN redeem code feature and it worked (PS4 version).
Compared to the rest of Australia? Nah. For Sydney? Yeah.
There's very little available these days for <$550k. ANd this is already 70km out of the city.
It's the "Mage Mashers" DLC which is a weapon and a camera kit. It says on their website it only comes with the Steelbook Special Edition, but I got the Day One edition and still got the email with the code

Let me rephrase, stupidly cheap for the area? As where I am the internet can either be cable, adsl 1/2 or nbn and that's less then a 10 minute drive between all options. But I assume you've already looked in surrounding suburbs.
Sydney prices are absurd.

I was pretty surprised Titanfall was only a few hundred meg I think, and I'm a Pro user.
Doom on the other hand downloaded a 20 gig update. 20 fucking gigs!

Yeah JB are great in terms of postage. Always impressed.

Most don't these days, back at start of gen it was horrible.
Watch Dogs 2 was only 200MB or so.
Dishonored 2 was horrid, 9GB! Glad that was an outlier for me :/
Although on PS4 you can just let it download while you play the game, none of this forcing a patch shit.

I noticed that the first GOTY list came out, and it made me realise that my favourite game this year was actually DLC (The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine), and by a considerable margin too. Never thought I'd utter those words in a million years.

Still november, it's too early for me to say Inside, but it's Inside.
Our office is closing for a week and half, which means we come back and do Thursday Friday, which seems super dumb.
I took those days off to get the full fortnight.
