Randomly applied for jobs and had a phone interview today that went well even though I still have no idea what the job really is. Get to suit up on Wednesday which will be fun. No interest in my exam on Thursday, don't need to pass so I don't care. Going to be that annoying guy who spends the whole time yawning and drumming my fingers bored.
They are the Australian version of Green Day. Love the early stuff but once they moved into pop-emo territory I haven't enjoyed much of their stuff.codswallop said:

Both are incredible. You should sit down and watch all of Arrested Development right NOW. Then start complaining that it never should have been cancelled with the rest of us.Madrical said:

Three way! The 690 II Advanced will be my next case after longing for it over the last 12 months. My friend has one and it is awesome. Cheap too.Shaneus said:

The Wire and Arrested Development are the best shows in their respective genres imo. You should also watch Friday Night Lights.
I've heard really good things so I'm looking forward to it. My mate who I'm getting it from loves it, he can't get over how good it is, so I'm really looking forward to it. Just hope I'm not OVERhyped haha. My internet is going to get smashed in the next couple of days.
Since it's allowed to be discussed on GAF, has anyone downloaded the Deus Ex: HR leaked extended demo thingy?

Starfox is July in Japan, September everywhere else. Super Mario, Kid Icarus and Mario Kart are 2011 sometime after that.
So you got Ocarina of Time at the end of the month, Mercs 3D (which to me feels cheap and rushed, but looks great, I have it) the week later then nothing.
It's all been horribly planned.
Sup Ausgaf, its been about a week. Just been enjoying the fruits of all things E3.

Potential GOTY and as a huge fan of the original game I am very happy with the follow up. Things bode well for Thi4f as long as it is handled the same way.Madrical said:

Hey SydGAF, I straddled your wacky bridge on Saturday. Pretty good fun, too.
Yeah, I got mine back a few weeks ago as well... Didn't I mention that? Oh dear.Jintor said:

OzGameshop users: I just checked my recent credit card statement and noticed my last purchase the other week included a currency conversion fee. They're suppose to charge in AUD. Any of you other guys getting the same thing?
Edit: Wait, it's an "overseas transaction fee". I thought they had an Australian business where they received the money, but I suppose not. What a gyp.

Either redeem code via the account panel on the PS3, redeem the code through playstation.com, or I think there is also a code redemption option on the online menu in MK itself. You need to do this on an account that matches the region you bought the game in. If you bought from the UK, your Aussie account should be fine (you might need a UK one though). If you bought from the US, just create a US account if you don't have one already and download it on that account. You'll be able to play on your Aus account after doing that.Mar said:

How much was the fee?

About 3%, or $2.00. I paid with Visa.DualShadow said:
Obviously not a big deal, but since I always just assumed the amount I saw on the screen was what I was paying I never even bothered to look into it. Just something to take into consideration if you're comparing prices, I guess. Never got the overseas transaction fee in addition to the currency conversion fee that I've noticed when purchasing from other places.
Just another way for the financial companies to screw us over.
Some banks have started charging overseas fees if the company is not registered for business in Australia, regardless of the currency type used in the exchange. It first came to my attention when ANZ charged me a fee for buying Aussie Wii points on the Wii. ANZ only started doing that last year sometime, I think.codswallop said:
Paypal's fee is factored in as a reduction to the exchange rate. You typically pay about the same amount either way.Shaneus said:

And what a bloody crock it is. Oh well, something to be aware of.Clipper said:
If these guys were running the Internet we'd be paying our ISP extra for each country we want to access.
OzGameShop (that capitalisation is killing me) was charging just under $50, but you'd have to wait a week or two to receive it. I don't think I can wait that long, TBH.
Cheapest for me would be Dungeon Crawl (according to here) but that's because I wouldn't have to pay shipping. It's still $20 more than OGS but I'd get it straight away.

if you have a card that doesn't explicitly charge a fee (ie they alter the exchange rate)
you can work out what you've been charged using this handy app

Yeah, I think I might start using PayPal for payments more now.
In the big scheme of things, a dollar or two here isn't a big deal, but IMO it's more about the point that the banks shouldn't be rewarded with my money just because they feel like introducing fees for no good reason.
