Local DSE are terrible for deals since the fired the games guy with the big shakeup last year, Skylanders stuff has been $20 in the tub which was meant to be $2 or $5 for multi packs.
Has been pay what you want for a while now.

AusGAF Steam chat is where all the DOTA addicts hang out and do whatever it is that DOTA addicts do. Play DOTA probably.

The boy will do what he is told.
Serious question: Skylanders as a game... what is it? Is it something I could get a kick out of if I find it cheap?

Very very very basic kids God of War. Very very basic.
If you enjoy an empty wallet and collecting figurines it is pretty cool. Better than anyone expects.

Watched all the new Arrested in one day. Really enjoyed it. Maybe not up to its glorious past, but still better than almost every other comedy on TV now.
I should probably get around to watching an episode of the show since I never got around to it.
Does it take a few episodes to get into the show?

Its the type of show with a lot of ongoing jokes. I remember watching the first episode and thinking it was just ok, but I watch it now and its gold. But I was hooked after the first few.

Also Shaneus, I hate you so I have kept forgetting to tell you about Ocean City Racing which you may be interested in. Been meaning to tell you about it for like a month now :/
Why hate me? You're not Jase. And I told you about the Skylanders yesterday! Did that mean nothing to you?!?
Also, Jesper Kyd did the music for the trailer of it, which is cool. He scored Sub Terrania, all bar the recent Hitman and Assassin's Creed games, too. And Darksiders 2?

Look, it is nice and everything but I have tabs. And the tabs rule must be upheld. No information from tabs after the proceeding tabs can be distributed until the former tabs are dealt with.
I'm way too slight drunk to detail this right now :/
Just enjoy the OCR!
I wonder if Harvey Norman are right about the PS4 being available in 2013.

And it says..

Oh okay, sweet. Really hope it's out here in 2013. Reckon the price will be a little more, or the same as the PS3 launch price for Aussies?

Cheaper. Would expect $500 AUD. Sony are desperate to avoid the issues of the PS3 launch.
Hoping for $400.
Has to be less than the PS3 launch price. Current US PS3 price is not that far off the Aussie price I think, the dollar is still pretty damn strong, and that launch price damn near killed them.

I reckon $650-700, but maybe I'm just a pessmist.

USD has gone back up so I can see it being done now, justified by the difference in currency
EDIT: 700 would be painful for them. Almost as bad as $999.

It would still be 30% less than the PS3. Painful, but less so.

Anything more than USD$500 would mean a huge hit to sales.
Stock was okay I think, they made it sound like it was low (like the infamous "I will give anyone who finds a PS3 on the shelves $1000") but it was just because it sold like shit and Sony was losing tons of money per console.
They have been manufacturing for a while now, I don't see why they would have stock issues in this day and age with such regular/mediocre components.

Always a good idea if you are feeling worn down.
I am back at work after 2 days off last week sick. Hard to get motivated.
One thing to do when sick is have nice food, makes you feel good... so here you go AusGAF, a food post!
Saturday night: Lamb backstrap, red wine sauce, roasted veg/asparagus
Sunday lunch: Burgers at a local burger place. Really nice.
Sunday dinner: Broccoli, Cauliflower and Leak soup.

Someone needs to nail down these predictions so we can see how we all did when the actual price is released.
I'm going for A$699 for PS3 and A$649 for Xbox One
The cost of the more expensive ram in the PS3 vs the cost of the Kinect mean it could be a reversed situation but I feel that's what we'll get.
When they price the thing for here, they won't take the current exchange rate into account, they'll hedge based on what they think the exchange rate will be. If they think it'll stick around 85c for a while, they'll price based on that, then add australia tax.
A $700 PS4 would still be historically cheaper than any other PS launched in Australia. And since the last two xboxes were both $650 at launch, a $650 X1 wouldn't look two skewed.
One thing is certain, If sony matches the DRM/USed thing, MS can't afford to be the more expensive console.

PS4-$600
Xbone-$500
Xbone-$500
It really is the best cut, just so juicy, tender and flavoursome.
Whoa, seriously? The PS1 and PS2 were that much here?
$900 or more if I remember correctly.
Whoever says PC gaming is more expensive obviously isn't Australian.
Fuuuuuuuck that. I was here when the PS3 was still $900 or whatever, but I had no idea they had pushed the PS1/2 for the same ridiculous prices. I bought a PS2 a few weeks after it launched and I remember US$300 feeling like a huge investment.
Mental health is still health. Take that day and don't feel guilty.
That all looks fucking amazing. Worst thing about being single (well, not the worst worst, but I notice it a lot) is not having anyone to cook for or with. Feels bad, man
Indeed.
