I like how DVDcrave got the UK version of Colossus in, without crap boxart and $8 off the price, a week after I got the Australian copy from them. Bah.

Electronics Boutique has a Sony Playstation 2 deal going on at the moment. It's a silver slim PS2 and three Sony Platinum titles for only $399.

Nothing that interests me in that list, Viewtiful Joe 2 is way overpriced, it's like $20 on GCN at EB.

Anybody understand the $1,000 worth of vouchers with Xbox 360 purchase?

I was in JB HIfi the day before yesterday and they have the Xbox 360 kiosk set up with Project Gothem Racing 3. More to the point they were also advertising the 360 package. I didn't get the details at the time but I think it came with PDZ, remote, bags and maybe something else for about $700?? (cant remember exactly)

The DODO shops are also advertising the 360 for about $600 for dodo members.

Just thought people might want to check these out as well.

Saw some more bargains at Kmart:

Max Payne 2 (Xbox) - $17
Dead or Alive Ultimate (Xbox) - $24
Far Cry Instincts (Xbox) - <$49
Shadow Hearts Covenant (PS2) - $40

Lots of other crap going for cheap too.

EB VIP card, gives you 20% of a selected game every month, I think they said The Outfit is the first one to be discounted.

The $1000 worth of vouchers is where they give you a book of vouchers giving discounts on various publishers' games, so like 10% off Take-Two or 15% off THQ or 5% off Activision etc. (I think.)

I too buy games from here. Not only is it cheaper, you can get the Uk games without aussie ratings on it (depends which game though).

So presentation is saved

from the "evil aussie ratings corp".

Or ebay. Just find an good online store there and stick with it.

On rare occasions I do buy a game in the shops.
