Australian Gaming Bargains - 16/08/07

PALGN Feature | Halo 3 promotion at Video Ezy.
A considerable update this week, despite the lack of Big W and Target bargains. JB Hi-Fi are offering quite a few decent discounts across all platforms, while Video Ezy are advertising a Halo 3 promotion where you get a 30-day subscription to Xbox Live Gold if you rent the game for two nights in a row – just bear in mind the game won’t be released until September 25. We’d also like to remind you that Kmart currently has two separate sales in effect, which is why there are two listings below.

I came across a site called 'gamecafe' ... price search engine for games...

Got another typo, All those H/Norman EA games like Tiger woods 07 are actually $78 a bit not $57 correct me if im wrong but the catalogue says $78, as I went looking for a $57 woods 07 only to discover it cost more than I was willing toupee ;P Ended up with PES6 Soccer for $44 great game anyway even though I dislike Soccer its fun being Australia an yelling "Go Dooka, Go Bresciano" at your TV Its very charming in its own Aussie patriarchol sense. And the way your supporters have banners saying "Celery! Celery!" whats with that?
4 years ago
Either they didn't mark the games down, or they're not supporting the catalogue.

EDIT: Is it possible that there are different catalogues for different states?

Fantastic find but noticed it only does online stores.

I just searched Bioshock for example and nothing came up for JB Hi-Fi. The site is generated by whats on the JB website and the sale for Bioshock is only visible in the catalogue.
4 years ago
It could be possible? Our catalogue here was a HN Gaming catalogue in NSW im a little confused now, thats very odd of them indeed.
Cheers for the info Joey.
