Or, if you thought the demo was as weak as a limp cod like me, you could save even MORE money and not buy it! 
I suppose you wouldn't be able to get the free action figure with the JB preorder anymore...

You probably can. I work at the doncaster store. We had 7 pre-orders and 30 figures arrived.
Stores got a bulk allocation so not only available for preorders.

Or you could always just go to your local EB or GAME and just get them to price match =) saves a lot of lining up.

Would EB do the GAME deal as well? It's annoying that there's no GAME nearby and its the only store to use my trade-in fodder...

Does anyone have a recommendation of which version to get?
I own a 360 and a Wii and I am undecided on which to spend my hard earned cash on.

From what people who've played it have said, how you feel about the demo pretty much reflects how you'll feel about the full game in terms of gameplay, so if you liked that then you should be right.

Personally I haven't had a chance to play the demo but from what I've heard I feel like I might hold off on buying it now, I'll probably pick it up once it gets to around the $50 mark but still I can't wait to see what PALGN has to say about the final product.

The demo suggests to me that it's a "Wait 'til it's under $50" kind of game. My urge to play it is not greater than my urge not to pay full price for it.

You probably can buy it separately.
| Quote: | | Im not entirely sure the lightsaber is free at Target |
The catalogue says:
"Buy any of these games and receive this basic lightsaber."
It then lists all versions of SW:TFU and puts the prices next to them. It then says "total value" which indicates that the lightsaber is free. They often use the term "Total Value" for their console bundles just to show how much people are saving.

EB's policy is that they match competitors within a certain distance of their store (I think within a 15 min radius). So, it's probably unlikely that they'll match it. You can always try though.
| Quote: | | GAME are actually selling it at $79 on PS3, 360 and Wii when I went in to check today. |
That's strange, their website shows the full retail price. If I get time I'll go have a look tomorrow.

^ Big W often advertise cheap prices but rarely have the goods to back it up.
It is annoying. For price matching I don't bother with Big W.
@Spanc: True. However, the point I was making doesn't relate to just this singular instance. I very often have to disappoint people because they (Big W) just don't have the advertised items in stock. Luckily, JB usually have the item on sale too, so I can offer to pricematch them instead to avoid grumpy faces.

^ To be fair, Big W are only advertising that price for Thursday, so expecting them to have stock now at that price is a bit much.

I finished it last night and really enjoyed it, though I am a Star Wars fan and liked the demo. The demo only gives the smallest hint as to the game. Once you level up your force powers the combos are pretty satistying. The demo also puts you in the worst/blandest of the environments.

Get it imported for a bucketload cheaper than any retail store, region free for the 360. It's beyond me why the australian games market is so freakin expensive.
Edit: Right sorry about that, my bad.
Anyways, as I was saying, http://www.play-asia.com has it for $68ish on region free x360, less if you have a coupon. I find this is good for broke-ass students like myself who can opt for the cheaper posting and wait for the goods to come. If only the aussie dollar was still strong.
Here's my affiliate link if you so choose: Affiliate Liiiink!
APologies again.
