Is that a error?

No, that's correct. There have been several reports from forum members that they are $79 each. Australia's CE had content dropped from it, so JB knocked back the price.

^Yeah, I was going to wait for that one, but for $80 it's worth a shot. I need time for Fallout 3 though... so it depends on when I go shopping next.

Today is the day I start going bankrupt -
Far Cry 2 and Fable are on the list today.
Fallout 3 next week.
Gears, LBP and Resistance 2 on the 7th
COD 5 on 12th
Quantum of Solace on 17th
NFS Undercover when it comes out
I have saved Saints Row 2 and Midnight Club LA for next year March - April when the Game Drought usually happens.
I already have Dead SPace from overseas
I am set for gaming heaven

I pre-ordered and paid for Standard and they handed over a CE at gametraders. Seems most have the same idea.

I pre-order Dead Space with EB for the artbook and DVD and got neither. EB are a shame, I have the magazine and banner from theie webpage and am considering going to the ACCC about it. Anyone else have this problem. I would have purchased it from JB HiFi if they didn't offer this deal so I feel well screwed over.

DSE have further reduced prices on games... some of the prices are even now standard not just a sale price. For example, Bournout Paradise on PS3 is now always 30 and Skate has been reduced to 20 dollars flat

I'm confused...is Fallout 3 come out on the 30th or 31st? The official website (and many others) say the 30th. I can't wait another day

Europe/Australia got ripped off for Resistance 2. The US get it on November 4th, we get it on like the 28th or something. Not the 7th

Fallout 3 should be out on 31/10 - however I got mine on pre order from Play asia - it will leave on the 28th from Hong Kong on Speed courier - so I should get it by the 31st -
@ Mipac - - that is SAD - I was planning on comparing Gears to Resistance and alternating between them while playing !!! Why does PAL always get ripped like this -
Maybe it is time to move to the states... (maybe after the economic crisis)

Yep, I know. I couldn't find any online copies yesterday though.
Okay, I'll be updating the list in a short period with Wow - Sight and Sound, GAME, GO-LO, Toys 'R' Us and Dick Smith bargains.
...
Okay, it may take a little longer than I first thought...
I thank everyone in advance for their patience.

ecogamer.com are saying that GAME are selling de Blob for $50, but there's nothing on their website. I'd buy it for that price.

If anyone's interested, I reformatted the above as a spreadsheet, so you can sort by platform, game and price, for example. I found it much easier to look for the prices of the specific game I wanted, or any cheap games on a given platform.
You can see (and play) with the spreadsheet here.

Was on the home page, but it seems to produce a random image, so maybe it didn't appear for you.

UPDATE: Regarding the Dead Space DVD pre-order and art book comment I made. EBs regional state manager has kindly offered a copy of both to me for collection today. I am happy to receive what I believed I would get when I first pre-ordered the game from their store. I will in future thoroughly check what exactly the offer of pre-order is from now on and I have my fingers crossed my pre-order for the Fallout 3 collectors edition will be as specified. All in all the staff from EBs head office were very helpful and I would like to thank them for their efforts. I love Dead Space too and look forward to watching the movie later on as well.
