I just bought Boom Blox off GAME UK for $45. :(
I couldn't find it at my Target though, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Just picked up Boom Blox as part of my christmas shopping (I got my own copy the day it came out)
I also picked up Super Mario Galaxy for $64 at Big W.
One thing that is selling well across alot of different stores are the $300 leftovers of the old 20GB 360 Pro's

Thanks for the heads-up Joseph. Tried to pick up Boom Blox (for a cheap gift!) this morning at Perth City store at about quarter to 9. The dude said they all sold out this morning, what time are people hitting the shops!? Crazy.

I think that's because most stores are sold out of the 60GB ones. I certainly had a bit of trouble getting my 360 last week, but all stores said they had the 20GB models left.

The store opened at 8am and not all stores actually got new stock for the sale. My store only had 6 copies whilst having about 20 copies of every other title that was on sale.

Thanks Joseph! 
I picked up my copy of Boom Blox from Chermside at 11am. Everything was gone from the sale section at the front (My Sims, Narnia, Boom Blox), then I found 5 copies of Boom Blox around the corner in their normal spot

Dick Smith in Canberra City had plenty of 60Gb models and sold out of the 20Gb ones
Also (I think it expires tomorrow or the next day) Dick Smith was selling Arcades for $238, not all stores still had stock, I think xmas eve was the last day, not too sure

Well I'm glad some of you managed to grab Boom Blox for $15, I doubt we'll ever see it for that price again until the Wii 2 is released (unless Dick Smith have another wacky sale).
I personally would have grabbed a copy, but I really couldn't be bothered waking up early and/or braving the mad dash come opening time. So props to those who did brave the crowds, even if you scored a copy or not, and props to Vervain's grandma for trying to grab her lazy grandson a copy.
