I think the suggest retail price of Race Pro will be $99.95. I recommend going to Toys R Us as they usually sell their games for 20% less than the retail price. So it would be $79.95 there.

Just a note, a friend of mine is really excited about this game, and what we've discovered is that it's actually been pushed back until next week for Australia. This is based on retailer listings online, though I will be having a look this afternoon to see if it's in the shops since it was supposed to be released today. It's note worthy to mention it's already out in other PAL regions.

shiraj is right that it clearly pictures limited edition on the big w catalogue.

is there a difference between limited and collectors editions or same thing?

Wario Land: The Shake Dimension: $44.84

Is this in a catalogue or is this a "at a store" special? I can't find it in the feb 5th - feb 18th catalogue...I've been looking for this at a good price to add to my stockpile of games(at least 13+ games uncompleted -_-).
Price match at Kmart + 10% off diff + Staff discount = win.

Since when do Kmart do 10% off difference? And I doubt any store gives staff discount on top of price matches.

Heads up: 40gb PS3s are still $398 at Big W. Just picked one up.

They scan at $398 and it greatly surprises/disappoints the staff, especially when you're buying the last one in stock.

That is a Kmart Store Price match policy -
Most of the people who work there don't know it - you have to specifically ask for it ...

JB Hi-Fi: 2,000 Wii points card: $34.98

What the hell???
JB is supposed to have lower prices than normal, not higher! I'll stick to buying it at Dick Smith at the non-sale price of $30

There will be a Halo Wars bargains round-up next week (and a Killzone 2 one as well) that will cover prices and info about each version.

As for Wario Land The Shake Dimension, here's what you're looking for....

Correctomundo shiraj. You have to ask,otherwise they don't bother....It says in their catalogues though.

Phreakuency, I work at a Kmart....they ask me for my staff discount card, So i get to stack discounts icon_biggrin.gif icon_lol.gif

Btw, Thanks Joseph.

Best bargain as far as I am concerned atm is trade in 3 games get SF4 for free at JB hifi.
Can snoop the shops and get 3 20 dollar games (or less if you have the contacts) that aren't on the JB hifi exclusion list for ultimate win.

Best bet so far is splinter cell double agent/pirates of the caribbean/lost(360) out and about for 15$ each.

Hmm guess website is wrong. And there is a difference. The collectors edition comes with the halo3 mythic map pack, in-game content and a graphic novel. So if its $94 hell yeh!!!!!

don't forget the House of the Dead Overkill Bang Bang Box for $89 at JB Hifi.

though it seems most people here who want it, have already got it.
