Generally they only pricematch if the competitors are offering the exact same bonuses, but will also depend on the person who served you. Otherwise they wont give you the bonuses.

Thanks all for the info, yeah that's probably what I suspected, I did get the extra code for BF BC2 from EB after a pricematch with JB.
But for the SC:C (360) you do get a physical backpack which is exclusive from EB Games (and more valuable/useful), so I highly doubt...unless of course paying full-price. Turned out I actually need to buy one anyway (the bag that is). Might worth a try first.

Yes always. It's a bonus for pre-ordering, the price you pay does not effect that.
To be extra sure just wait until they bring both to the counter, then mention it.

I preorder Just Cause 2 at Game, and was suppose to be getting a free game along with my preorder upon. When i was there to price match, they said i could only get the free game if i paid full RRP which is $110. Plus i preordered Conviction with them aswell, hope that i will still get the preorder bonus pack......=s

Last I heard K-Mart were doing it for $58 but this was last year.
It's currently ~$48 at TheHut.
Use BANK2 in the shopping basket to get a £2 discount. So then it comes to ~$44.44.
Ooh, that's one game that's not in my collection yet.
*ponders ordering*
Is the UK version more uncensored than the Australian release?

All versions of Fallout 3 are essentially the same throughout all regions from memory.

They're exactly the same in all regions. When Bethesda was required to edit the game for release in Australia, they just edited every regions version of the game.

He's referring to Left 4 Dead 2, and saying it's a good thing Valve didn't take on that policy with that game because then everyone would get an arsey version of it and there'd be no importing the good stuff.

Hehe, I hear ya brother.
...
Wait, are we still talking about video games?
And just so I'm contributing to this thread... THQ have a box set with the following games for just $89:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
Company Of Heroes
Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Titan Quest
Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
Supreme Commander
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance
Frontlines; Fuel of War
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade
I guess that's pretty good value... that's the price at Dungeon Crawl in Melbourne... not sure about elsewhere! (Sorry if that's been posted before).

Speaking of Left 4 Dead 2 (hopefully this hasn't been mentioned already), it's now down to a permanent USD$29.99/£19.99.

Dead Space Extraction is only $19 at K-Mart. I'll be jumping on that.
Dark Void is also $25 at K-Mart, didn't take long for that game to drop.
Bayonetta is $49
Splinter Cell Conviction is $78
PS2 Slim Console - $88
Target has 30% off PS2 games.
They're the pick of the bargains from the junk mail.

$88 for a PS2. Man that's cheap! Almost tempted to pick up a brand new one.

Bayonetta for $49 is quite a good deal. Is this PS3 as well from K-mart?

Went to the Harvey Norman near my work. Saw Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 for $20 each. Also saw WoW Battlechest for $15, box was in terrible shape though.

Went to Chatswood this morning and picked up quite a few bargains. Not much left anymore, there were quite a few people there.
Then went to Gordon and it was all junk, as always.
