Australian sales of silent hunter 5

sober · 08-27-2009, 08:17 PM

I remember when SH4 was released in australia i went to a lot of shops in brisbane and eventually tracked down a copy . Unfortunately the teenages will never buy it because its xbox city here . Obviously the more sales of SH5 the more chance of SH6 . What we need is a top product from the start .

Same thing here in the States. I have to go to Best Buy or Wal-Mart to find the PC games anymore. All the "video game" stores carry a wide variety of console games with maybe a single section of a single shelf devoted to PC games.

So what they need is an exceptional bug free game outa the box with good media and it will sell itself .

Ah... fond memories of when I bought SH4... A niche retailer here was still in the buisness of selling PC games, tucked away on a discreete shelf. Hidden behind the plethora of consoles games and their broad array of hardware gizmoes.

I felt as if a perv ducking through the beaded curtin to oogle the tawdry offerings. Segragated somehow from the mainstream.

Uhhhh... anyhow long live PC games !

You guys Down Under are always getting it in the arse.

Was it SH4 or UBM1.5 that you guys were just about the last to get it ?

Fair play says you guys should get it first this time.

yep Best buy would probably be your best choice.. Gamestop would probably not carry a game like sh5...

(just check best buys site when the time comes.)

The BestBuy near me has a HUGE selection of PC games.

FIREWALL · 08-27-2009, 11:45 PM

When I asked the store clerk " do you have any PC games ? "

He said " Ya we got some " 3 ailes down on the left.

I walked down and turned left and about passed out.

WOW I was in heaven.
