SH5 down under?

Fritz Eger · 03-02-10, 07:06 AM

In Sydney for a year. What's the earliest way to get my hands on this? It seems to cost almost 90 bucks in the shops and isn't out until Thursday. Any download sites where I can obtain it earlier / cheaper ? Many thanks

Unless it has changed recently, sites like Steam and D2D won't sell most new release games, the big titles anyway, to australians because they only charge the US price of $50, not the $90 they charge us.

They changed it for Crysis and originally the Orange box (of all thigns) not sure if it is still in place.

www.gameswarehouse.com.au will have it. They are based in Sydney and deliver anywhere via Aussie Post/courier. They are slightly cheaper.

EB Games usually will have new releases, if you want to go to a store.

I've not bothered to check EB as I'm not buying it, but it is on GW's site.

Bottom line is we get fleeced terribly in Australia on prices.

Cheers
