Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 12:17 PMNice Idea thanks Dave.
Problem is that none seem to have anything substantial for PC gamers, so stuff em all.
I will just keep saving for my new HD4870 GPU thanks.

Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 1:15 PMThanks David. There looks to be quite a few bargains on offer there (Mirror’s Edge is calling me).
I’ve got a bit of a random question that might be better placed in ecogamer.com but I have been waiting for Race Driver:GRID to come down in price for a while now (PS3 version). It’s been out for 9 months yet it is still $110 at my local JB Hi-Fi (and no better at other around the Sydney CDB). I have seen games released before and after of varying success get price cuts yet not that one.
I’m afraid to bite the bullet as I know when I do, a price cut will surely follow :)
Has any body else been in a similar situation sticking around waiting for games to go down a bit and they just stay full price?

Tuesday, April 7, 2009 at 8:51 PMcheers mate, i try not to get games unless its a deal, and i reckon there’s loads of other people who do the same. plus in this economic downturn and all difficult to explain this bill in comparison to the rest

@Lucas: Thanks for the link to 365games.co.uk!!! Just ordered myself Fallout 3 for $56 incl. delivery (which is free to Australia, no idea how they manage to do that?). Had a look for it yesterday and at JB Hifi they’re selling it for $105!!!
