Until Thursday, anyway, for that’s when the new Big W catalogue kicks in.
Halo 3: ODST was released last night. It retails for $99.95, but you can get it for a bit cheaper than that right now. Or, if you wait until Thursday, you can get it for much cheaper at Big W.
$68, to be exact.
Or you can get it for free when you buy the Elite console bundle for $398. And get Call of Duty: World at War throw in too.
Big W Catalogue Until September 30th [Ecogamer]

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 2:43 PMI picked mine up this morning as I had pre-ordered at EB Games to get the Sgt Johnson unlock code. I took in the JB HiFi catalogue and got $20 bucks off as they price match so $79 wasn’t too bad.
For anyone who has yet to pick up their pre-order, take in the BigW or JB Hi Fi catalogue to EB Games to save some dough and get the unlock code as well (only for pre-orders).

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 9:02 PMThat is quite interesting! Which EB Games are you talking about – perhaps I will preorder there from now on?
I have four EB games within 4km of me and not a single one will match JB because JB do not have the exclusive code (citing the product must be exact).
…and none will match BigW either because the catalogue does not start until Thursday (and still not an exact match).

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 2:55 PMOne or two other game retailers will beat that BigW price, if you ask nicely.
But I’d wait until it is $40, which is a more appropriate price for what is essentially expanded DLC. See the arstechnica review for futher detail.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 2:57 PMAlso remember ladies and gents… that EB will give you $87 for Halo 3 ODST when you trade it in before the 28th Sept…
So there is PROFIT! to be had!

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 5:03 PMI got mine from Game Traders. $77 bucks and came with a poster and a Halo 3 themed blazer. The nerd inside me couldn’t help but proudly wear it home.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 5:23 PMThe nerd in me is jealous! At which Game Traders did you make said purchase, and was it a deal limited by location or time?

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 6:16 PMHighpoint Victoria. T’was a pre-order special. They had hoodies or blazers. They ran out of hoodies though and I think it was first come first serve coz one of them called me up to say come early to get my size.

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 6:25 PMI have been wanting to upgrade to an elite for a while now so this may be a perfect time to do it.
What do you guys think?

Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 9:03 PMEB was crap… they wouldn’t price match $79 and give me Sgt Johnson! AND I PRE-ORDERED. So i went to Game and traded in MK vs DC (which i bought for $45) And got ODST for $29
