Brütal Legend is out. Although not scheduled for release until Thursday, we’ve heard that EB has put Tim Schafer’s heavy metal fantasy on sale this morning.
If you’ve seen Brütal Legend on sale today, let us know in the comments below.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

The only downer is that they are charging an extra $20 for it early. I might just wait until other outlets have it for $89.
But those too impatient to wait – confirmed that EB Games in Melbourne Central (in Melb – duh!) have stock and are selling it.

EB Toowong (QLD) has it for $109.95.
The K-Mart in the same shopping centre don’t have it as yet (or aren’t willing to admit it, considering they were one of the stores who got slapped hard for selling Fable 2 early).

Sorry for the double post, but a quick check of the EB Games Australia website claims that Brutal Legend is ‘Out Now!’

Got mine this morning for $89 at EB Karingal, Frankston.
Report PermalinkThey priced matched JB and didnt even want to see proof.

It’s out because it isn’t street dated. Plus they are better off having it out 2 days early rather than compete with Uncharted 2, Wii fit Plus and Mario and Sonic at the olympic games

Just tell EB to pricematch. If they kick up a stink shake your head at them and walk out.
I got a copy just then from EB, price matched JB for $89. =)

Called both the JBs in Melbourne and they didn’t have it in stock yet. They said that there was an embargo (there isn’t, but hey) although they would sell it if another shop had broken street date.
So – if you’re in Melbourne, JB will have it on sale as soon as they get it in stock. Don’t know if you need to pre-order to get the Brutal Legend t-shirt, but no reason not to – I’d go a Tim Schafer branded T over an in-game guitar any day.

Get Modern Warfare 2 to tide you over and then wait for the rest to drop in price. Its gonna happen. You know it.

Although, if you have something burning a hole in your pocket, pick up BL to play till MW2 comes out, then swap it out and wait for the rest (while you spend infinite hours trying to get to the highest Prestige -_-)

Does not appear that perth has any stock yet.
JB HIFI or Joondalup EB games both did not have stick. As far as EB games where aware it was still 15th release.
JBHIFI said they hoped to have it in tomorrow and would sell it right away.
