Here's another website highly recommended for all of you:

ecogamer.com.au

Its a website that displays many local store advertisements which mostly consist of discounts.

Another great site showing current gaming bargains in Australia for the usual suspects (EB, JB, Big W, etc): http://palgn.com.au/

I was just wondering, with new games like COD WAW and Resistance 2 out, do people still play COD4? I've noticed some people asking about COD4 prices being still quite high. My best bet is just get the latest shooters, its gonna get the bigger fanbase eventually unless COD4 is really that good. Someone enlighten me?

Well, if some of the responses here are anything to go by, there is still a large fanbase for COD4.

Jimmy, I had COD4 for a year and loved it. Most played game of 2008 for me, but 90% of that was online multiplayer. So keep that in mind if that is not your type of thing. I got COD WAW when it came out and love it just the same. I've stopped playing COD4 now, but I've still kept it because it is still brilliant.

I look at them as being both brilliant shooters (the best on 360/PS3), but COD4 has a modern day setting and weapons and COD WAW has a WW2 setting and weapons. So they are different enough to make me feel like I have a choice about which I would want to play. Also, COD WAW has upped the brutality level. I would not let a kid watch you playing this game. In your face knife attacks, dismemberments and even moral decisions about killing unarmed enemies. They have really tried to take to the brutal reality of war. Scary at times.

The fans of COD4 are slowly moving to COD WAW and I believe this game will have a longer life span. It uses the same engine and is brilliant in multiplayer online. Also, my friend loves hearing Keither Sutherland (Jack Bauer from 24) shouting orders at him!! Haha! BTW, I played COD WAW for almost four hours online last night. It really is good fun.

If you are not sure, think about what you would rather play with, modern weapons or WW2 weapons. That's the bottom line. You will love both, but I also think COD WAW will out live COD4 online eventually.

I fully agree that both games are top notch. Now I see why COD4 is still expensive, let's hope its getting a price decrease this year otherwise I'd just get COD WAW instead. Thanks for the info mate

Looks like with the UK GBP to AUD conversion rate right now, there are some good bargains to be had from some UK retailers. Post your best found deals on here for all to share!

Can anyone recommend any good UK price compare sites such as:

Pricerunner UK

[sacka37]

In BigW today and they had FIFA 09 and Tiger Woods 09 for $58 that sounds allright to me.

[piccard21]

Fallout 3 (xbox360) is around $62 @ cdwow (patch and dlc just released)

If someone wants to become 'most awesome forum member 09' could they check there local kmart (nearest to me is 40 mins drive) to see if the ps3 remote is the official sony remote. if anyone is willing to post me a remote I could pay in advance via paypal, or better yet know of an online store where i can get the official ps3 remote for around the same price ($19.95).

Has anyone ever tried getting play.com to deliver to Australia, they has some damn good prices at the moment, seem to post to Europe only though!

Skate $40 PS3 Brisbane City Big W, several copies.

[Neon Kitten]

Big W has Beijing Olympics 2008 for PS3 and Xbox360 for $28.94!!!!!

How stupidly expensive is that for what could possibly be one of the worst games of the last few years?

You don't own a Wii or a DS? Beijing Olympics makes have of their libraries look like Grand Theft Auto 4

Xbox 360 60gig pro + halo wars + pro evo 2008 + assassins creed : $399 (make sure the serial # sticker states "12.1A" power supply, ie the jasper revision).

You may be able to get the previous $399 bundle with halo wars also (BIA - hells highway + RS - Vegas 2)

I prefer this bundle over the new bundle (PES 2008 + Assassins Creed) - Where do I get this bundle for $399? (And this, I assume, is also supplied with jasper xbox, right?)

Oops, the store is JB Hi-Fi.

Jaspers will have "12.1A" as the power configuration written to the left of the serial number, the power plug that connects to the back of the 360 will be plastic coated instead of the previous models metal coating. The power brick will also have ventilation slots across the top where as the older brick only had ventilation at the ends.


The older bundle was still advertised in the store I went to so providing your local jb has stock you should be cool. It will be up to you to make sure you get a jasper. Ask to look in the box, my local store manager had no issues with this, if your lucky you can move the 360 around in the box slightly (without opening the box) so the serial number is more visible through the "peep holes".

Set up my jasper yesterday big improvement over my 06 model that never gave me any issues so I feel a little guilty retiring it, still it will find a new home soon enough.
