Anywhere in Australia selling these, and do they give codes for access? That gamestop wants to charge me half again the price of the game in courier fee's.

Some people have said EBgames are taking Australian preorders for it, and there is at least one online Aus store. Price is AU$150, and I don't know of anyone who has gotten codes from an Aussie preorder yet.

As BlackIce said. EB, GAME plus a number of others are charging AU$150 for the CE. They don't give codes. And it's actually still cheaper to order it from the US and pay the ridiculously expensive shipping fees.

I had checked EBGames website and they only had the regular version, but after calling in they said it was on their system and could take it.

The lack of beta codes is a worry though. :s

The CE in Australia in two stores I've seen thus far is $150. It's cheaper for you to order from Gamestop.

The only drawback may be getting the game on release day. Shipping from the US usually takes about 2 weeks. I'm not sure how far ahead they ship in the states, but I doubt it will arrive on launch day ( ...which is why I've hedged my bets).

Well, in my experience. Playing in the first week or two is usually a really bad idea anyway *laugh*.

Hmmm .... you know. You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!


I think I need to rethink whether I want to be there day one.

I pre-ordered from EB in Australia because the guys at my local store are always really nice, and because I didn't want to have to wait for shipping from the US. Once I heard people who ordered from Gamespot were getting their codes I asked the manager about it and although he knew the CE gave you beta codes, he had not idea how he was going to get them or distribute them to pre-order customers.
