Do you have any relatives that weren't convicts and thus stayed in the UK?

If so, you could get them to order the Nightfall CE from Play.com for £17.99 and post it off to you.

that is ridiculously expensive, given how long its been out for.
I bought the collectors edition off amazon UK at christams for less than £20, which was cheaper than the normal version i think, but still charging full price now is insane.
Can't you use a debit card or ask your parents to order it for you or something? online is the cheapest way normally, and postage(if you have to pay it at all) is less than the return bus fair, well for me anyway.

The CE is over Lm50 (116.47 euros) last time I checked.
That's funny since @ play.com the CE is only 27 euros
So correct me if I'm wrong but that store makes like 80 euros profit

Nar it's ok. Cause it just means the POMs need to remember that abunch of convicts from a tropical paradise, kick there ass at Cricket and Rugby! (Will resist mentioning the war we pitched in too. :P )

Sadly yes it is true that Australia is given Units from the Euro offices, and that the exclusive sale rights are with EB.... Think its kinda counter productive, would seriously limit there numbers, but hey.

As for the price its seems pretty even for most game prices now a days.

Yes, the price does seem on par with most other releases at about AU$100.

But when you compare those prices to other countries, you realise you're getting jacked.

Well, I still bought it from play. Waiting a couple of weeks is far better than paying that silly amount of cash. Instead of the Lm50+ i got it for Lm24.49... less than half the price.

Maltese stores have always been like that. I don't care anymore cos now i got my CC and I have an account on play. I don't even look at maltese stores anymore.

Those gift cards may have a little fee to get like 50 bucks (for you to spend) + 3 dollars (for Visa to make money off them of course) for a total of 53 dollars but they are convenient. You can use them anywhere Visa is accepted. I take them on vacations with me

Yeah, thanks for the suggestions guys. I will first check out Harvey Norman

ZenRgy: I am not complaining because I can't afford a mere computer game, I am complaining because I don't want to pay more than I have to.

Does anyone know if Kmart, BigW, JB Hi-Fi sell it, and for what price? EB is indeed monopolizing ...

I've heard numerous times about Australian's getting hosed accross the boards for games, that sucks. I think I'd probably just get it from the online store if possible personally.
oh, can I use that line as a quote?

"What's that got to do with the price of Nightfall in Sydney?"
