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.

Now, now. There is no need for that at all, is there?

phil_carter · Apr 15, 2007, 10:05 PM // 22:05

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.

Onarik Amrak · Apr 16, 2007, 12:59 PM // 12:59

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.

Where do you get these? I also live in Australia.

I know that ANZ has Visa Giftcards, I think St George does as well.

Aussie Boy · Apr 17, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

There are a few banks ect that have the Visa debit cards and Prepaid MasterCards for us Aussies

StGeorge
citibank
Anz

By the way Harvey Norman (Perth) had NF for $49:00AU about a month or 2 ago in a sale not sure if they still have it but
thats where I got my 2nd copy from.

jas002 · Apr 17, 2007, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Try getting it from sendit.com, they have it for £14.89. Plus they have the option of other ways to pay.

Dubby · Apr 17, 2007, 06:03 PM // 18:03

I got mine offa ebay. 30 USD equivilant each.

Lydz · Apr 17, 2007, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Shame

I just bought Nightfall Collector's for R299 (South African currency), because it's so flippin cheap! That's like 32Euro...is that alot in comparison to most people?

prism2525 · Apr 17, 2007, 07:47 PM // 19:47

well the CE for 32 euros isn't half bad. I had to fork out more for mine. But hey, I did pre-order it.

Lydz · Apr 17, 2007, 08:12 PM // 20:12

roflmao :P I'm trying to get my parents to fork out for Evanescence concert tickets and another R350 for the Factions CE ^^

VanDamselx · Apr 18, 2007, 02:03 AM // 02:03

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

bmw4496 · Apr 19, 2007, 01:15 AM // 01:15

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 ...

lennymon · Apr 19, 2007, 01:21 AM // 01:21

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?"
