I have always wanted to buy Nightfall, but the prices here is just ridiculously high... EB Games is currently selling the normal (non CE) edition for $89.95 AUD, which converted to USD is around $75 dollars. Does anyone know where to get the game for a cheaper price?

We, fellow Aussies should really boycott EB Games until they adjust their prices

there's your problem right there amigo.

and you don't need a credit card, just a checking account and a debit card.

I'd suggest getting one and ordering a key from the official store.

For starters, Australia is considered as part of the Europe region by NCSoft. Any units bought in Australia are shipped from England, so you should convert to Great British Pounds, not American Dollars.
At $89.95 that works out to £37.80, and RRP for GW:NF in the UK is £29.99. Now you have to add on a bit for the shipping to Oz, distribution costs and so forth, so we (Yes, I'm Aussie as well) really aren't being charged too much extra at all.

If you really feel the need to rant about it, blame the Australian dollars crappy exchange rate, although it has been getting quite a bit stronger as of late.

I am kind of surprised that your local EB is still charging full price, I bought a copy for my girlfriend for $50 just before Christmas.


*Edit* - Fixed a mistake in the prices.

Yeah, are there any alternatives besides EB and online shopping? I am thinking of importing it from maybe Asia. Oh, btw EB is having a 2 for $50 sale. You can pcik up the original GW and GW Factions for $50.

You can get a Visa/Mastercard/AMEX giftcard and pre-load it with 50 bucks and buy it from the store. Those work the same way credit cards do with no attachment.

I can suggest trying Game Traders ( http://www.gametraders.com.au/ ), you might find a cheaper copy there, and if your local store doesn't have a copy they'll get it in.

I thought I'd mention that EB has a GW monopoly in Australia.

They call it Anet an "exclusive partner" or something, but we know better.

happens in New Zealand. I still buy it regardless.

Nightfall is selling less than $20 USD in Taiwan. (Including the other campaigns) It is all the matter of regional places. I always tend to find Australia's pricing is a bit wee high.

You troll,

Why would you want to pay more for something than you have to?
If other countries get it for cheaper why must Oceania pay more?

Bought mine @ play too. Gotta love the free delivery and prices.

here in malta GW costs Lm19.95... which is equivalent to 46.47 euros.
The CE is over Lm50 (116.47 euros) last time I checked.
