Default Computer/console games?

Anyone know of somewhere in Perth that sells them at a reasonable price?

I'm after the new Batman game and Electronics Boutique are selling it for a staggering $120. In comparison Amazon UK are selling it for 35 quid, but you can't get games shipped to Oz.

Still have trouble getting over how much more expensive books, games and to a slightly lesser degree CDs are over here.

Should be somewhere like JB which will have them cheaper, maybe $89. Otherwise Amazon US does ship games I believe.

Yeah checked JB - they're doing it for $99. Amazon US would only do NTSC games though :/

Don't think it matters for HD games though.

I swear by these guys. I ordered a game from them on the Monday (UK based online store) and it was in my PO Box by the Friday. PLUS, it was over less than half the price it would be here, PLUS for some sh!thouse reason Aus is not releasing it until November here, while they sell it everywhere else in the world.
Highly recommended

Same deal. I bought a couple of games from them in the last month. Cheap and fast.
