Liar, you know you will.

15% is better than nothing, here that 15% on a 49.99 is 7.50 and almost covers next day shipping, or free shipping plus extra taken off. I haven't bought a game from a brick and mortor store for well over a year, maybe two years, so I love %'s off and/or free shipping. You could say I live for it. I may get a game I am only casually interested in if I can get it for cheaper or if I can get it with free shipping.

I was looking at Dick Smith Electronics website, and saw that Metroid Prime is selling for $19.93!

Did anyone know about this? I know it has been added to the Official Player's Choice List, but none of the other Player's Choice games are selling for that low. Check for yourself

YIKES! 20 bucks O____O

I'm getting it!

Maybe

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #28 on:** March 14, 2004, 09:58:08 PM »

No, don't buy it. You will never become uncle rich!

Metroid Prime should of launched at $20.

pot shot feel the burn!!!ONE

Mario · « **Reply #30 on:** March 15, 2004, 01:15:11 PM »

I thought it launched for free? Oh wait

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #31 on:** March 15, 2004, 10:38:52 PM »

Does anyone know if the Aussie Dick Smith site will ship to NZ? Our site sells PS1 and f*cking GBC games, but not GC... I could save a cool 65AUD on that Mario Sunshine.

Through Dick Smith Electronics Direct Sales you can buy anything from the entire range in our regular stores. Set up for the specific purpose of handling mail order customers throughout Australia and overseas, Direct Sales has a national distribution centre in Sydney.

Whether you live in the city or a remote area, we are only as far away as the nearest phone, fax or mailbox. Plus, both our fax number and Internet Online Store are available 24 hours a day.

Certainly looks like it...

...but it looks like their links to the GC games are dead...

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #33 on:** March 16, 2004, 09:52:39 AM »

well of course they will be dead, now the question is how long will it stay that way before they get up off the collected asses and make them live links?

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #34 on:** March 17, 2004, 08:45:57 PM »

nitsujdark - now you know why Australia has been viewed as a lazy country!

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #35 on:** March 21, 2004, 01:30:45 PM »

DVDCrave is neato.

Evolution Worlds, $34.95
Top Gun, $34.95
TimeSplitters 2, $39.95
Rogue Squadran 3: Rebel Strike, $49.95

Also, it might just be the Myer near me, but they had Final Fight One and King of Fighters Neo Blood 2 for $29.95 each on GBA. They weren't in the bargain bin, however. Ooooh, the bargain bin. When will they learn nobody wants to buy Home Alone 3 on VHS at a 'crazy' $10? *Shakes head*

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #36 on:** March 21, 2004, 11:42:02 PM »

DVD Crave has Ikaruga PAL.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #37 on:** March 22, 2004, 01:03:33 PM »

Rebel Strike only 50 bucks

Aussie Ben PGC · « **Reply #38 on:** March 23, 2004, 02:40:51 AM »

DVD Crave also has Kirby Air Ride at $60 instead of the ludicrous $100 -- cheaper than a GBA game, too. Forty dollar saving, can't go wrong. Unless you don't like the game. It's had very mixed reviews.

DrZoidberg · « **Reply #39 on:** March 23, 2004, 04:18:02 AM »

Famitsu gave it 30something out of 40 i think, rated it better than F-Zero GX, but Joe Gas Sation only gave it 3 road side pies out of 10, personally I'll buy it at some stage cheap, i'm not really clamouring for it right now.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #40 on:** March 23, 2004, 06:14:48 AM »

To trust Famitsu or Joe Gas Station...Hmmmmm...

-______-

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #41 on:** March 23, 2004, 03:11:39 PM »

I'd go with Joe Gas Station since Famitsu rated it better than F-Zero GX....

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #42 on:** March 23, 2004, 04:26:37 PM »

That's because GX is so flipping hard on Master... >=(

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #43 on:** March 23, 2004, 04:30:37 PM »

But that is no excuse to rate it lower than Kirby Air Ride just b/c it's so hard.

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #44 on:** March 23, 2004, 05:12:59 PM »

F-Zero is at least really fun on the easier difficulties.

I really wouldn't recommend Rebel Strike. I bought it on a whim, and damn, was a stupid thing to do.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #45 on:** March 23, 2004, 10:13:30 PM »

I rented Rebel Strike, and enjoyed it more than Rogue Leader (not a great game though). I loved the Endor speeder bike level, and can play it all day long! ^_^ I would like to pick it up real cheap (or second-hand) just for that.

But I will have to wait awhile for it to come down to my price.........I hope so.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #46 on:** March 23, 2004, 11:56:46 PM »

I'll buy Rebel Strike when it goes down further in price

Like how I'm buying more N64 games now than GC games haha.

Dude, retro never goes out of style. *hugs Atari Anthology while rocking out to Queen*

If you guys don't hear from me this weekend, its means I got really really really wasted and ended up in Paraguay.

TRUE STORY DRUGS ARE BAD ... TO RESIST! hrhrhrhr THIS IS NOT A 5 YEAR PGC ADVERTISEMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T FLASH AND DID A REALLY CHEAP JOB. NO SWAG FOR ME! SEND MONEY! ONLY A DOLLAR A POST!

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #48 on:** March 29, 2004, 12:03:14 AM »

There's a few good deals at DVDCrave that aren't displayed on the main pages. Namely here and especially here. I'm pretty sure those are rarely available in stores, though it's hard to tell here. My apoligies if this is just spam.

Mario also pointed out that FF: CC and link cables are hard to come by. DVDCrave has a few here and here. Hope it helps.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #49 on:** March 29, 2004, 08:06:15 PM »
