  Before sensitive Ozbargainers start neg-ing the deal, I have nothing against Play-Asia. I buy from them now and then. Its just that their US editions are only 10 or 15 bucks cheaper but their Asian editions are really cheap but they have chinese/korean/japanese characters. That's okay if you wanna keep the game. But if you trade it or sell it, it's hard.

  I tried to trade a Play-Asia game to JbHiFi and they asked me to pay them instead. No no, but seriously.. it's impossible to trade them and if you're truthful, they won't get a good price on eBay either.

  You can't really compare game.co.uk to local australian sites/retailers you need to compare it to prices against online uk retailers which are pretty damn cheap, like Zavvi, theHut, 365games, blahdvd, etc.

  Example Forza 3:

  Comes to less than $37.

  Really the prices on game.co.uk are not great because they charge 5 pounds for delivery.

    Noted. I didn't check theHut, but Zavvi was more expensive than Game UK for the deals listed here even after you factor in delivery. But since you brought it up and conveniently compared only Forza 3…

    The Hut Deals:
    Forza 3: The Hut is 5 dollars cheaper.
    Saboteur: The Hut is 3 dollars cheaper.
    Left 4 Dead 2: The Hut is 17 dollars more expensive.
    MX vs ATV Reflex: The Hut is 13 dollars more expensive.

    And you also conveniently left out the fact that it's cheaper for one item. But if you order two or more items, theHut is more expensive in delivery. Game UK is 4.95 standard delivery even if you order multiple items. If I bought the 5 games listed here, I'd pay a total of 4.95 in delivery. theHut would charge you 11.75 pounds.

    365Games (Free Delivery)
    Forza 3 ($3 lesser) and Saboteur ($10 lesser) are cheaper however Left 4 Dead 2 was not listed and MX vs ATV was about $10 more.

    Granted Forza 3 is not comparatively cheaper, the other games are, and your point about the delivery isn't entirely accurate if you're purchasing more than 1 item since Game UK charges 4.95 for delivery whether you buy 1 or 2 or even 5 items. theHut and Zavvi charge PER item at 2.35 pounds.

  Yeah the prices aren't that great. If you are buying from the uk.. most of those games can be had for cheaper, because of shipping prices. hotmustardsauce mentioned some of the sites.

    Besides Forza 3 on theHut, and Saboteur on 365games, the games listed here are cheaper. Especially MX vs ATV and Left 4 Dead 2.

  Probably next time, keep the post short and straight to the point.

  Posting something this long puts people from reading further.

    Point taken, post shortened.

      Removed most of the detail dude. Just the prices left. Also outlined hotmustardsauce's info about deals being cheaper on other UK sites.

        Well Ragflan I like the detail in your posts. Please keep it up, makes it much easier to figure out if I want the game or not.

      I guess it would be uncensored, but has anyone in Aus ordered it from GAME UK and actually received it?
      If not, did GAME UK refuse to send it, or did it get stopped at customs?
      Thanks.

        ragflan on 28/02/2010 - 22:44

        Wait, do you mean Left 4 Dead 2? Or just about any game? I ordered Wet for Xbox 360, it was rated M18 and it came through…

          @ragflan: I think grazzer is right. This should be the uncensored one since I did a quick Google search and it's bothering quite a number of Australian gamers. The solution generally was to purchase the game from US or UK.

  Come on, mods, someone is clearly going through this thread and modding Ragflan down, even though his posts are useful and accurate.
