Harvey Norman Oconner are selling all pre-orders for major games for $77, cheapest I have seen that not an import.
Only Gears of War 3 was $88 though.

limited will be 100$ at least any where in Oz. You would need to import from UK for cheaper.
I'm sure there is a perfectly good reason for this, but why pre-order?
Sometimes to lock in a good price, maybe get something included as a 'special edition', you won't miss out on getting the game if you don't pre order though.
I can only speak for Batman Arkham City, but depending on where you pre-order you get a different Batman skin when you pre-order. JB Hifi for example, you get Animated Series skin and Earth One skin and you also get Robin DLC. EB Games has the steelbook edition with 1970s Batman skin. Both are around $95 though. Harvey Norman only seem to have a special skin with the collectors edition which includes the Batman: The Dark Knight Returns skin and its $147. yikes. The $77 one doesn't mention a special skin.
Not gonna lie… I couldn't resist it.
Looks like they changed the price of Gears of war 3 to 87 now :)
Still expensive.
Very expensive.
Extremely expensive
True, IMO it doesn't deserve the price, Just IMHO !!
Bummer, I paid $55 each from ozgameshop mid July for BF3, MW3 and FIFA12… Gonna have to wait for delivery though… I woulda pre-ordered at $77 from local shop but if I knew… O well, they should have done it earlier, still happy with my pre-orders. Good find OP
That's 28.6 % saving excluding petrol and time saved. Wonder how much quicker would HN start distributing these.
I preordered mine when they had the $10 off $60 promontion going around… You could only use it once per account… so I made 3 accounts hahaha. Regular preorder price from ozgameshop will be $10 on top of those prices listed above. Only thing i'm worried about is how long it will take before ozgameshop ship the item…. I'd dare say they would have alot of preorders to fill.
Harvey Norman has a bad habit of releasing games early because they know that gaming companies won't do anything about it. If their stock comes in before it is to be released, they will more then likely release it early for pre orders.
I wonder if this is nationwide, and how would price matching at EB work on pre orders?
Might head down to my local HN and see if they will do the same price, preorder from them as well, then just sell my other copy when it comes from ozgameshop!
how did you go with your local HN?
Hi mate sorry completely forgot about it I was so busy I didn't get around to trying it.
anyone actually make it down to their local HN? I've a fair few preorders from Game for the ripoff price of $98 for a few games (i had a fair few trades) so would be nice to know if this is nationwide so i can get them to price match. Would save enough to get Arkham City :P
Good price for a local copy.
Don't spose you know if they had the BF3 Limited Edition at that price?
Looks like the Standard Edition from that pic…
