Just came across this site and noticed they post specials here from time to time. Seemed like a pretty decent price.
Description states it ships on the 6th, so next Tuesday, which I believe is the release day of the game.

Going by what the rep has said in their previous deal, it seems they ship immediately if they have it on hand and it's "released" or if it's a pre-order, they ship it as soon as they are allowed.
The comments show that the stock is PAL-UK even though he has MA15 AUS stickers.
Now I am unsure about the origin of these halo copies…
I've always got my stuff within 3 days of purchasing. Really fast
but this is a pre-order. i wonder if it will turn out that we have to wait for like 2 weeks before he gets in the stock?
anyone check the prices on those uk websites？
Says they'll ship it on the 6th and I don't have any reason to believe otherwise with these guys so far :)
Hey Merlict,
We send as fast as we can. As this person mentioned above, these units won't arrive until the 6th. We will ship the same day :) - Cheers, Wade
Hey rep I just found this deal and it says "Missed It" on the site - any chance you can still hook us up? The deal has not even been posted on ozbargain for 24hrs =(
i ordered pokemon white 2 from them! awesome service. Got the game in 2 days. When i had questions to ask, they were friendly and answered immediately. Highly recommend them :)
Yeh sounds great, but almost same price as the videoezy deal a week ago. but never heard of them. Also it is AUS stock since its M rating unlike the UK stock of videoezy… hmmm should i cancel and get this.
Hey Assassin151,
We're a new company based in Adelaide. We've had a few posts on OzBargain previously.
We want to provide the best customer service we can, so we try and always be accessible and fun :)Our photos unfortunately don't always accurately reflect the region of the stock you will receive. Halo 4 is PAL-UK.
Cheers, Wade
Appreciate that Wade. It would be nice to note the region on each game's page. Saves you having to reply to emails. Ill stick with my other UK Halo order. But like the service, bookmarked and signed up for your future deals.
Good opportunity for those who missed out on the videoezy deal :D
Hi
just a quick question..
since your games are from UK and is posted on 6th of NOV. is it sent from UK or Adelaide on the 6th?
ThanksHey Hamdii,
They will arrive in Adelaide on the 6th, and will leave Adelaide on the 6th :)
So if you grab express post you should receive it on the 7th (if in express zone, and Aust Post don't stuff up!)
Cheers,
Wade
I have reported that site to the Office of State Security and Emergency Coordination for suspicious terrorist activity.
Save your negs guys lol
i guess not many people understand his sense of humor.
i didnt find it funny, but "Office of State Security and Emergency Coordination for suspicious terrorist activity" gave it away
I looked outside the office window to check for flashing lights coming down the road after reading this.
This is why my proposal for bright red stickers exclaiming 'THIS PARCEL CONTAINS A BOMB!' hasn't gone ahead.
Cheers,
Wade
I love that there are people who thought I was serious.
Never change, OzBargain.
sorry tantryl, it's just that given your track record, we were expecting better :D
I personal think you are all looking past the fantastic deal we have on Bob Marley. BOB MARLEY.
In fact, I'm wearing my hippie yellow and green tie die tee tomorrow because of this.+1 for not being a douchey sales rep
+1 for an Aussie business with good prices. Support them!
Being in Adelaide, is it possible to do a pickup on Tuesday of the release day?
Don't think they have pickup
Just placed my pre-order with express shipping. Nice price, Kmart has it for $69 so this is a bargain in my books.
Tried creating an account… still waiting on the confirm email :S
Best registration questions ever.
Thanks rep: I've ordered! $49 with express shipping sounds amazing, should be here only 1-2 days after the actual release. I can wait that for $20 saving!haha yes! I skipped passed it all and caught "Never gonna give you up" in the corner of my eye and I HAD to fill it out. :D
Nice, Thanks!
After watching reviews for it, I am now 10x more excited for Halo 4 than I was before.
Can't wait!Just put one in cart, signed up, and you declared yourselves out of stock… Pretty not happy. It said it had 10 minutes to claim and everything. Not cool.
Take it back, back in stock again!
Good deal
But word of advice, you have way too many steps for checkout.
Too many irrelevant questions during sign up
If it wasn't because of the deal, I will walk away…
I liked the questions, it shows they're actually people with a sense of humour.
Anyway, bought one :) My first Halo, how could I resist at this price haha.
Wait…your first halo game? I'd recommend playing through 1-3 before jumping into this one. You'll get a lot more out of it. That's unless you're just getting it for the MP.
All right, guess I'll have to start playing through them then. Oh woe is me :)
You wont regret it. Very good games.
Bought one thanks rep dood!
Does this pre-order include the usual in-game bonus, such as Raptor in game Armor Skin, Locus Helmet and Assassin Multiplayer Emblem, Pulse Armor Skin and Bonebreaker Emblem?
I'm an XBOX 360 noob. I'll be buying one just for this game. Can someone tell me the importance of region encoding on these games? Will an Australian XBOX be able to play this by default?
You'll be fine!
Great deal!
A noob question regarding the PAL-UK stock, I don't need to worry about getting banned playing on Xbox LIVE correct?
Thanks!Certainly not. Well over half my library is UK stock.
Thanks! :) Ordered! ^^
fantastic deal ..thank you
Nice price, even cheaper than UK shop, will get one from u guys
guys, are you sure halo 4 will turn out as good as halo 1-3？
So, I just registered to buy one.
Best damn sign up form ever. I love this site already :D
Ordered! Good deal on what will hopefully turn out to be a good game. Thanks
Ordered! Good price and local store. I hope they turn out to be able to meet demand for the preorders.
Got it. $49 express.
Sweet, grabbed it too.
Great deal
Sweet price, just placed an order.
Thanks OP :-)
Damn it I'm a huge Halo fan but bought the video ezy deal. Can I cancel that one and buy from here express?
Yep, I cancelled my Video Ezy order a few days ago.
I'm hanging on to my Video Ezy order… timing doesn't bother me, I'm far too busy to play it anyway :-(
Fair enough.
.
Got it. Good luck with the business, OP.
Just got email confirming postage sent. If true, these guys are great, and hope they can keep up the momentum and customer service.
Thankyou for the deal, however there are two things I didn't like.
- Disallowing emails containing a + symbol.
- Even though PayPal was the only option, I had to put in my credit card details before I could be taken to the PayPal website.
Regarding your two points:
- Why do you need to do that? Have you got something to hide that you need to use an email address with a + in it?
- Thats incorrect, I selected Continue on the credit card details screen, even though my payment type was PayPal, and went straight to the PayPal login screen to make the payment. I can understand your confusion as its not clear that if you want to pay via PayPal that you should just click Continue to go to PayPal to make the payment.
- I like to append +(website) to my email so I know where my spam is coming from.
- You are correct, it isn't very clear.
Can you guys do Need for Speed Most Wanted any cheaper?
Its about the same price as my local jb hi fi at the moment…
Just canceled my pre-order with Videoezy to get this.
I pre-ordered Assassins Creed III 9 days in advance from videoezy, release day comes and it gets marked as "Backorder."
I emailed them, they said they will have stock soon, then it will take up to 10 days through the post.You guys seem like you have service that is far better.
looks like it's gone. i have it in my cart but i can't change to express postage.
and no longer listed as a bombIts still showing for me.
Just got confirmation that it's shipped via express. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow or Tuesday!
As did I, fingers crossed :D
(Damn cup day being a pubic holiday. And yes, I meant pubic, not public)
Oh true! So unless it comes tomorrow, it won't be til Wednesday at the earliest.
Oh well, I DO have study to do.
Stupid horse race…
EDIT: Wait. QLD doesn't have it as a public holiday, duh.
Also why do you hate Frasier Crane!?
Got my email confirmation too. Awesome.
If this is the service they give, then I will drop ozgameshop as my usual supplier…
Borderlands 2 took 3 weeks to get to me and it was a pre-order.
bugger I missed out on this one :(
No such luck for delivery today, and no events are showing up in tracking so I'm not entirely confident about it showing up tomorrow.
Ok, now i'm worried.
I've got events showing up, but not good ones…
Date/Time Activity Location
05/11/12 16:45 Item damaged - awaiting assessment KENT TOWN SAYep, I've got the same message…
Will chase this up guys..
Cheers, WadeActually, can you both please message me your tracking / order numbers. Thanks!
Sent. Was the item posted in an express bag or box.
EDIT: Forgot my oder number. Invoice #: 759Also sent.
I'd figured The Covenant had lined up a bunch of copies, for glassing practice.
I just gave Kent Town Business Centre a call, who we dispatch with.
It looks like it's been a error in scan, and possibly quite a few of our parcels were marked as damaged.
I spoke to the guy who scanned all of our parcels, and he said that they all are fine and that he's just hit the wrong key! Phew.Cheers,
Wadehey Wade any chance of this deal reappearing?? would love to get this for $44 rather than spend $69 at JB.
Hey Nubzy! Sorry :( Was only a limited deal.. We still have a reasonably awesome price though! Cheers, Wade
Good to hear. I had the same "Item damaged" message in tracking for mine. Hopefully it arrives in the mail sometime tomorrow.
And it was sitting on my desk first thing this morning. Thanks guys!
You guys are legends! I just received the game in the mail, can't believe you managed to get it here on release date. I'm in NSW and chose standard post instead of express, so that's really quick! Will definitely be shopping with you guys again.
Fantastic service. Received the game once I got home and included was a nice letter. Thought I was going to get it sometime later this week but BAM! on release day. Will be buying from you guys in the future for sure.
Damn, mine didn't get delivered today..and i only live minutes from Kent Town
This sucks :( If you shoot me a message I can try and track it myself.. But occasionally Australia Post are a bit unpredictable. Sorry :(
Cheers,
WadeAll good Wade, i'll send you a message if it doesn't come tomorrow.
My local post office (Kensington Park) are a little slack sometimes.The game arrived today, thanks again Wade.
Will definitely be keeping an eye on your specials.
Got mine, I love the little letter. Definitely will keep an eye on the site in the future!
Didn't get mine today :( oh well. Sweet price nonetheless, I can wait.
I got mine too, Very very impressed with the service & timing.
Got Most wanted yesterday and Halo today. Cannot complain at all. UK prices that arrive on release day.
Awesome to hear people are receiving them :)
We want to provide the best service we can, and seeing we received them on Sunday, we thought we would dispatch the same day :)If anyone has any concerns with their parcels, or interested in restaurant recommendations in your area, feel free to shoot me an email to [email protected] or give me a call on 1300 942 639 :)
Cheers,
WadeGreat job Beat the Bomb!
Got Halo 4 yesterday.. Very impressive service :)
