If you have any questions please feel free to post here :)

[fauxpas]

I hope you copied and pasted all that...

[ommeh]

No not really tony lol! I did email it to myself from work. But coping it down took me a good 2hours.

[why_bother]

What kind of price could you do on wii fit :)

[27AME]

What is the game called thats coming out.. its a war game and the environment is completely destructable. that's all I know, sounds wicked.

[ommeh]

It might be Tom Clancys End War?? I'll follow that up.

WII Fit is sold for $149.95 but i dont get a discount anymore. New company policies. I was lucky enough to get steve a discount on hes WII Guitar :(

[Darthrev]

I do a bit of online gaming Ommeh, have small Battlefield 2 clan (just casual/social) with about 14 of my workmates in it. More fun blowing someone up when you know em personally :p

Wondering when these might be due out for pc:
Battlefield (3): Bad Company - is there going to be a pc version????????
Total War: Empires (Not sure if this one is coming to Oz? is the next one from the Total War: Rome etc... series)

[Steve-B]

so no more discounts tommy ?

[ommeh]

so no more discounts tommy ?

Affriad not steve. Head office had a word with me already lol. They had all the reciepts and ask what i did with all of em :(

But its all good. Just pm me if you are after something and i will see what i can do :D

As for what Darth was saying. Bad compony comes out on the 26/6 and i we dont have anything about it coming to PC as yet. If it was to come to PC (As i heard it was a console only) then expect it to be around 6-10months after this release time and also Total war : Empire is on our system but no release date. Will pm you when we get one :)

[Steve-B]

ah that sucks dude,

mrs-b sends her thanks, she was playing GH3 for 3 hours solid last night..in solo mode...lol

[ommeh]

lol thnx steve. Glad she likes it :)

Has she done that battle at the end with the "Pro" dude ??? That part is awesome fun :D

[Steve-B]

nar not yet.

[Frogman]

i love guitar hero 3... i'm stuck on hard just before the last level

[ommeh]

Oh its very very good. Shes got to do it in career and i think its after her 8th song she gets to do a special challenge with the "pro"

Also heads up guys!

Bourne Conspiracy and Lego Indiana Jones are now on sale. Someone broke the release date (I think it was EB Games) so their on sale now on all platforms. I'm currently muking around on the DS Version and it seems very much a like to the Lego Star wars saga but yer its still hell fun :D

[ommeh]

+

If anyone still wants a Special Edition Age of Conan i still have one in the store that may be put back on sale.

[ommeh]

For all you Xbox fans

Ninja Gaiden 2 has arrived. Its in my storeroom but all our stores should have em. Release date is next week so keep your eye out :D

[aby82]

werez ur MGS4 announcement :rolleyes: geez :p

[ommeh]

* METAL GEAR SOLID 4 *

RELEASED :P

hahaha. This really more for questions and the odd release date :)

Keeping an eye out for devil may cry 4 on PC. Cant wait to play it :)

[ommeh]

+

I have a limited edition at the store. They are VERY rare. If anyone is willing to make an offer for it i can let it go. They are going for around $400AUD on ebay. This one comes with the limited edition DVD as well :)

[kappo]

Ommeh, do you know anything about if gta4's gonna be released for PC? if it doesn't come out on pc i'm gonna be seriously pissed...

[Unforgiven]

honestly im surprised that it isn't :confused: :confused:

[ommeh]

It takes forever ><!

It is rumored but no hard evidence as yet. It does how ever take 10months to turn a console game into a pc game so dont expect it to be any time soon lol.

[Unforgiven]

ooo really......

i thought/ see that most games when realised are released basically all platforms, except the console specific games...

meh shows how much i know...


kappo just get a ps3 lol

[aby82]

gta's diff tho clem.. xbox owners are lucky enough to get it at launch because in the past playstation has gotten em 1st with xbox release following later ;) depends on the game publisher as to whether it multiplatform or not..

[ommeh]

Usually if it is released on multi platform then they spend more time writing the code for each console before release. GTA is different. Its branded as a console game and PC get left overs. Now the PC is starting to get more and more games from their console counterparts but if a game was written for console then converting it to PC code takes a long long time. I'm pretty sure GTA4 should come to PC as i'm one of those waiting for it to come.

[kappo]

kappo just get a ps3 lol

Actually a ps3 is on the cards sometime in the not too distant future to be used as a media box, blu ray player, and not much else...

well, maybe guitar hero :p

But in general I prefer to do my gaming on my pc, for reasons that are likely to provoke a holy war ;)
(IMHO higher resolution graphics, better input devices (mouse/keyboard), and the fact that i dont have a big HD tv :( )

amen on the graphics and input devices... mouse pwns a controller...

pew pew pew pew!!! :D

[alba]

i've gotten used to gaming on the controller again. the newer controllers are heaps better than the dinky old 4 button contol pads of past years ;)

heres my media/gaming set up

[ommeh]

Alba can i have ur TV LOLOLOL!

But yes the PS3 is the best Bluray player you can get as it comes with updated firmware from the PSN (Playstaion Network) where other bluray players you buy in stores wont have this option.

[Steve-B]

Mad props to tommy / Ommeh, once again hooked a brother up. If you need anything game hit him up, he will look after u ! My hands are sore from hours or play tommy, was hard riding the moto to work, lol

[27AME]

Sorry Tommy - just bought Juiced 2 from EB for $29.95 :p

[ommeh]

Glad you love it Steve :D

World tour does that to you lol~


Juiced 2 :o

i think we're selling it for like $19.95 :S

[27AME]

I agree, Juiced 2 is pretty lame, but I had a $30 gift card and its the only thing I could afford. Would have got an NBA game but I can't handle not having the latest in sports games :p

The game has some sweet body kits though...

[ommeh]

no i mean juiced 2 was a sick game loL!

i loved it. Drifting in it is awesome :D

GRID FTW tho~

[27AME]

haven't played GRID... won't buy another "racing simulator" type game until I finish Forza 2... Or until GTA5 comes out :p

[Silverado]

hey tommy/ommeh

can u hook me up with assins creed for pc ?
cheaper the better....hehe...

[Silverado]

i meant assassins creed....:p
also...need for speed undercover...
cheers

[ommeh]

NFS is on special atm. Cheaper then me buying it alone. Its 2 for $120 (Any EA game) so if you want like NBA Live or something on that line you can get it with NFSUndercover for $120. Pretty good price seeing its like 100 alone.

As for assasins creed i think i can get it for like $44 if not less. Let me know before hand and i'll get it for you and you just pay me back at a meet or something.

[27AME]

that 2 for 1 deal sounds pretty damn good... is NBA 09 good?

[aby82]

i'm waiting for GT5 also.. grrr but its still gonna be a while - so i've been playing little big planet (its pretty awesome :D) and waiting for my copy of resistance 2 to arrive from o/s ;)

[Silverado]

yeh the 2 for $120 does sound good. ill see what other EA game id like to get then. as for assassins creed-my bro ended up getting it anyway for $50.

[ommeh]

hahah sweet as npz

yer that EA deal is good if your into those games. My mate for FIFA09 and NBA09

their pretty techincal games. Pretty fun if you got 2 controllers. Gets unco when you got 4ppl lol~

GT5... sighs at that lol 31st of March lol!

[ommeh]

Also there are other deals that others may be interested it.

Christmas catologue started today so yer plenty of deals at GAME. Also i'll give you a tip. We are pricematching ANYTHING even if its under cost price we will match it if its in stock and in the same shopping centre. If the dude doesnt do it tell him to read hes till message and that you have inside information lol~

Also there are some good deals like Wii Fit + Shawn White Snow Boarding or Rayman Raving Rabbits TV Part for $156 witch is freaking awesome ($124 for Wii Fit + $35 for game)

Also for you DS Fan's we have a huge range of Buy one Get one Free as well. Make sure you check the catalogue for what games are in that deal as i know some stores dont always put the sticker on it.

Anyhow if you want any inside info on deals and shit or how to get the best deal just write here or PM me. I garantee i can do something better for you.
