Get it here, UK version, brand new, limited edition: $42.99 and free shipping to Aus / NZ

Give retail the middle finger!

thanks bro thats awesome 

saves me having to import from hong kong or UK  

i will get Shogun 2 from there and crysis 2  

Actually, you ARE getting it from the UK, that's a UK store that sells to Aus / NZ gamers specifically so the mail time is kinda long (5 days ) the money are all in Aus dollars though and the shipping is free so I've never complained.

I use to buy most of my stuff from playasia, but ozgameshop is arguably cheaper and provide UK version of games rather than Asian.

oh righto. thats cool anyways. 5 days is better than 2-4 weeks from hong kong
