haha nah, it is only a few movies that were edited.

I still got the good old VHS versions that are fully uncut. Sad I know haha. I still got some VHS tapes that were released in the 70s-80s that work great.

 

So 30-4years old. I wonder if my DVD collection will still be readable after so many years.

don't you mean 34years old?

The chips fall into place. $298 plus accessory pack at JBHIFI. bump/



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Nooooooooo, T_T I just paid off the 3DS at EB... cost me $349.95. 

Seeing as EB has a policy to price match, do you think they will reduce my price to $298 if I show them how much JB Hi-Fi is charging for it? Or perhaps I can't anymore, considering as I've already made the purchase?

1 - Cancel the 3DS Preorder at EBGames NOW

2 - Preorder at JBHIFI or Big W

Yeah I think I will have to do that. If it were a $10-$20 price difference I wouldn't bother, but $50 is a lot of money. My friend also told me that he tried to do the same thing with a price match for the xbox 360 slim, though they told him that EB doesn't price match for consoles.

I would go JB HIFI. 

BigW are slow to post out items form their online store. BigW is good for instore preorder though if htey offer the same price.

Sweet... just went down to EB to tell them about JB Hi-Fi's price and they took $50 off my pre-order. I ended up putting the money towards Kirby's Epic Yarn so it's a win-win ^__^.

Good guys preorder bundle is pretty fucking sweet.

$347 with a game of your choice. I called Chadstone store to confirm titles, and alot of these people had no idea what games were included when i asked initially. You get a choice of ANY TITLE launching with the 3DS. They told me you can choose from ND C,Splinter C, SSF4, LegoSW, Ridge Racer, because thats what they knew was def. releasing on the 31st.


I think i might grab that deal aswell now.
