I actually got my Wii u on sale for $200 :)

Hmm, that is a good deal. I'm going to wait another year or two before I pick up a Wii U though.



If those guys are actually a big retailer and the management is good and cares about doing good business, they will restock for the holiday season both 3DS and Wii U.

Thats the thing though. they have been in a downward spiral for awhile now. I think there trying to focus on areas they are successful at, gaming isnt one of them and WiiU isnt helping. Pure guess work here but I would say they arent in the top 5 grossing retailers for gaming in Australia and thats pretty bad. especially when you factor in online shops, seeing as imports are so much cheaper and easily accessable here.



Wow, bummer. I missed it too.

Does Amazon sell games and stuff in Australia? (I do realize it is fun to go to stores and try stuff out though.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Australia dont have our own Amazon, although we can still get Amazon to ship to us. It just costs us a heap for shipping =(  When I bought Hyrule Historia the shipping was almost the same price as the Book

Bummer, that always bugs me too, when you can get something on discount, but half of it goes to shipping.

One of the nice things about digital sales though.  No shipping!

Another problem in Australia, internet. You know for such a great place we have some serious issues here. We still pay for how much we can download per month and so Im stuck on an average speed with only 120gb per month. With 5 people living in my house that never lasts an entire month. To make things worse our new Prime Minister may scrap the national broadband network plan that was slowly being implemented. that would have put us back on par with 1st world countries.

Argh, that sounds very frustrating. 

Oh, know, that's bad. The progress on the big 'digital backbone' was a great idea.  Although seems like politics ruined it like the giant USA super collider.

As I saw that digital plan would have had you ahead of many other countries.  Maybe Google Fibre can come scare up some more efforts.
