As much as i enjoyed my many play throughs of Zelda OoT on the N64. i dont think i can justify the price of a 3DS just for this game (though i am tempted). So maybe in time when i can get a good deal.

im going to buy some lables from office works and just print of the OFLC symbols and stick em on. If they can do it then i should be able to too.

Is this for a specific JB/Game or just all stores in general?

Personally i think you should just eBay them. Chances are you will get at least ~$20 for whatever game it is and a new game from UK will likely cost ~$60. So it works out to be roughly the same.

It seems to be all the JB and GAME's in my area. Your right about selling them and buying it from the UK as it works out the same its just sometimes i want the game when its released not a week later.

For along time now i have always been someone who imports games (PS3 in particular) from the UK. This is great for the consumer as it generally costs half price and the only difference between the UK and AUS versions is the ratings symbol on the cover. Yes even the discs are generally the same with both UK PEGI symbols and AUS OFLC symbols.

Anyway around the MIDDLE of last year JBHIFI put their foot down and said they cant except these game cause they were imported and there would be issues with the rating system and getting DLC from the online store. This is not the case with the UK versions as they are the same disc so it access the AUS Store. I was fine with this its a vaild concern of theirs.

Not too long after GAME has followed suit and wont accept UK PAL imports either. Once again i was fine with this its a vaild concern of theirs.

Now whats really got me a little aggravated is that both JB and GAME's pre-owned section is still (i say still cause there were a lot of new releases there too) full of imported games with the AUS OFLC rating stickers posted over the other rating symbols. So i call bull****.

Anyway this is just me ranting does this annoy anyone else?

Im in half a mind to go to a sticker printing company and get them to print some of the AUS OFLC stickers for me.

So WET is on the List until the 4th of the March. That is more than 2 weeks to order some cheap copies of WET from the uk.

So you order 2 copies of WET for Approx $48 AUD Delivered thats $24 each.

 http://www.dvd.co.uk/Games/Wet-PS3/WETPS3/product.htm

Then you can use em on trade in 1 and pay x amount for the game

 http://www.game.com.au/tradedeals

So it ends up being :

$53.95 for Aliens v Predator
$63.95 for BFBC2
$63.95 for Heavy Rain
$63.95 for MAG
$63.95 for Dante's Inferno
$63.95 for Bioshock 2

and many more

Ive been doing this for a few weeks now.

Anyone found some good quality images of the Figure?  More interested in the white one, the long robes just look cooler Smiley  But any pics would be good.  If its a high quality item I may actually shell out. If not, I'll simply import like I always do.  It's less than $60 from both DVD.co.uk and 365games.co.uk.

here we go

I was in my EB at Morayfield and they had one of those little handout things they give out. It had the trade values for each week after launch. Trade it within the first week and it would be worth $95. I did not collect any of these handouts however I will try to get 1 tomorrow and scan it.

thank you thats exactly what im after, i would go up and get one myself but im kinda locked up atm Uni exams.

I'd be very surprised if Turok on PS3 was not $10.  That's the price I got it for in a Sydney store.  Did you scan it?

I didnt scan it but it was on the clearance table and had a yellow clearance tag on it saying was this price and now $40.

 Dont u have to take it to the counter and get them to scan it?
