Oh no no, I went to 4 Big W's, 4 JB's, and 5 EB Games.  So really I would have to factor in petrol costs. But that wouldn't have been more than 15 bucks.

ended up getting some stuff from the big w sale too, splinter cell $2, dark messiah $10, 2x turok $20, 2x Dynasty Warriors 5 $30 and meet the robinsons $10. I have traded them in for borderlands and forza 3 so I'm happy. Also I couldn't go past guitar hero on tour for $20 on a sale table at my local DJ's.

oh and I also got no more heroes for $10 at big w as well
