Never fear, Gamesmen.com.au still have the free platinum game offer on their website for preorder (but no trade-in deal like GAME, so it's up to you)

They are still advertising the Batman Arkham Asylum deal on their mainpage, I just called a store and kinda asked about it and the guy says it should still be up (the usual if its still being advertised then it should be available talk).
So the trade-in 1 eligible title + $39.95 might still be available, but I can't say for sure until someone gets them to key it in their computer.

Most of those preorder deals are still fine, will be there until launch. I just know the inFamous one was pulled because of shipping problems and the release date was changed (supposed to be June 11, was put forward one week like the US release to June 4).

Managed to use the trade in deal for GH: Metallica (game only - PS3) to get it for about $52. Bought Dynasty Warriors 6 (PS3) from 365games for about $32, traded in to the value of $70. Now only have $19.95 to pay on release date.

The game took about 5 working days for delivery, but they didn't seem to mind/notice that it was a UK version.

Yeah, they say they don't trade overseas games, but really when I talked to the manages of the GAME closest to me he said it's just to make sure they don't get NTSC copies of games since many people don't know what PAL and NTSC are, and with the store being very close to the 2 largest universities in Queensland there's a ton over international people wanting to trade games from Singapore, Hong Kong, etc that won't work.

Any game from Europe (PAL) should be fine.

And on a side note - inFamous demo released on PSN today for anyone interested (the full public one, not the limited one).
