Bargain Prices

Sadly, its a common practice (First Games I'm looking at you) and practically the only ones who put actual product images up are play-asia. They have a template picture up before they receive the game with the words 'Preliminary image' watermarked into it. Then they replace it with the actual cover.

Thats what I have on my cover too, but thankfully it hides away in a kickass Limited Edition material covered fake book.

If you aren't familiar with how MS does its first party asian covers, here it is in its full horrorific glory.

Now don't get me wrong, its was cheap and its a region free game so I'm not terribly fussed about it, but I was hoping that buying from a uk-based seller that I'd get the PAL UK/EU version. Well, apparently not.
I can't imagine the carbon miles this game has clocked up as its gone around the globe from continent to continent.

Now I know why the price is so cheap.

That's what I would've thought too. Maybe read up on some more reviews, see if what they promised actually made it better.

Now estimated time for my monitor is the 26th. That's about a month's wait now!
They better not move that date any more forward!

Thanks for the offer but was only really looking to see if anything else was around on similar deals. Wasn't really after anything in particular.

I thought I'd put in a good word for ozgameshop. Had pre-ordered Mass Effect 2 for PS3 and it was despatched on launch date yesterday/today. Same deal with GT5 in November.

Maybe they put priority on launch titles so back-catalogue games take longer to process.
