I am trying to track something down a game (God of War Collection 2) from Dick Smith's big sale but the only place that has copies is Shepparton (apprarently).
If there's a member in that town who's willing to help let me know. I'm happy to pay postage plus a little more to track it down.
I recently bought mine from Ebay for $35 shipped (original and sealed). If you have no misgivings about buying games from Ebay, let me know and I'll shoot you a link.Quote:

I got mine from the Dick Smith sale on monday for $5, I doubt there will be any left by now though. Don't know why everyone is complaining about the sale, what a bunch of chumps. It's a clearance sale and you could look up the stock online to find what stores had things in. I just went and stashed the 2 games I wanted behind 8 dusty copies of Call of Duty: World at War on Saturday afternoon then just waltzed in on Monday morning and picked 'em up.
A Dick Smith near where I work there was this huge line of people. I didn't know what it was so I asked one of the people and they mentioned the game sales. The thing is that this Dick Smith always had a crappy ancient games library with nothing worthwhile and it is common sense that they are likely to only have 1 or 2 consoles available for the sale and that they would be snapped up by staff before the doors open.Quote:

I wanted to get to a Dick Smith store earlier but work got in the way. By the time I could shop, the stores had limited stock left.
"Limited stock" means "1 in stock" apparently.
And apparently God Of War Collection 2 is a popular shoplifting target because the three stores I went to all had "1 in stock" according to the computer but it was on the shelf, or out the back, so it "must have been stolen". That's at three different stores!
The remaining store sold out while I was travelling to it! :(
Kup, I would buy it on eBay but only for $30 or less. I had the chance to buy in store at that price a few weeks ago but passed it up. I was however extremely keen to get it for $5.
I'm told the Shepparton store has 5 copies in stock, unless they've all been nicked too, but unless there was someone in the area that could help me there they will stay. The two and half hour drive there and the two and half hour drive back aren't really worth if I can get it for $30 or less on ebay.
