Online Games Shopping

http://www.cdwow.com.au/

ausjoker from rFire showed me this site and i was pretty surprised at how low the prices are...especially for games that are coming soon. If you're lucky you'll pick up a game for a good price with free postage and handling.

unfortunately Blu Rays seem more expensive at this site then at JB hifi (www.jbhifionline.com.au) so i would probably steer away from that section of the site.

Yeah someone showed me this a while ago. I read it on ausbf so may have been ausjoker or someone. The only problem I hear is that delivery is a week + but that shouldn't be too much of a worry on most items.

yeah its 7-10 days after dispatch but i guess its worth the wait since the prices are significantly lower and im not paying for postage. plus work would probably get in the way of buying these games so yeah.

i did get some console games that i pre-ordered (street fighter 4, halo wars and resident evil 5) but did get Dawn of War 2 and Empire: Total War. If i was buying a game i would play online i would have probably paid elswhere to get the game upfront.

Price lists for the ones i bought

Halo Wars : $86.95 Xbox
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War II : $49.95 PC
Empire: Total War : $62.95 PC
Resident Evil 5 : $86.95 PS3
Street Fighter IV : $64.95 PS3

Yeah not bad pricing at all. I havent bought a new game in ages though lol.

dow 2 should be interesting. I used to play the original a lot. I'm still not sure about the new gameplay mechanics for MP. From what I've heard they have made it very noob friendly and focused on 3v3 a fair bit. I may buy it to play the SP though and see if I like the MP.

its supposed to be very similar to Company of Heroes...thats what Aus Joker told me when he tried out the MP Beta. Im not a fan of RTS online so i probably wont take DOW2 online...starcraft 2 i might...
