Yeah it definetly sounds scary from what you are saying. I don’t know much about online pre-orders myself. If you need to know any Australian online game retailers then send me an email.

Oh, so you’re based in Australia. I’m a bit nearer than you think. ;) Based in Manila, Philippines. I guess this +20% is a given since such products go through shipping and taxes.

However, I still think you’re better off in Australia. The grey markets are alive and well in our shores so PS3 prices are generally over that +20% mark you mentioned.

I can only imagine with horror how much an English MGS4’s limited edition would cost here. Or if it would ever hit our store shelves in the first place.

As for the bundle, I am just waiting until official details are released about the Australian bundle. I am totally confused about which model is in the pack be it the 40gb or 80gb model. Price wise I am also clueless, with the one exception being that our, Australian price will be 20%+ of your American price. Thats unfortunately a given.

Regarding this PS3 bundle you plan to get, it’s an 80GB model, right? I reckon the price would be at least $499. Since it’s a bundle, they may give the game away for free.

Would this be your first console in this generation?

I myself will be purchasin the limited edition Playstation 3 bundle. As of yet I have no idea of price or anything like that.

Hey Daniel, are you getting this game? Because if you are, do you have any idea on how to get the special edition? I’ve checked Play-Asia on how to get a special ed, but the language would seem to be Japanese.
