Hey Guys,

I noticed earlier today someone was asking about Halo 2's release date and Limited Edition in Australia. Well, i've just been to my local Electronics Boutique store on the sunshine coast and firstly, the Limited Edition Halo 2 game WILL be hitting Australian stores but you do have to pre-order to get it. The bonus is that it's at no extra cost, it's $99.95 and he told me that everyone who pre-ordered gets the Limited Edition until they run out of copies (Remember this may just be at E.B.) Another wicked thing he mentioned is that November 9th has been confired for Australia aswell and he hinted towards a midnight trade on november 9th (not confermed but would be cool). Anyway guys, i hope that puts a few Aussies at easy and i hope this wasn't a double post (incase someone already had told you all)

P.S Queensland's gonna kick some cockeroach hinny in State of Origin II

The reason why it doesn't cost any extra for us is cause we're already payin more than we should for it. if you do the calcumalations correctly, or with http://www.xe.com/ It'll say that $50 US is only about $70 or $80 Australian. EB's are just being greedy.

We pay $100, because we've always paid that. Every new system that ever come out has sold it's top rank games in Australia for that price, it's juts the norm. They're not going to change it because of Excange Rates.
That's what Australian accepts, so that's what they get. If they tried to *up* the price, however, it's be a different matter.

I'll have to go ask em over near Melbourne, i preordered it ever since it was confirmed...

I'll go down there next time i wanna put some $$ on it and say, what about that Special Limited Edition?

Anyway they did release final Fantasy 10 at midnight.... if they do it wiht Halo2, we'el be getting it a good 12 hours early... (maybe a little less)

That's sweet, I'd heard from my local EB saying that it may be out on the 10th or 11th, but if we get it on the 9th that's kickass, plus we'll be ahead of America, see you on LIVE
hehe

I live on the sunny coast aswell and the EB at the plaza told me November 11 when i pre-ordered just the other day. Plus I very much doubt Australia would get such a high profile game first even if it is just for a few hours earlier. So the 10th or 11th sounds more likely to me.

Fellow Aussies Unite.

I went to my local out of the way gamestore not 2 weeks ago and asked about pre-ordereing HALO2 and how much. He said $89.95. I thought Kewl. A good price for a ripper game but I held off ordering there because he is more likely to get a late delivery or whatever than EB. So i went there and said,t his guy is willing to let me have HALO2 for $89.95. What do you do it for? He said, $99.95. I said match it and you got a deal. He said OK. You can get it for a better price. Don't take the sticker price as final. BARTER!!! BARTER!!! BARTER!!!

Hey Australians, I just rang EB and they told me November 9 worldwide release including Australia and he said that they were trying to organise a midnight launch. So all that sounds pretty sweet.
