Magic is magical, so are shoes... Along with plastic.
Don't forget to flush the toilet, because -blam!- stinks.

I contacted my local EB games to find that the Limted Edition costs $200!?!?!?! wtf

Can anyone enlighten me why? or that there's a cheaper price?

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

yeah wtf ODST = $100 and LE controller = $70 so wtf

basically its because retailers take the american price and double it, regardless of what our dollar is worth :-(
can someone do the cost of ODST and a wireless controller (US$) and divide by 0.8 plz? that will give you the REAL value of the LE pack

ODST will be a $100 game standalone in Aus and controller prices are still at $70 almost everywhere, sometimes even $80

But $99 USD is $122 AUD using proper converters. So under $150 would be fair or excellent.

Yeah they were the prices, not what they are actually worth. Which is about 70% of what they are priced at.

I'm Zac. I'm an Aussie and I love to surf and play Halo 3

Yeas that is pretty ridiculous.
But you gotta remember that some EB staff are total dumbasses. (from my experience anyway)
:)

Also, Try JB HI-FI. They always seem to be cheaper

I never go to EB, Gametraders are much more helpful and the price is often $10 less.

Looks like I'm not getting the Limited Edition of ODST after Halo 2 and 3 Limited Editions.

......Thanks Microsoft Australia.

JB HiFi seems to be my new game source, EB have screwed me over before with their dumbassery (but not all staff are) and prices , but were great at the midnight launch of Halo 3.
