It seems so but I called two BigW's that are kidna nearby (I'm in regional Vic). One said that they usually get games about a week after they are released and the other said that GH3 goes on sale on Wednesday and that she didnt know about the sale on saturday.

Lol. No Big W in Tasmania...hahaha.


ha ha ha...very funny! You cheeky little buggers.
There are actually Big W stores down here, but they're all down south, and I live up north damn it! But we're getting one apparently, in the future, sometime.... Yay!
Luckily I'm not sure if I want this or not.

I can confirm this sale is definately the real deal. I went into my local Big W & spoke to a manager & she showed me the catalog with the $98 price tag & said it was one day only on the 10th but wouldnt give me a catalog to keep as it wasnt out yet, she said it should be delivered to people before Saturday. I then rang EB & they said aslong as I had the catalog they would price match it or they could ring Big W & confirm the price when I come & pick up my pre-order.

When you say "delivered to people", do you mean delivered to individual stores?

No she said the catalogs should be delivered out to your letterbox before the sale starts as I wanted one so I could show EB (didnt tell her what I wanted it for of course) on Thursday to price match, it will proberly be inside their normal catalog for the week as its a small square catalog , not the usual size.

has the wii version got anything that the PS3 version doesn't?

but i was trying to save my pennies for metroid and galaxy

any help greatly appreciated

i might pass then..

it'd look better on the PS3 anyway.. it's not like it's using the wiimote and that, so what's the reason for playing it on the wii

i'm not being a traitor, lol
but it's the wiimote and all that which makes the wii so awesome
but GH3 will be the same on all consoles

also, if my mate buys it and not me.. that means that everyone will be hanging at his house to play it and not at mine :P

... graphics ... for GH3 ...

It is one of those games where graphics can only be described as fluff. When you are playing you have no idea of what the characters are actually doing on the screen, you are too busy throwing a pacman and trying to catch the dots. TBH even when I watch someone else playing I get suckered in to watching the dots falling as opposed to the random shenanigans on stage.

That would be false advertising wouldnt it, I personally spoke to the manager of a Big W store, its a one day only special & numbers will be limited, its the real deal & its a great deal. If you want it at this price & EB wont price match on the day its released then wait til Saturday & get to a Big W at 8.30am. You cant reserve or pre-order this deal.
