Ahaha, even worse :\ I remember them telling me that every store was sold out of WiiPlay and that I should preorder for the next batch. A 2 minute walk up the road revealed that JB had quite a few in stock. Cheers EB!

If any Melbournites visit the city frequently, there's a small upstairs gamestore called Dungeon Crawl on the corner of Bourke and Elizabeth St. that does great prices for PC and console games (PS3 and Wii games to come). Certainly a good alternative to EB, grr.

There's a Dungeon Crawl in Footscray as well; I picked up FFVII there after losing my old copy.

Yeah, that's the base of operations. PSX or PC? My favourite game if you hadn't noticed yet

EB are crap. i went into one yesterday and was looking at burnout revenge for 360. they had a second hand copy for $114, one for $94 and a brand new copy for $70 WTF! I asked the guy how much he can do a second hand one for and he said either 114 ir 94. when i laughed and pointed out they had a new copy for 70 he just looked through me, so i threw the game on the table and walked out.
i never shop there, i either go to Jb, or toysrus for wii games cause i have vouchers and it works out at $69 a game which is pretty sweet. I just dont understand why people would shop at Eb for games, yeah i understand they have the 7 day return thing, but i would rather go and hire it from a video store first or take my chances and re-sell on ebay later than shop at Eb and pay an extra $30. jb had burnout brand new for 63 and eb wanted 114 for preowned. ha ha what a joke.

I got one of lay-by from K-mart It was one of 3 they had, and the other two they had names for already...So I consider myself pretty lucky (even though it's not in my hands yet, at least I know I'll definitely have one).

Will pick it up in Feb sometime hopefully.

What games should I pick up with it (other than the obvious Zelda must-have)?? I've read reviews of some of the other titles that either totally blast the games or totally love the games. It seems there's a "love-or-hate" thing going on with many of the current releases for the wii.
