some of the articles i have read had thrown some figures around because of SEA game servers, and a $100+ price tag, but i mean i can get the BOX for $88 so im hoping not.

I just prefer not to get Hard copies these days because i simply dont need the copy, and i end up loosing it.

Well I just pre-ordered my copy at Albert St. Never been to a launch thingy before. Should I dress as a Void Ray or a Muta? lolz.

If you're referring to the midnight launch I thought you had to have your pre-order in by 21/7 to have it ready on the night? :<

I may attend the launch with a mate from work but i'll pick up my copy in the morning :P

Guess not. I went in and said I will be attending midnight. They said about 1000 people are expected and they will have around 50 staff on hand.

sadly it only gets to you on the 28th.. but its the most reasonable price that ive been able to find... but i want it tuesday!

lol pretty much why I didn't order online. I am a sucker for day 1 play. Don't buy many games so I'll fork out the extra monies.

Sydney people will probably get it on Tuesday. Pretty sure EB's distribution centre is in Brisbane but they are expensive regardless :P

Actually on the DSE page you will see this quote
Pre-Order now and have it dispatched 1 day before release date. Most Metropolitan areas will receive the game on release day. Release date 27.07.2010.

Place I ordered my CE from sent me an email saying they are shipping it via some registered post thing to avoid mail loss, so I don't get mine to the 28th or 29th. I'm a saaaaaaaad panda.

Yeah this dude on QGL has his bnet in korean. Pretty lolz.

Down the bottom right of bnet when you login there should be 'internationa' with a little globe icon. has all the language options in there.

At least attempt to understand what you are talking about when trolling.

can you use Direct Debit at Dick Smith ?
I dont do credit cards.

I just selected it and it comes up with a $6.95 delivery fee ?
still cheap though.
