Have you seen?

The current exchange rate?

It is sitting at AU - US @ 99.33 cents.

Time to hit playasia.

I just got Meddle of Honor for $55 including postage.

That beats EB Games' advertised price of $108 by $53. Effectively half price.

Thank god for a region free console.

Yeah, it's awesome! :thumbs_up:

Silly local retailers charging $110+ for a game when you can buy and ship it half-way 'round the world to your door for half the price. :lol:

I think the biggest issue is that the AU dollar has not got stronger, the US dollar has got weaker. I am wondering how much longer the prices in the US will hold.

Shipping is from the UK. I've found them to take between 1.5 to 2 weeks. Better than CD Wow I must say. I've quite enjoyed using 365games and now Ozgameshop.

with play asia depends who u go with (IE fedex UPS ect) and if they have it in stock or have to wait for it to be prepared (tells u if it will take 1-2 weeks kinda thing to prepare ect) but ya looking 4 days for fedex an ups stuff. i did just get bubble wrap that is 5-10 days or somthing and i got it in 4-5 days. Play asia is fairly quick for getting them out as soon as ya order them aswell its pretty much st8t away or the next day and its sent.

yeah they're both good, i prefer ozgameshop/365games though because the shipping is free and they dispatch extremely quick, sometimes within a few hours after you order. also they are UK/PAL games which is a safer bet with DLC and have a higher trade-in success rate.
