Hey TL

I haven't purchased sc2 yet and I'm trying to find the best/most reasonable price @ Brisbane. I recall recently there were many sales for $65~$69 which is around what I'd like to pay however I can't find any on at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated as I can't justify paying $80-$100 retail when Direct download from blizzard RRP is like $73 after exchange rates.

i heard like dick smith or kmart or something was doing it for 70$, cant remember exactly which one, but if you try and price match at 70 you should get away with it

Kmart is selling it for $39.99 right now. It's out of order, but if you print the sheet out and bring it to best buy they will honor the price and give it to you for $40.

kmart

Edit: Also, I don't know if this is true, but i hear Kmart is giving rain-checks that last up to 30 days on in-store purchases.

Dick Smith is selling it for $70 online and in store, however they've been having stock problems since release so good luck there.

Easier imo to go to EB or Game (if game price matches) and ask for a price match.

dont go to eb unless youre going there to get them to price match
if you have a jb hifi in your area that'd be your cheapest option

Try Dick Smith or JB HiFi, they were both selling for $69 on release day I believe. Also try Harvey Norman, they had area specific sales (not sure about Brisbane). Call up the nearest shops to you for price checks. Don't get the direct download, it's pretty much the same as getting it from EB(ie you are getting ripped off) unless you are buying the US version.

Thanks for the help guys, I might give GTR's suggestion a shot as I've checked DSE/JB/HN/EB/Game and they are all charging 89+ on their websites.
