Pope of Pot, King of Nothi Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Yeah, I'm inner west. Postie does a late swoop. Devo though. Raining, and procrastinating hard. Who would've thought that banking finance would be so boring? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently cramming for "The Economics of Financial Institutes" - tomorrow is the exam. Then I have ten days to cram for Adv. Macroeconomic Policy. Ready to cut my wrists if I'm honest The Ecos for FI's course had a lecture on Friday from 5-8pm... needless to say, I'm learning off the course notes exclusively!!! On the home stretch though - last topic now... if FM11 were to come, it'd be perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisCryptic Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Unfortunately the Royal Mail- Australia little mishap is continuing. here is the excerpt from their site. Due to unprecedented customer demand, airfreight capacity into Australia combined with restricted and finite airfreight capacity, delays of approximately 7-10 days are currently being experienced for mail posted to the Sydney and Melbourne areas, with slightly lesser delays to Perth and Brisbane. I know the feeling Pope, Ive had 6-9pm lectures Friday both semesters this year (this current semester Thursday and Friday....). FM11 popping up tomorrow would be brilliant, although might distract me from my IT subject exams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I paid full price at EB Games, that was before I came on this site. I sent my girlfriend to get it while I was at work so in reality it probably cost me closer $250 as I noticed she brought Black OPs & WoW: Catalyst on my credit card through Steam. I prefer having the CD and playing it when I want rather than waiting a couple of weeks. With my gaming habits, I probably would have given up on FM11 before it arrived. I only played FM10 for about a month, and gave up on that too. Only played a few time since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsFootballNotSoccer Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I thought the advantage of downloadable games was the ability to sell at a flat price. For steam users in the UK, I believe it costs 30GBP which is equivalent to 49AUD. For steam users in the US and the Australia, it costs 90USD which is equivalent to 92AUD. That's almost double the price for Australians which just seems a bit ridiculous. Anyone know why this is the case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regional pricing... monopoly, etc. There's no one undercutting them, so there's just no incentive to price any differently. Especially since the marginal cost is so low....

If ozgameshop said 7-10 days, does that mean 7-10 + 7-10? NOOOOOOooooo. My 7+7 is today. So anytime between now and next Monday according to them. If it isn't here next Wednesday then it's the 21 days in which Royal Mail consider it lost so I'm going to look for a refund - I don't want to wait for another copy to be sent out. The demand is probably caused by the strong Aussie dollar - but I've never had a Royal Mail from the UK take so long before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranson52 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Anyone gotten their purchase from Ozgameshop yet? Well I'm up to 13 days waiting (in WA) and no sign yet. Maybe today....or tomorrow....or the day after...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisvegas Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 My Zavvi purchased game didn't get dispatched till the 8-9th of November.... tried to cancel it, but couldn't.

MSCCG Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Don't get it from the hut either, they say it takes 3-5 working days, but when you contact them that's when they tell you international purchases take 15-20 working days. Don't mind the FM so much because I have a whole year to play it but everyone has almost finished black ops and I haven't even started. Ruining my holiday.

La Furia Roja Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 if you want to buy it cheap online, why not buy it from an australian online store? as said stores are selling it for like $55 online and its taking 2-3 days to get Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcker Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Not in todays mail. My only annoyance is that the Royal Mail delays started after I ordered the game and before it was despatched. I probably would have cancelled if I'd known of the delays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCryptic Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Mine was sitting at the gate for me when I got home from work (Western Sydney), so it seems they are starting to pop up, I hope you all receive yours tomorrow, as the weekend wait will be hell.

Sancho Panza Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Anyone in NZ or Aus should be ordering from Gameplay IMO. I got mine on the Tuesday after it was realeased.
