What is your fall looking like for game releases?

That's dedication paying off games in advance. Wish I had that type of trust.

Only reason is because i get them significantly cheaper as one of our major game stores (called "GAME") offer trade in deals like "Trade 3 Xbox 360 games, pre-order one FREE" on selected titles which included the likes of Fable 2, GOW 2. So you can buy cheap games at one retailer (say $10-$15 each), and trade 3 of them together to pay off a game you actually want

Most games will retail locally for $99.95 AUD (standard versions), but using my exploits i've pre-order these games in full for an average of around $40 each!

The only issue is that i've only ordered Standard versions as per the conditions of the promotion - i normally prefer to get tin cases and all the extras - but i can live with that.

How do you go about getting something like Fallout 3? Isn't that banned in Australia, or did that one sneak through?

The original version has been banned, but they'll be releasing an edited version locally.

Dunno whats been cut/edited, if its something major, i may break the law and import a UK version as UK and Australia are both PAL...but if its insignificant (like GTA IV, where we also got an edited version), then i'll just buy locally.
