Default [EB Games AU] Fallout 3 TODAY!!
I now hold in my hands the collectors edition of the long awaited PC title Fallout 3!

Has anyone else had the same fortune as myself?

No source at the moment... But I'm working on it.

Edit: Searched and found nothing on this... I hope it hasn't already been posted?

Edit #2:
I found a source for this after a quick Google search.

That's what I thought, but i received the following txt message about 20 minutes ago.

Quote:
Your fallout 3 pre-order is now available to pick up from EB Games Cat & Fiddle Arcade. Please bring your receipt or some form of id.
As it turns out I work no more than 5 minutes from the store. I immediately went it to investigate and what do you know, it was there waiting for me.

I cannot wait to get home to try this game out!

jesus christopher, it's always shocking when you see AUS games priced near $100 when they're selling for half that in the US, it makes little to no sense to me

F--- this game. It's a constant crash and freeze nightmare. It took me 2 hrs of troubleshooting on my own last night just to get past the intro screen.

Wow! Well I have less than an hour before I leave for home. I wonder how I'll go getting this game to run?

lol tell me about it mate.

if we ever get a new release title for sub-$70 its a BARGAIN. and with the current exchange rate, importing doesnt help either.
