why dont they have nice deals on the burnout



GAME had burnout on special for 79bucks about 2 weeks ago.. i dont know if the special is still on, but its worth a look since that's cheaper than preowned copy at EB..

siddsm and RSOP:

Nice setup guys i was thinking of the horizontal fan so that it'll fit in my entertainment unit. good to know it adds another usb port.

which setup is better for the ps3 - horizontal or vertical? you guys experience any heating problems? when it's vertical, i think its odd that the intake fan is on the top while the exhaust fan is on the bottom of the unit. it should be the other way around for more efficient cooling

how can you guys like buying from EB, i went there last nite, really hate seeing them take out all the disc and manuals, and just leave a damn scratched box full of sh|t stickers on them flying around and people just throwing it everywhere, and you still call these games BRAND NEW ??? paying over $50 for these, i'd rather order my copy with factory sealed from online store ...

yeah i know what you're talking about... i have not bought a game from eb yet, just online and another store. they do treat the cases etc kinda bad... but i have to admit, this sale they have now is pretty good

79 for a burnout sounds good
i dont have any probbiesof overheating at all...my ps3 is on almost 15/7.
well i think the ps3's fan in the bottom is placed reversed..so it pushed the hot air towards the top and gets it off.....and not to forget it has holes on its sides too for the air circulation..

Man are you serious? Thats ASIA... or AMERICA... the last time i checked Australia pays more than Asia or America for EVERYTHING. You cant compare the prices cause even Big-W, the cheapest shop around, is higher than Asia prices... its called currency conversion and cheap labour.

How can you not compare overseas prices when ITS THE SAME GAME?

dont forget im comparing 2nd hand to brand new - they probably bought the games back for $30 each and are passing them off for $90! Thats ok with you is it?

Woah ... that's like what ... $109.95 x 7? $769.95? Holy m.......
I buy mine from overseas, cheaper price and strong Aussie dollar. I'll reconsider depending on the AUD/USD exchange rate.

I'm considering purchasing a preowned San Andreas for PS2 from EB. $9.90 ...

gawd !!
one hell of a rich person i must say.
But seriously, this is ridiculous, we sell games at EB or Hifi for 40-50$ and then they sell it back for 90-100bucks, just 10$ lesser than a brand new.
More of us who gonna trade games with those shops, gonna keep supporting them.
I say lets stop trading games to them, rather trade games amongst ourselves.
I could friggin launch a website which would just let users cross platform to trade their original games, without spending a single cent.

yea i help this guy called brian HFM dont know what happened to him on this site, cause he runs also his own site similar to this and as popular, and what ive helped him do and gave feed back is what you just said trading games. The thing but we tried to do something to this site to and asked the admnins and they gave us feedback saying its not that good because they don't want to be reposible for anything losed or damaged, and said if you want to trade games with someone then work it among your self and discuss.

true that, the admins of this site shudn't be accountable for any such damages.
-we have to imply secured logins and registrations.
like information which confirms a user's full name, address and permanent contact number.
-we have to put in the Agreements, that the users agree to the fact, that in case of any forgery while using our website, we could involve a legal procedure against them, using the information they provided us.

Everything can be worked on, I am sure there are thousands of legit users, who would actually like to trade games, instead of scamming each other.
Thats the thousand am looking at.
It costs nothing on running a website and registering a domain, but if we all genuinely contribute, including different forum admins, we could stop those dumb companies/retailers to rip our hard earned money off us for no cause.

Any product or service whose development involves the consumers themselves have always been successful.
GG Game client for example... Even many gaming hardware products are developed after an extensive consumer research...and launched with the "For the Gamers, by the Gamers" tag.
