Lol there is a reason why dedicated game shops are more expensive to buy from then the likes of Big W, JB Hi-Fi etc. Game shops are relying on games, consoles etc to make money. Big W and JB Hi-fi sell many other things that make them money which means they can then afford to sell games at a cheaper price.
Never ceases to amaze me the amount of criticism I see about Game shops in regards to the price of games and the freebies they offer. They are just doing what they can to try and compete without sending themselves broke.
Gaming stores aren't the only ones affected by the larger 'general' stores. Book stores, toy stores, clothing stores etc etc all have the same problems in trying to compete with them.
By all means buy the game at the cheaper price but it is a bit unfair criticizing them when they aren't even close to being on a level playing field.
