    Friday is almost here, so let's have a look at the cheapest places for you to get L.A. Noire upon Australian release. The cheapest retailer currently scoped is BIG W, at $78.00. Next up, you'll be forced to purchase online at Game.com.au for $82.00, followed by Target stores selling the title for $89. Dick Smith is the next cheapest at $89.94 and after that the prices become quite ridiculous such as $108.00 at EB Games.

    If you're after a real bargain CDWOW.com.au is selling L.A. Noire for $64.95 including free shipping, but you can expect to wait with your copy likely being sent from the UK.

      Not a STEAM release either - so I can't offer special discounts

      unfortunately, there are different preorder bonuses that vary with retailer aswell and some of them are actual cases.
      means either buying multiple copies or forking out for DLC later

      'The Naked City' (Bonus Case) where Phelps investigates the apparent suicide of a fashion model. It also contains the 'Badge Pursuit Challenge' where the player is tasked with finding 20 police badges hidden in the city. Upon completing the task the player is rewarded with the 'Button Man' suit; an in-game piece of clothing that allows the player to carry extra ammo. During the challenge each badge will add 5 XP points to the player's abilities which will help to unlock Intuition Points that can be used to give an investigative advantage in the game.

      'The Broderick' detective suit; a suit that boosts the fighting ability of the player's character as well as its resistance to damage.

      'A Slip of the Tongue'; a traffic case where a simple car theft escalates into a large scale investigation into the largest car fraud racket in the city's history.

      'The Sharpshooter' that enhances a character's aim with pistols and rifles. There are also other promotions involving T-Shirts and vouchers

      'The Chicago Piano' (UK Exclusive) a Machine Gun favoured for its reliability, ergonomics, compact size, large 45-round cartridge, and high rate of automatic fire. This bonus weapon will be stored in the trunk of Detective Cole Phelps' car throughout L.A. Noire.

      I just happen to be in the USA to take advantage of this release, but don't get to play for a couple weeks.

      $60 US when the AUD is buying me about $1.05 US for direct CC purchases is nicer than I was expecting to pay when I returned home.

      I bought it at Harvey Norman for $62.00. Price match of Big W's price and 20% off this weekend lol.

      Is a pretty cool game!
