Two months ahead of the likely Australian release of Star Wars: The Old Republic, EB Games has begun importing and selling the game throughout their network of bricks and mortar stores, as well as on their website where stock is still available. Harvey Norman's Direct Import store is yet to follow suit.

EB are selling SWTOR for $78, a whopping $18 more than other online stockists that ship to Australia such as ozgameshop.com - but the difference is that it's in stock, and you can grab...

Not too long ago Kogan began selling grey-market Apple, Samsung, Canon and Nikon products at far cheaper prices than what you would find in Australian stores, online or bricks-and-mortar.

Harvey Norman is the next in line to send a strong message about pricing in Australia, with Gerry Harvey hypocritically announcing www.h...

Skyrim's release date has been broken and is now being sold at EB Games, Game and Harvey Norman. For now, Harvey Norman is by far the best deal, but let us know if any other retailers such as JB HI-FI have gotten in on the action.

Gran Turismo 5 is out tomorrow. Yes, seriously. Pinch yourself. Although, you should be warned that once you have the game, there's a 133mb patch to download, and then an hour long install thereafter. Thankfully functionality has been built in so you can play while it installs, but that patch you're just going to have to sit there and wait for. Inconveniences aside, let's move onto the topic of this article and have a look at where you should be buying this console generation's most anticipated racer....

It's almost 1am here on the East coast of Australia, July 27th. I've just come back from Brisbane's StarCraft II launch party, 2000 fanatics strong, featuring producer Kaeo Milker.

In 2009 the fighting genre was revitalised as a single game inspired a new generation of players and recaptured the last. There's no doubting the significance and brilliance of Capcom's Street Fighter IV, but what's surprising is that its latest iteration, Super Street Fighter IV, is being hailed as something even better.

SSFIV has a meta review average of over 90 for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and after reading just a couple of the reviews it's not hard to see why. It's out today for $78 at EB Games, and the 'tournament manager' will be available for download on June 15th....
