It's fun for people who are new to the wii and rayman OMG, I get so pissed off with that game.

But it's my bro's so I'm not sure if I can trade it, Spider-Man 3, my bro's again. He only likes it because you get to swing around the place....How many traded in games for GH:III?

I will probably be getting a trade deal for SMG from JB HIFI, the only problem with that for you is that they dont take Wii Play as a trade in. But you can trade in just TWO wii games and get Galaxy for FREE, but wait, there's more, you also get a FREE play guide (the premiere) edition too, so that's fantastic value! Again though, the except every game except for Wii Play and Wii Sports.

GH3 FC ----> 1461 4445 5411

Oh, and for your viewing pleasure, the JB catalogue...

PS. Now after looking at those scans I cant remember if they said you could get SMG for the trade deal, but you would only need to call them and ask.

For GH3 at EB to trade stuff in, I bring you more viewing pleasure... (I dont want to stretch this page so be prepared for the SPOILER BUTTON OF DEATH)

Spoiler Alert!

That's a tad confusing...trade in 3 wii games for to get it down to 89.95 (sorry bad english) and then one more wii game gets you it for free...? How does that even make sense? But I guess that's trade-ins for ya. Sucked in to the PS3 people their games cost about 2 times more than what they do on the wii and they still got give in 4.

I'm still not sure about which game to get...? But the more and more I think about it GH:III seems to be getting more and more enticing...WAIT! They've got all those cheap ass games now don't they? Like koronopia and crap, perhaps I could buy one or 2 of them, pending on price and then trade them in instead of other good games I have.? Would that work out or am I just stupid....

I might ask my mum if she wouldn't mind buying me SMG for christmas...Also another option is, I could (becuase my bro and sis work at Kmart) buy the game whatever it may be and then if I don't like it, I could take i back becuase we have those blue seal things, but I suppose I wouldn't be able to do that for GH:III also, would you reccommend getting 2 guitars I I did get it?

1. You misread the add, it's 2 PS3 or Wii, not 2 PS 3 Wii for $89.95. That's the deal I did at EB, I traded in Wii Play and Eledees, but they gave me an extra $10 off, so i got GH3 for $79.95.

2. Yes, you can just buy cheap Wii games and trade them in, but they need to be dirt cheap for it to be worth it. EB will accept any game, but not multiple copies, i.e. they need to be different games.

3. I like your idea of SMG for Christmas, might get mum to get the jb preorder deal with the guide! We'll have to wait till Chirstmas to play it but I have HEAPS of games to keep me occupied till then anyway.

4. Extra guitars are $80 on there own, so if you have deep pockets and heaps of mates that will play it with you then deffinetly. I think one of my mates is going to buy one just so he doesn't have to use the Wiimote when he comes round to play it!

1) I stand corrected, sorry. So you are able to trade in Wii Play and they take it as an actual game!? Well if that's true then I'll most likely get it.

2)Yeah, I know that, that's why I need to play the waiting game.

3) Yes the only thing with my mum is that were going down the cost over cchristmas day and stuff. So she might count that as our christmas present, which no offense is a tad cheapy. But we'll see.

4)I did have deep pockets but now they've ripped and all my money left me...somehow...I got alot of money just recently on the fact that I'm cool, but I don't really wanna spend it all.

IF you were to trade in Wii Play, which I got completely free with my Wii (bought from BigW day it came out, and lady though you got WiiPlay free, not WiiSports lol). And then pick up a traded in copy of say Kororinpa. You'd save money, but not much. Trade ins are always a way for them to make money, you are better of selling stuff on eBay.

[Diomedes]

Wow that EB poster is epic win.

Some of those JB deals look great, i do hope SMG is part of the 'trade two games in and get one for free" deal

[Ekiushi]

Lol! I didn't notice that with the EB poster. But it does look like the one I saw. I didn't give it a close inspection... After all, I was with mother, aunt and grandmother, so they wouldn't have really wanted to stop and look at video games.

[Eagles]

I've stepped up to medium in Guitar Hero, I'm loving this game.

[Deanis]

I'm still on easy. And it kinda annoys me that i really dont know many of the songs in it. If I knew them itd be a bit more fun....still loving it tho!

[cannon]

I will be getting SMG from JB Hifi, Im not gonna trade anything in i will just pay the $79.

[Fox]

Jeez $79?!
Ausies get screwed... Not fair...

[cannon]

Retail Price for all Wii games in aus is $99.95, and with the current exchange rate between here and the states, it's a load of bull crap!

Anyhoo, people with 360s, tell me your gamertag doodad so i can add you!

[Ekiushi]

We get screwed over for everything. The best example if the cost of Get Smart in Australia compared to America.
