3DS things

Still in Malaysia. Still melting. Will probably write lots of holiday stuff later.

For those hanging on to Australia 3DS news, it's going to be AUS$349.95, available on the 31st of March. The poor kiwis have to pay NZ$453.00. If you're in WA, apparently you can try it out on the 25-26 Feb at Carousel from 9am-5pm. Don't know anything for the other states, sorry. However, you can try your hand at winning one.

:S Actually, with Devil Survivor, I might be getting that confused with what I saw at GameTraders - I know they definitely had both new and used copies, but then, they import a lot of DS and PSP titles so I might have been looking at NTSC versions. (GameTraders stores are a bit thin on the ground these days though :(.) Ghost Trick is definitely out, though! (And is awesome). Maybe it's sold out? I was talking to a clerk at EB, and apparently a lot of stores underestimated the demand and only got in one or two copies.

Big W is awesome for savings, definitely. Sometimes you get lucky and they'll have stocked some of the more eclectic titles, don't give up! Most of the Big Ws here have a better range than EB these days. KMart has a surprisingly good selection too, their standard prices are a bit closer to EB-level highway robbery, but when they have sales you can get some really good bargains.

...Buying games in Australia is almost as much of a sport as playing them sometimes I swear.
