    yeah… I can't think of anymore myself…. Just thought someone might have a favourite store that I might have missed :)

  Wow, thats a comprehensive list!
  Just a thought, it might be worth talking to the mods about including a games category to the wiki which includes your list (then it is easy for people to find and update).
  I do see your site is already here (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/list_of_price_comparison_si…) but more people might find it if it was in a dedicated games category.

    That would be a good idea… would help people find those games! Are we able to simply add categories ourselves to the wiki, or do we need special permissions from the mod?

  Hi AndrewK

  Do you plan to run it similar to booko.com.au

  Say if I am looking for a game on your website, it would compare the prices and provide links to the stores.

  Cheers.

  Since your site lists shops that ship to Oz the Aussie flag seems redundant. What about a flag for where the shop is based? You could also list the 60 stores [as you already do] along with a rating and such things as game regions, import copies and shipping times along with customer experiences, although this may apply more per game than shop.
  Good site, Cheers.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    At one stage we did use UK and US flags to represent the country of origin, but that seemed to confuse some people who thought the game didn't ship to Australia…

    We have also considered adding a forum, or a ranking system against each of the stores. Just haven't really got around to it yet :)

  Good site.
  Very accurate and up-to-date.

  I would like to see a maximum price/ceiling price for a game.
  I know that EB and others had Sims 3 for sub-$50 recently.
  Now EB have it for $98- which is a rip-off.
  Maybe something to tell people what the cheapest price was (dated of course) so you can figure out if the current cheapest option is better than a previous sale.

  I know that I've bought games that I thought were a "good buy" compared to when they were first released only to find out that the prices keep on going down and down.

  Game should get cheaper as time goes by not more expensive.
  Hate it how some of the series games are cheaper for the latest release and the 4-5 year old game can be more expensive.

    +1 from me. awesome (even tho I steer clear of games these days.. they are my worst addiction).

  I think you forgot one:

  dvd.co.uk (it is essentially the same as base.com, but then again Zavvi and The Hut are the same too…)

  I was adding sites I found to my bookmarks bar, always thinking why someone hasn't made a comparison site. What gamecafe has done is amazing! I can get rid of the long list and have gamecafe as my go to. Thanks heaps!

  how about http://www.bigw.com.au/?
  i noticed you have http://www.bigwentertainment.com.au/ but the prices seems to be different?
  and bigw.com.au seem to have some good prices lately with free shipping.

  i could've sworn i did a search before and it sent me to bigw.com.au but i may be mistaken.

    bigwentertainment has closed. bigw.com.au has been added

  How does it handle region restricted games? (If at all)
  E.g. Starcraft 2 (SEA, EU, US, etc)

  famekiller on 06/02/2013 - 09:15

  I always get my games cheap from www.ausgamez.com

  I couldn't see them on your list and they are UK based.

    famekiller on 06/02/2013 - 09:16

    and their prices are in Aus dollars too!
