  Hi guys :) Some people are having trouble with the code…Is the code working for everyone else?

    Fixed! Everything is working perfectly now, thanks to the buyers who allowed customer service to co-browse to identify and fix the issue.

  It's unfortunate that the company did not release the patch for the Australian release like they did with the UK/US versions. :(

  I highly recommend people to avoid the AU version and get either the UK or US release:

    Interesting. I just did a quick archive search, and we've never had a buyer mention it even once. Someone on the forum in your post said: "I suggest you start up ZoE2 and see if the Hexadrive logo pops up. I have the AU digital release and have had the patch for a while now. Maybe they prepatched the game?". I cannot verify this easily, but it may be the reason why nobody has complained about the Aussie version from us, or other sellers we supply to.

      The digital version is different compared to this physical release that you are offering.

      I own both the UK and AU physical releases on the PS3 and can confirm that the AU version does not get the patch nor does it contain the on disc Metal Gear Rising demo like it's UK/US counterparts.

    Darn. And considering I tried so hard recently to find an EB with it. Thankfully it was $16 or $23 or something, but still, a waste of money.

      If you're still looking to buy this game, I'd highly recommend that you get either the UK or US release.

      The cheapest I could find is from Dungeon Crawl for $24.91 with Free Shipping:

        It should be the physical version. I'll give Dungeon Crawl a call tomorrow to make sure and will post a reply here once I do.

        If you cannot wait, Zoohouse on eBay has it for a dollar more:

        Thanks for that.

        Seeing you own both the AU and UK version, will the UK version automatically get patched with my AU PSN account?

        No problems. Yes, the UK version will automatically get patched with your AU PSN account.

  Aus version,and the fact it is different to the UK and US version is what makes it collectable to some, especially those who only like to collect the PAL Aus version and not the UK. But thx for the above info very interesting. I would still be recommending that for collectors this is a great buy. Thx sellingoutsoon

    Yes, true. And thank you for saying that. I thought of the same thing before we eve posted this deal, but it's better coming from a customer than from me :) and you're completely right. Frankly I was thinking of buying some of these for myself, not to play of course, but to keep for a rainy day. The only reason I didn't is because the deal is for OzBargainers, not as a perk for staff! But collecting is, I think, an acquired taste to be valued even above playing. May not feel like it though, until you have over 1000 games or so, and then you can swim in them, like a madman. Do it for your country. It's also nice to have a truly limited release, and wise collectors realise this, quite often making good money on the back end, another great reason to get into collecting.

      This game (particularly the AU release) is no rule of rose and therefore isn't worth much on the secondhand market.

      At most you could expect ~$5 after shipping, eBay and PayPal fees, possibly even less.

      Unless you strictly want the cover jacket with the AUS rating logo instead of the UK PEGI logo there is no other reason to buy the AU version.

        I think you've just correctly pointed out the nature of what some of the fussier collectors find valuable. The price is less accurate/relevant (because recently, many used ones have sold for quadruple what you've said, not just on ebay of course) but collecting is a long term strategy. Collectors know this. That's part of what made the Aussie Star Ocean on PSP (day one release only, of course) such an interesting piece.

    I do respect your comment as a player (and I always appreciate the same courtesy back) however not everyone has the same experience. Quite often (and I'm not arguing with you) it's the differences that make the game interesting, and/or valuable to a true collector. Not the gameplay ones, as much as other attributes such as slick, homologation, rarity etc. I should know…I've been dealing with these guys for 20 years :) and they usually buy more for collectability than gameplay. But we're here to serve, so whatever you're into (mostly) that's cool :)

      not everyone has the same experience.

      The original unpatched version plays at 720p and drops down to 20fps in fight scenes. The patched version plays at 1080p and runs at a steady 60fps.

      Comparison video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2dvhoBbqw8

      it's the differences that make the game interesting

      Slowdowns, laggy gameplay and reduced resolution aren't exactly 'interesting'.

        Hello Orpheus :) I may have mentioned this earlier, our archives show nobody even mentioning it, from either our direct customers, or buyers from our wholesale customers. And I'm not arguing. I generally don't get involved in questions of gameplay, because it doesn't have much to do with what I am involved with. But most importantly, I actually wasn't talking about gameplay:

        Wow the difference is beyond belief. By the end of the video they were out of sync by a fair amount just due to the slow-downs occurring on the un-patched version.

        Given the digital availability of this game, I would seriously doubt this will ever fetch more than about $50 AUD, given that game-play oddities are far less important than physical differences in versions (covers/steelbook etc).
