Out on Mar 10, but they're available for preorder now at the lowest price I've seen for AU stock.
Shipping appears to be free.
EBGames $68
GAME $59
JB Hifi $59 (incl case while stocks last)
Cheapest import (according to gamecafe)
estarland $41 shipped
BUT as uraha points out, this won't work on Aus DSI or 3DS (only DS and DSLite)
That version DOESN'T work with an AU DSi and above but would work with a DS lite
I received a 'fake' bluray disc from those guys :( (or if not a very bad copy of it)
Pokemon White/Black From $43.38

as mentioned above, good for aussie stock
Just thought I would let you know that it seems to be region locked for dsi and dsxl so be careful, safer to buy the Aus version if u ever intend to buy a newer ds later or on, old ds isnt region locked…

$42.99 delivered Aussie stock from the reliable Ozgameshop (ordered mine last week).

What makes you think it's Aussie stock? The pic looks like a UK cover, and all the other games on ozgameshop are UK. Is this a special once off thing for them? Maybe you should check?
I do like ozgameshop, I've bought some Wii stuff from them before, and that was def UK versions.
sorry didn't know - I'd ordered stuff for my son before and didn't notice … thanks for the correction!!!
… he has a DS as well as a DSi … so I guess he'd be ok in any case.
I've also ordered both 'Pokemon Black' and 'Pokemon White' from ozgameshop after cancelling the same order from AxelMusic.com (non-Australian stock).
I'm contacting the site now to see if these games ARE playable on Australian Nintendo DSi consoles. It is my understanding that they are since the UK and Australia use PAL systems.
Fingers crossed.
Yes they will work. Everything from ozgameshop works here including dlc codes (atleast for xbox)
From the reply email I received: "I can confirm that this will work on your console as this wouldn't be sold on this site. If this does not work on certain types of DS console then the listing would state otherwise."
So, yes, ozgameshop's 'Pokemon Black' and 'Pokemon White' WILL work on Australian Nintendo DSi consoles.
Though reliable, Ozgameshop is not aussie stock, its all from the UK.
Since it's been mentioned above that the game is region locked on the DSi and above, I gotta wonder if it also applies to the 3DS.
Haha, "EBGames $68" I wouldn't have expected anything else from the rip off that is EB. GO Big W, at least they keep things competitive :)!
Released Friday 4 March in UK, and Thursday 10 March in Australia.
Wonder how quick Ozgameshop will get it to our doors?
Just received an email: Its on the way.
"You should receive it within 4-12 days."
$42.99
:)
Our UK version arrived this morning from Ozgames to the delight of the 11 year old … only for big bruvver to take it for a friend's birthday present - as we located another one tonight at Big W for the $47 - they said they only had about 10 left an hour ago.
Still cheaper here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/39376
But for Aus stock it is a good price.
