Has anyone had any luck picking one up or seen it on the shelves at KMart or something?

EB are being pretty useless on this issue. They've said it comes if you preorder it, but we won't get it until the full version is out *if* they happen to get any copies of it at all.

Considering it doesn't go on sale til tomorrow, I doubt anyone has had any luck picking one up anywhere. But I believe that EBgames was the only retailer Alex listed as carrying the bonus pack in Australia, but you should check his list again. And they have Kmart in Australia? strange......

It's already the 15th here, Knightsaber. Or is it meant to be out on the 16th in Aus?

Oh, lol, those crazy time zones. Well as far as I've heard only EBgames is carrying it and if they say you don't get the bonus pack til the retail version comes in, well they're jerks but not much you can do about it. Maybe try calling a different EBgames unless you don't feel like driving that far.

I got the same reply from EB in Adelaide, 1 store in Modbury told me we get it free today, but it's not in yet (The store clerk is a GW fan). EB in Elizabeth keeps telling me that we only get the BP with the CE on the 26th October (he is not a GW fan BTW). Both stores have no BP in the shop computer as it was removed 2 days ago so not sure what is going on. EB seems to have a lot of confusion in South Australia.

EB in New Zealand are supposed to get them too, in fact, they have posters up stating the fact - but the staff have no idea what it is, so much so that I had to point out the poster clearly illustrating the fact that I'm supposed to get one of these packs.

Will roll by again today and see if they've been enlightened with information somehow.

We have the posters up here in Perth, too, which is why I was a little confused by their 'oh you'll get one if we get them in'.

Modbury EB: No BP in and no idea if one will come in
Salisbury EB: No BP in and no idea if one will come in,

Queensland people are being toldthat advertising material was removed to prevent confusion.
They will offer the BP 10 days before the release date IF they get them in.

And I was lucky enough to get a local Store manager to sign an oath of sorts, saying that I pre-oreded the CE and will still get a BP. Even if the CE isn't release the same day as SE (standard edition).

Alex not liking what I'm hearing from Aussie players. (I'm still hopeful... somewhat)

hehe... we also have kangaroos jumping down the dusty main streets of our capital cities

now on topic, i preordered last week and the guys at EB games (and just phoned them then) the guy said they have no idea for the BP release date in Oz, but they contact preorderers via phone when it is instore.

So definitely not 15th for us, but hey we represent such a minute fraction of the market that we are probably not that high on the agenda when it comes to meeting advertised release dates.

No luck in Sydney city either, and I have two copies of the CE on pre-order.

Perhaps I asked the wrong sale attendant

Whereabouts in ausland are you Christie if you dont mind me asking?

FYI everyone, I rang my EB Games store [Queens Plaza, Brisbane City] just then and the employee [a GW fan =P] told me they should be receiving the Pre-Realease Packs in around 5 days.

I just came back from EB in Wollongong(shellharbour) and all I got was a dumb and confused look from the staff when i ask about the pack.They were willing to pre order the full game for me which I had already done.
