can any of you guys recommend a place online to buy new release games on the cheap? i think DJI may have mentioned something ages ago.

looking for NFS hot pursuit for ps3 if it helps.

[lotek01]

i dunno, i mostly ebay games. if there's a better, more local option i'd want to know too. also after the same game (among many others)

www.play-asia.com

[lotek01]

sweet, forgot that site existed, can't rep thanks!

[swooc]

i've got a paypal question. paypal AU doesn't seem to have the confirm address feature. if a seller in the US does accept your unconfirmed address, do they still have full seller protection? this would apply to us as well if we want to accept payment from a country that also doesn't have the confirm address feature.

[Playahater]

^^^ Would like to know too, i'll give the Vans store here a call today.

i'm planning my travels way early for 2011 and plan to stay in sydney for a couple about a week and a half in the middle of august of next year. so where exactly are the chillest locations to stay?

also any recommendations on fairly priced hotels/hostels to stay at?

[Lilt]

Popeye melbourne is way more chill than sydney, sydney is mostly for tourists, there is nothing other than a bridge and some ugly opera house

[John Q. Citizen]

well correct me if I am wrong but if he is only staying for a couple of weeks doesn't that make him a tourist?

popeye; I'll try and post some suggestions re hotels later. either here or Sydney thread. too busy at the moment to think what with nye celebrations and all

Yeah, and Melbourne has that really attractive piece of architecture called federation square... You definitely want to check that beauty out.

[ben_253]

i live in sydney and i agree with this. however, we have better beaches.

[Daaave]

Come to Perth we have the best beaches.

And a bell tower

looking to print off a run of about 2000+ t-shirts with a logo that I will provide. preferably on gilden or AAA. anybody know websites that offer these bulk services? so far zazzle looks ok...

[conqueror]

myer just bought 65% of sass & bide for 42mil...wut? is this surpising or is it common knowledge it was going to happen (i am hardly an 'insider')?

[eversuns]

What! I work at Myer and didn't even know about this, Not that they would tell us plebs ahha

[wept]

if 65% is 42M then how much do S&B make?

I dont understand this world. The gap between comfortable and exorbitantly rich is just too grand to fathom or comprehend.

[Pandemonium]

^ ~65 mill gross for the company altogether.

that's pretty amazing/fucked.

[swooc]

i don't think their annual revenue would be that high. but the brand is probably quite valuable with a good return on investment to warrant such a high purchase amount.

[theorbb]

quick search on google has some sites mentioning annual revenue of 37 million per year. Apparently Myer has said that growth has been 50% for the past two years.

But as Swooc mentioned, most of its value may be due to the brand name itself.

[swooc]

37 mil? not too shabby. the figure i had in mind was mid 20s and that was being generous.

[Ivans On High]

Bwahahahaha

[conqueror]

yo du's, i just got this nathan smith linen bag today and i can't pull it off with the clothes i wear. brand new, hasn't left my house. paid $110 for it but will let it go for $85 including postage.

pm if you're interested (not my photos).

[wept]

Bwahahahaha

he looks different with hair. i know the answer is probably NO, but did the 'issue' ever get sorted out?

[jackg]

hi guys!

i have a question, i am currently looking at getting a blackberry, probably a bold, but am locked into a plan with 3 mobile for at least the next 8 months. The only way i could upgrade is to pay out my plan and then start a new plan.

is it possible to simply buy a blackberry from another source, unlock it, or buy it unlocked then upgrade my 3 plan to include data unsage?? anyone have any idea if that would be ok?

help would be greatly appreciated.

[home]

if you fail i have more creative ideas on how to simply get out of your contract.

but why blackberry? it's all about the _phone.

[home]

Bwahahahaha

and gone.

you really need some closure on this shit, don't ya, ivans.

[Ivans On High]

Yeah, me and about 10 other people who are still owed money. Things are pr0gressing though. Twitter accounts certainly help too. Especially with pics like that.

If I had know he needed the money to get a Justin Bieber hair cut I would have just given it to him.
