Thanks to Ban25 at B3D. Anyone looking to add to their library of Games, DVD, CDs etc. might care to check this out:

http://www.towerrecords.com/Default.aspx

I bought Resistance and Fight Night round 3 for $45USD each, $12US shipping to Australia. In doing so I've saved about $90AUD if I were to buy these games locally (If Xbox360 and Wii are anything to go by, most new games will retail for $110AUD)

This sale will go on until January 22nd in the US, and will ship to most countries if anyone is interested.

You've got to edit that link, but it looks like it could be one of my resources to buy games at cheaper prices (http://www.towerrecords.com/Games/Default.aspx?platform=Playstation+3) :)

I don't have the time now, so could anyone look up the shipping expenses to Europe and/or Spain? +rep waiting for you when I come back.

I just want to know why games are sold with such a reduction a few month after their release ?? Is it because they don't sell a lot ? I hope not.

I feel quite tempted to buy a couple games from there right now as I'd be spending just 43 € on each game, shipping included, while I'd expect them to cost 65 or 70 € (based on 360 game prices) on local shops here. I'd be spending even less than that the more I buy. The only reason I'm not doing it now is because the European releases could include some extra or updated content, but I'll definately do it in the future as long as I don't want to get a game immediately or if I don't feel like paying such a high price for a game I'm not too hyped about. Gotta love region free gaming and featuring all languages on a single disc!

I'm far more concerned about the money I'll be spending in games than on the initial investment on the PS3.

I believe Tower (http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20061007/news_1b7tower.html) has been having a lot of liquidation sales because of Chapter 11 issues. Not sure if that's the case here.

I had no idea they were bankrupt. I thought they were going out of business from everyone Dling their shit from torrents and stuff.

They closed down all of their brick and mortar stores, then their assets were liquidated. They could have pulled a "Egghead", not sure if people remember that software store chain? They are now newegg.com, they went bankrupt and continued their life virtually.

As far as the prices go, they are good, but some are within $5 of the Amazon price, and i get free shipping there too.

Batou the problem with Amazon is they don't seem to export any video games out of US/Canada, only DVDs and such things.
