When Are You Gonna Buy NBA 2K12?

Good deal. I must admit I'm regretting not pre-ordering somewhat, though in previous years it hasn't been an issue. Ah well, win some, lose some. Friday it is.

Don't know whether I'll get them though, but we shall see. You'll still end up getting game before me. I'm predicting you'll source a copy of the game from EB tomorrow

Enquiries today point to Friday at the earliest. So be it, it gives me an opportunity to spend time with NBA Jam: On Fire Edition to level up and write up a review.

Hope you have tried again today since it appears JB and EB have released today (according to Oz & Brisbane guys over at Operation Sports forums).

Unfortunately mine wasn't in the post today, am hoping for tomorrow so I can play on weekend. If not will happy to wait until Monday. It all comes down to Australia Post & how quick they can process something that was sent out yesterday lunch time.

I'll check it out, thanks.

Pre-ordered mine for XBox 360 this morning. Will probably take a while to get to my place in the mail but worth it to get the codes for the Kings and Warriors.

The X - who did you order through? I went with JB

I'm pre-ordering through NZ website Mighty Ape, since it's about $25 cheaper than EB (& $15 cheaper than JB HiFi). Hopefully I have by Friday, but if not will likely be by Monday. No biggie.

If you or any other Brisbanites want it early, check out EB Brisbane City Myer Centre. I got it there 2 days early last year & word has it that they have it in stock out back, so there might be a chance of getting it tomorrow, maybe Thursday at latest. That store has a habit of breaking street dates unless they've been explicitally told not to, which with an American basketball title is unlikely.

Since I'm not at work the next two days, I won't be able to pick it up & cancel my pre-order, but all good, a lot to do on weekend.

Yeah cancelled my order with JB and went with a site called www.cdwow.com.au and getting the game for $69 and free shipping.

Might take a bit longer but worth it plus I'm busy with exams anyways!

Cool, mine cost $69 as well but postage is about $5, so $74.

Yeah, I've used these guys before. They were good with delivery but pre-order might be a bit longer. But you get what you pay for.

Picked it up at JB this arvo for $69. $70 everywhere else, though it was $49.95 at EB last year.

Will get it as soon as i can find somewhere to buy the PC version for under $30
Can only see it on Steam to buy an Because im an aussie they want to rip me off an charge $50 even though our dollar is almost = to the US$.

Only other place i saw it (download) was on amazon.com but they dont allow Paypal.

So if anyone knows where i can download an pay for it on PC without being ripped off can u let me know.
Almost makes me tempted to get it the illegal way since its so hard for me to get without being shafted.
Dont tell me steam im in Australia so they change the price to what we normally pay in stores here for games.

Steam is actually $20 cheaper than Aussie retail price (as I said I paid $69 at JB Hi-Fi this afternoon) but yeah, it's a shame it's not available for $30.

Depending on how long you can wait for it, you could source it from the UK:

I'm not sure any digital distributor is going to do better than Steam but if someone comes across one, hopefully they'll be able to give you a heads up.

We get so ripped off here on games
Thx for the link didnt even think about ebay.

I got 2k11 from xfire last year for $19.99us which was about $22aus at the time.

But only seen it on steam, direct2drive an xfire store dont even have it mentioned as coming soon
will try an wait abit longer for other digital distributor otherwise might have to try ebay an hope i dont get shafted with something that wont work online.

We absolutely do get ripped off, considering the exchange rate we can't be blamed for looking to the US or UK (if we need a PAL copy for 360) and importing games. The wait is a pain, but the savings make up for it.

well in the end i couldn't wait another week till pay day, so I bit the bullet and borrowed the money to get it early. Wish I'd have done so sooner as it won't arrive till the weekend at the earliest. Cost me £36.85 from Shopto.net to "pre-order" so should hopefully arrive saturday going by their usual delivery times. I'm getting major hyped now

thinking bout sending it straight back....main reason why i bought it, is the online play. my hopewas, that they improve online, since it was not very good in 2k11. but theyve done sth i did not expect...online is even worse now -.-

Is this the PC version?

if Xbox... lucky I didn't get it from them!

Yes, PC version.

JB Hi Fi dropped their price to $79 for PS3/Xbox 360. I wish I had bought from them pre-order since it's looking like I won't have game before weekend.

I won't have the game for a while. I'm not complaining though.

I've just been playing 2k11 with some historic rosters and having fun with that. Can't wait for the real deal.

at amazon a download verison for my PC (one of them doesnt have a CD)
beacuse it is chip 24$ and it is also the good US version and not the EU version that will come to israel...that is going to cost about 54$ or more

Still waiting for my game They shipped it midday Wednesday. Damn Australia Post sucks. I'm never pre-ordering anything online again. Pay the extra $20 & get from store.

Hopefully it arrives tomorrow

My XBox 360 version (for $69) was dispatched yesterday. Expecting to get it by Friday (I hope!)

I hope you get by weekend. I better get it by then since it was dispatched 6 days ago. If it's not there by Thursday then they'll hear it from me.

I'm wondering if my copy has ended up in somebody else's hands since I've seen instances of them putting stuff in the wrong PO Boxes.

With lockout started & now 2K12 delay, I'm getting a bit despondent with the NBA & 2K12 already

I'm not in a rush to get it. But I do understand your concerns about the wrong post box thing. I get paranoid too because Australia Post is special.

Still not there yet. They sent a week ago. I've sent them a message re status & also said I need to have by Friday or I'll have to buy another copy. Of course I can't really do that since my credit card was already charged for other game. Maybe I'll just buy from EB and then return when my copy arrives & use funds for FIFA. Hopefully doesn't come to that though.
