Australia The Hunger Games 17/08/2012

Not sure if I'm allowed to create this thread considering the amount of HG threads already out, but I wanted to make one for the Australian buyers.

Which edition are you getting, from where and how much?

I'm planning on getting the 4 disc deluxe (because the only version we seem to be getting are the normal and deluxe ones) from either JB Hifi or Big W which are listing them as $30. Just afraid on how long shipping will be, though.

I am getting the 2 Futurshop steelbooks

But if I were buying locally, Big W seem to be the cheapest advertised price so far....

The deluxe 4 disc set can be had for a mere $29.84

I got mine from Sanity in hopes that I'll get it early like some previous pre-orders from them... however, it hasn't shipped yet so that idea might be out the window haha.

I notice if you pre-order instore at JB you get a Mocking Jay necklace... they are also selling the 4 disc BD for $29.95

Roadshow have put a pretty strict street date on this, whilst I am sure someone will break it, most places probably won't put it out until Friday.

Not sure... lots of speculation and nobody seems to have received it yet. My suppliers have got the normal double play so I can confirm the cover art looks like this:



But at this stage no sign of the deluxe edition I am hopeful for a digipak.

Anyone here that works at JB got their stock yet?

I made a last minute pre-order today in the hopes of getting the Mockingjay pendant for the wife. Anyone else primed to get the pendant?

Where does it say they're giving a Mockingjay pendant? Is it limited edition or something that can be purchased separately?

Was planning on pre-ordering but it probably won't come until next week and I want it on Friday asap so I'm probably gonna go instore JB Hifi or Big W (both are 29.84) and buy it. Fingers crossed it won't be sold out.

Edit: Oops forgot to mention JB is probably the only store that sells for 29.84 instore, Big W is almost 50 if you buy instore

Not sure if it is online, but my local JB has a sign at the counter with one of the pendants wrapped around it.

I did see it online about a week or so ago but it seems to have been taken down.

Don't forget Target. They're plugging the books a fair bit, so they'll definitely carry this.

Target / Big W / JB tend to wrestle with each other for the lowest price. There's a shopping centre nearby with all 3 under the roof, and I've seen them do this a fair bit, unless it's a store-exclusive.

I decided to double dip on this film. I have the steelbook ordered from HMV and the 4-disc set from Sanity.
