Shop local!
If they match prices I will, but price gouging in this country is out of control.

Doesn't help that we have fucked up duty tax laws, high minimum wages, independent wholesalers/distributors and a small market place (being made smaller by people shopping overseas).
embarrassing question to ask - how do you burn an .avi file that i have d/l'd on to dvd. keep trying but it won't allow it. do i need to convert the .avi file to something before burning?

to the photoshop users. Have you found when you have too many connection points using the magnectic laso tool that it will not copy the image? How do you get around it?

Not sure if here is the right place but meh here goes.
Has anyone reported something to google before about updating listings that show up when you search for something.
Basically when you google the new company I work for only the surry hills store shows up, so I clicked the thingy that says "is this accurate?" and there was a selection for "this place has another listing" I think that was the right one and basically just typed in there there are 2 locations for this store gave the details of the Heidelberg Heights store and stated they were both apart of the one company just 2 locations.
So has anyone done this previously? How long does it usually take? if it works at all?

might go back to whoever has ownership of the "google place" page you're talking about. someone would have submitted it using a google account, would need to go to them. if they arent there any longer there would be steps to take ownership of the page so you can update it.
google would not do it for you i imagine. that would be an immense job.

Crysis 2 FTW.
Ive been sick as a dog the last week, so i've spent a bit of time with this game on xbox. It's pretty fucking awesome. The campaign starts off slowly, but builds and builds quite subtly. Before you know it, it's just fucking chaos on the streets of NY. It looks stunning, and you do have to think a bit about how to approch most situations. Very rarely can you run into a battle all guns blazing and survive.
Multiplayer is good fun too, but not fantastic. I've still enjoyed it more than most MP shooters though. Hit detection is a bit off, but there's far less opportunites for camping, and there's plenty of maps.
Only real gripe is the lack of weapons. There aren't too many, and I found myself mainly using the same guns. They could have done a lot more with the weapon and suit customisation too. Not a huge drawback though.

I read on Gamespot that the AI in Crysis 2 is a bit shit. Does that affect the gameplay that much?

It's not bad, but could be better. Even on the hardest difficulty it's pretty easy, but only made so because of stealthing. You can actually run past about 80% of battles.

Just as a headsup, Dungeon Crawl on Elizabeth St will be flogging Crysis 2 for $43 tomorrow. Out of stock today.
