--- Quote from: Tom on 08 Oct 2010, 15:27 ---In America your average console game is what, 60 USD? That's the equivalent of 61 AUD at the moment (apart from that abysmal point this year we've been chasing you guys for parity) yet we pay 110 AUD for a new release game.
The best option available is to purchase through web only stores like 356games and cdwow where you can get each for 60-75 AUD. With those kind of discounts around you just can't rationalise pre-order bonuses. The big game stores can kid themselves all they want that this encourages sales but it's prices like these that kill their business.
Besides, the money you save on each game can go towards getting another game or DLC for the same game. Either of which would be more fulfilling than a special hat and a shotgun or whatever.

CDWOW was the one where I bought. The company is based in Australia, isn't it? Anyway, someone recently pointed it out to me as a place to buy games for cheap. Before this I looked for whichever currency cost me the least, which included Direct2Drive, Amazon and Play.com, all of which charge me in GBP which is still very profitable when exchanged for euros. Actually, now that I look at some of these prices, I'm paying the same at CDWOW as I am at Play.com, even though Play.com gives a pre-order bonus. 365games, however, is only a few pounds cheaper. I'll need to take another look at this...

Have they given a list of the Traits yet? I'm definitely taking Wild Wasteland but I'm curious as to what the others are.
KvP:
They go through all the traits onscreen during the "New Features" segment. Here's what I could see:

Fast Shot - Rate of Fire increased by 20% with guns and energy weapons, accuracy reduced by 20%.
Four Eyes - +1 PE while wearing glasses, -1 PE when not.
Good Natured - +5 to Barter / Speech / Medicine / Repair / Science, -5 to Energy Weapons (description cuts off there but presumably will include) / Guns / Explosives / Unarmed / Melee.
Heavy Handed - Non-critical melee and unarmed attacks do more damage, but critical bonuses are smaller.
Kamikaze - +10 AP, -2 Damage Threshold
Loose Cannon - +30% Thrown weapon RoF, -15% Thrown weapon distance
Small Frame - +1 AG, increased susceptibility to crippled limbs
