I read a post a few days back from someone saying he was pleased he only
rented Lylat Wars here in Australia, as he had it finnished in 3
hours......

It's just dawned on me - where did he rent from? As far as I know, you
can't rent Nintendo games here.

Can anyone who knows mail me please??

Ta \,

Nick.

Here in Brisbane it's hard to find a video shop that isn't renting them out.
If you've access to a Blockbuster then they'll almost definately be carrying
them.

As far as I know they've only just started renting them out here in
Sydney. A few weeks ago I couldn't find them anywhere, now they're
everywhere. Nintendo Aus is pretty weird....

While we're at it, when is Nintendo Australia going to release a
decent assortment of games. And why have there been two HUGE price

cuts ($400-$199) in a matter of months? I suspect the N64 hasn't been
selling too well down here..
