The price round ups for Mario Kart Wii, WiiFit and GTA IV have been extremely successful. They are pulling in great numbers of visitors and we are also on the first page in Google Australia searches for "gta iv price". I have decided to increase the number of these, not just to increase visitors but because practically every other site has decided to do round ups of their own (we need to show them whos the boss of bargains here!).

Unfortunately, due to my cheap ass nature I dont know all the big games and when they come out. I dont track PC, PSP, PS3 games either. This thread is for suggesting high profile games across all platforms, including the likes of PSP and PC, that we can do round ups for.

So, any suggestions on what to do in the next couple of weeks?

I would say that we have been spoilt in the last couple of weeks with some REALLY high profile games coming out. I think there is a bit of a wait now for something of substance.

The PS3 has Haze coming out this month, but the big one is Metal Gear Solid 4 - but not until next month.

For the Wii - Boom Blox came out yesterday and I think it has gone totally under the radar - not even being advertised, but it is getting great reviews.

[Edit: sorry JB HiFi has it for $64 - which is an excellent price]

Yeah I'd say MGS4 would be one to watch when it comes along.
Sadly I can't think of any other big releases coming soon though...

Im not after big releases though. They will be done regardless. Haze is a perfect example, I had no idea that was coming out and that PS3 owners will be watching it. Ill be doing a round-up for that.

It is important for me/us to know what games people are after and not just the ones we are personally after.

Ninja gaiden and Battlefield bad company are two other big games coming soon.

I personally don't really think you need a price roundup for every game though. 99% of the time Big W or JB hifi have the best local price on new releases this gen.

One thing I'd definitely find useful (and that might mean others will too) would be a roundup of the best prices for the PS3 + MGS4 package.

Maybe Spore? I hear that is going to be really good, and it seems very popular.

Maybe if theres time, how about roundups for Star Wars: The Forced Unleased

But Spore should be a good one, don't forget about the DS game (Spore Creatures) and I'm pretty sure there is an iPhone game being released on the same day, but I guess you can't do a price roundup for a game only available via Apple.
