I made an account and set it all up in the cart, all seems okay.
But I have never ordered from there before?
Only thing is apparently EB games are getting this game, they are already taking names instore for it, but no pre-order listing yet or pricing and I am worried they may not have the book (which i want).
I guess the US edition should be fine on Aus PS3? Might bite the bullet and order from Gamestop what you think?

I've only successfully ordered from Gamestop.US once before.
Unfortunately you need to go through a checking process for first time orders.
They'll request a copy of your Credit Card [only] statement and fax it to them when you receive an email. I didn't bother with that as I didn't have a credit card.
What I did was I obtained a Digital Gamestop Girft Card [can be order through their online site for faster turn around] via a member from here residing in the US. So all I did was redeem the "gift voucher" upon checkout on my order.
Although it cost me $30+ for shipping, it was deliver by express courier. Their packaging quality was adequate and arrived unharmed.
As for the game releasing in Australia, of course it'll be available here though not yet announced. It should be available at all leading gaming stores, but yeah, a pre-order bonus [the art book in particular] is questionable and we won't know until after the game is officially listed on any gaming online stores.
So if you do pre-order it at Gamestop, just check to see if you're able to cancel your order prior to release in the US, though you'll still have credit to your account that can't be exchanged, only used.
And if the book does come here, then it's a risk you'll have to be will to take and pay a bit more for with our prices. And yes, PS3 will definitely be playable on your PS3 though the DLC [if any] can only be purchase on a US PSN [and that's another story
].
