    Might be a bit late for shipping something from here to Aus. My suggestions would be to buy him a digital Australian region psn voucher or to buy the game from an Australian website like www.jbhifi.com.au or similar and have it shipped to your brothers address.

    id order it on something like EB games AUS and ship it to your brothers address. He'd defiantly get it and just send it an email letting him know it's coming. :) Amazon AUS might be better again because you can have it gift wrapped and add your own message. Be a nice wee surprise for him! And cos it's wrapped it's not just coming in a bubble envelope.

    The only thing you can have giftwrapped from Amazon Australia is a Fire/Kindle device, since that is the only physical object they sell. Everything else they sell is digital - apps and content for Kindles and android devices, and Audible audio content. That's it.

    Yup for a 1st world country trying to buy anything online is a freaking mare here. I miss Amazon so much :(

    On the other hand products bought online outside of the country for less than $1,000 aren't subject to GST (VAT) when they get shipped here but I digress.

    To the OP EB Games or I guess JB HIFI is the best way to go if you want him to receive a physical copy although I hope you don't run into any issues with using an overseas card and IP address trying to deliver to an Australian address..
