Hiya ozziesailor :)

Where did you buy your game from?

If you licence key is invalid, they are obliged to offer a replacement :)

That is the problem then.

Is it in the original case?  If it's a download version, it is likely that he gave it to others too, this will make the licence key invalid.  The only solution in this case would be to buy your own version, you won't have any licence key problems with that :)

I believe so, yes :)

I don't really know any Australian Retail stores though, so you may want to run a search on Google, just to check for availability ;)

Unfortunately I don't know any stores there, like I say ;)

Maybe you should ask them for some information on when they may have it in stock ;)
