I can run BF3/4 at native res on low so CS should be no issue.

No way, it's all Sydney/Melbourne, rest of Australia hardly exists :(

 

Lucky... It'd cost ~$1200 each for me and a friend to go + spending money for only 4 days, just too much

Well, we got a group of 5 and we're looking at around 5k for just accommodation. and we've got guys coming from NZ, and maybe Scotland/Canada.

So yeah we got an idea on costs :P

You probably already know, but there are some decent deals on accommodation they've got going.
