As for the post:
110 dollars for a NEW video game is what you mean right? Buy second hand or wait a year and if you want to get in on the multiplayer, 110 dollars is a bargain compared to the many many hours you will spend being entertained. I've logged three days in uncharted 2 myself. Wicked game, very solid multiplayer.
New games are about 75 dollars in Denmark, but I buy second-hand or I wait for the price to drop. I plan to get Uncharted 3 when it comes out, but I won't pre-order because Naughty Dog screwed me with a bad product code on Uncharted 2 (the dreaded -00727) and ultimately I ended up with a useless disc that kept asking me to buy DLC which the store wouldn't sell me. Had to buy the platinum edition of Uncharted 2 to get it working properly and that silver crap-cover with the yellow bar pasted on the "box-art" is fugly.
I was doing some research for my IT A-level and found that nearly all the different aspects of entertainment in Australia cost at the minimum of 30% more i was thinking they must be shipping the buyer drugs as well as the game for these prices.
There is no VAT or other expenses only when ordering to Mainland Finland. But I'll PM it for you anyways as you asked for it.holy_secret said:
It seems like I could pre-order Dragon Age II for PC at 36.40 ?, postages and other expenses covered.
Well, you know, generally, living in the society means you need to undertake a job, and while I operated on some form of statistics, we all know statistical people do not exist. I understand you are 13, you don't have an income, but again "generally" speaking, you could get a job (paper round?), get your parents to buy a game for you or stick to free to play policy. I don't really promote piracy, but if you have to have something you don't desperately need such as a game, I guess you'll do so.Desert Warrior said:
Also, I'm sorry your mother steals your money. I wish you the best in the near future though.
So, getting Killzone 3 soon?JFuss said:It was very much a salt rubbing when the game turned out to be total arse and saved my pennies for ages to get that game tooDarkhill said:Wow... I feel your pain! Especially when they rub salt in the wound seeing as it now costs about $30. I got Killzone 2 plus my entire PS3 courtesy of Mr Rudd's $900 stimulus chequeJFuss said:
From Wikipedia: Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach in the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination, or "chewing the cud". The idiomatic expression chewing one's cud means meditating or pondering; similar expressions such as "he chewed that over for a bit", or "chew on that!" likely have the same derivation.Captain Placeholder said:

OT: Sucks to be Australia.
This thread bores me.
yeah its shit, if i see a game i like i wait a bit until it gets put in preowned or the price goes down. mostly both. thats the only real way i can keep my budget tight and its stupid coz after a few months the price on a game that was brand new can go down to like $50. only on very rare occasions ill pay full price for a brand new game. this on top of no R rating really gets on my nerves...
The U.S. apparently gets games cheaper than most countries. We're a huge market, and our people complain bitterly every time game prices rise (seriously, look around the Escapist forums a little and you'll see what I mean.) There was an example recently about the exact same version of the exact same game from the same printer costing something like a third more in Germany.
If it's any comfort, as the U.S. continues to screw up its credit situation, we'll probably be on more or less equal footing in the next decade or so. Assuming there's still a viable video game market by then...
Um, apparently I'm a little pessimistic today. Carry on.

The pricing on new release games in this country are ridiculous. That's why I never shop at EB Games, they have inflated prices because people will pay them, JB-HiFi are a little cheaper but typically for new release games I buy/order them from Dungeon Crawl http://www.dungeoncrawl.com.au. Their prices for new releases are around the $79.00 mark.
