Washington Redskins Sold Brokers Tickets Despite Wait List - washingtonpost.com

You just KNOW this goes on in Toronto all the damn time. My dad has Leafs season tickets. We had amazing seats in the Gardens. We got screwed over in the move to the ACC. How do you go from front row grey at the visitor’s blue line to 7 rows from the back purple deep in the corner? Hell if I know. I’m sick of the whole thing.

<n> So I only just realised why Guitar Hero is so dominant here... because there's apparently only one version of Rock Band in Australia.
<n> Harmonix must hate money or something
<Jenn> I swear. If I ever move out there I'm keeping all my region consoles. I'll import.
<C> yahtzee always complains about game prices in australia
<Jenn> I heard games were significantly more expensive when compared to the USD/CAD.
<n> That's because they suck...
<N2> Yahtzee? COMPLAIN? No !
<n> That's true
<C> lol
<n> ie: batman is about $120..
<C> yikes
<n> the biggest annoyance for buying games here is when dev's figured they could price fix for the country over steam.
<n> Which is why when I first bought Fallout 3 is cost me $140.
<n> I got a refund pretty fucking quick
<Jenn> WTF
<Jenn> Would it maybe be cheaper to get one of our systems and import? Or do your customs fees suck as much as they do in Canada?
<BD> jesus
<n> not sure on customs fees.
<n> However I am very careful what I buy over steam now.. I'm trying to avoid any store that price fixes based on country.
<A> it costs money to ship the internets you
<n> Yes, they must air mail ones and zeros.
<C> hehe
<m> n: yeah game pricing there is fucked... hence, my buying games as 'gifts' for Z on impulse/steam
<n> Yeah exactly, and that will happen more and more.
<n> I remember paypalling UC cash to go get WoW for me when it first came out.
<m> yup
<m> seems to work out
<Eduardo_X> you guys are ruining gaming.
<Eduardo_X> gifts?
<Eduardo_X> that's just wrong.
<BD> what
<Eduardo_X> Australia needs the tax money.
<n> Now I know what happened to the other nine Eduardos.
* BD has kicked Eduardo_X from #qt3 (shut up)

My brother LOVES the comic Batman. I am starting to see why. I read through a bunch of Supergirl stuff from a few years ago. It was ok. Now it’s on to the Cassandra Cain Batgirl. This is something I’ve been curious to read for a while now.
