• <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)
