Having a warehouse in the middle of nowhere and running a homepage has quite a different cost structure compared to a local shop with employees in the business district of your town.
You can never - ever compete with online prices.
Your local software shop's prices have to be higher than than the ones of the eshops, and you have find a way to justify them; service f.i..
How many computer shops with a real world shop where in your area 10years ago, how many today?

Sure trying to tax esales is cheap(and wrong), still you have to understand their position - in the end the consumer loses too, as there won't be any local shops left.

Most games sold over here are multi language(they just dont mention the language option on the cover).
