It's Out in Australia!!

[vladdo]

Yeap.. $90 for a game.. thats about the usual price...

Tho Australia is going through a bit of a revelation in recent times, notably a number of high profit business people are crying poor about the number of people importing from the US/UK.. But then, you'd be an idiot to ever pay AU retail prices anyway..

I just turned on my phone (it'd run out of batteries this morning) and there were three messages from EB Games in Karrinyup! My Collectors edition was ready to pick up!!!!!!!!

Karrinyup? Wheres that? Sounds like a place without wheelchair access.

Yep! As of today $1.00 US = $1.03 AU. The game retails for about $40-50 US so why is EB Games screwing the Aussie flight communiy by charging $90-108 AU? See http://www.ebgames.com.au/search?title=cliffs+of+dover

from Wikipedia

"The name Karrinyup was originally derived from the word Careniup, a Noongar name for a nearby swamp which apparently means "the place where bush kangaroos graze". "

The translation I heard was "Place of Bullrushes"!

Yes it's true! I live in a swamp! Which isn't too bad because a near-by suburb is called Innaloo, which is almost but not as bad as living in "Upper Swan"

Cheers!

Amazing.

I was in CBD all day, and didn't go in to one EB- normally I go in just to get depressed by the shrinking PC section.

Could have had my own Golden Ticket moment

When people from there are asked where they live do they reply "Innaloo"?

The actual joke that does the rounds is "Where would you rather live? Innaloo or Up-a Swan?"

cheers!

I went to two game shops (in Sweden) today. Neither of them had heard of CoD, though one shop found out they would be getting it in on Thursday. I was pretty sure they wouldn't have a clue about it, as with any Flight sim. I was a bit shocked that one would have on the shelf though, and so soon!

I was there out of curiosity.

My game won't be shipped from German Amazon until the week after it is on shelves here
