Hi all
Yet another Australian fan registering his unhappiness with the way that Australian games are so over priced. EB games I'm afraid are really overpriced as it is. Its sad that Australian games have got so over priced. I've been looking forward to Shogun 2 for a long time, then I find its gong to be 100+ dollars. It hurts alot but I'm saying next. Hopefully ozgameshop someone recommended is as good as it is with other games. I'm amazed that Civ V is so cheap on it.

However the Aussie dollar was falling against the US dollar -- so we were able to put all our prices on electrical goods UP by 10% (even though we were importing them cheaper) and blamed the government and the "bad Aussie dollar" for the price hike.

We made a fortune for a while.

Good old Gerry Harvey, always doing the right thing by us Aussies, I refuse to buy anything of that tosser.

I used to go to either EB or JB-HiFi when it came to buying my games. But recently I've jumped on the STEAM bandwagon. I just got Dead Space 2 for $20 less than what it cost at EB or JB.

But I think for the collectors edition of CoD I'll go back to JB, unless I can get it from Amazon.

just type the name in and up it comes up no sweat. Only slight problem is that it comes out on the 22 march. from memory the release date the 3rd i think?

That version only ships to the US, if you read the small print.
