GBP40 is the same as EUR60 or AUD99... (+- 1 Euro)

Zuh?  Most GC first-party games are $99.  I don't know where they are generally $80.

Yeah. I've never seen a GC first party game for $80, they're either $99 or $50 if they're Players Choice. *confused look at Aussie Ben*

And eh, i'm used to it. I payed $110 for Timesplitters 2, Resident Evil, Resident Evil Zero.. and probably others, and $100 for pretty much every other game i've ever bought.

Mario, if I were you I'd pick a new hobby. Actually that goes for all you Aussies In comparison how much does a CD or DVD cost in Australia?

[Drunk Fly]

Between $20 and $35 Australian depending on what it is.

That's a bit more expensive than Americans pay for CD's, but CD prices are high everywhere. Hence piracy's huge popularity. When is the music industry going to learn that the reason people don't buy CD's is because they're too expensive. Raising prices to "recoup" their "losses" from piracy will only propogate the problem. At least CD prices have come down in recent times.

Eh, this is nothing new. Its been like this since the N64 came out (I didn't buy games for the SNES, so I can't remember what they were like back then) and we're all still alive, albeit grumpy.

*points to other things that make Australia awesome, like and women *

They should at least lower console games to the prices of PC games, though.
