for starters, we always have higher prices for everything, comes with being the furtherest away from everyone else for starters.

also, if you were smart and patient you can get your stuff from elsewhere and save money. i got MW2 from ebay, from a seller i always use and trust. cost me $68, shipped to my door, got here yesterday. he takes exactly one week to ship, every time.

i cant help but let the patriot in me out and get pissed off at other Aussies who seem to want to bag our own country in a bad situation rather than simply try things to get around the bad stuff or even fix it. most of the time its never hard.

Whats the big deal? A bunch of people have already said that MW2 is 60€ = 90$ in Europe. Its not like just you guys are getting ripped off, everyone is.

400 euros = Windows 7 Ultimate. Often games have identical pricing from a numerical value point of view. 60 $ in the US is 60 euros in Europe. Unfortunately, the currency difference makes them gain gazillions. If 60 dollars were priced accordingly then things would change. Not our fault the dollar sucks and that taxes are different .
