TLDR
we dont care .

who cares faggot thats the price of living on a fucking desert island away from everyone

.

Its what you get for having a bunch of inmates and abbos for ancestors. Move to a real country and shut down your shitty penal colony.

At school (in aus) we were always taught that it was both an island, a continent and a country for some reason... Like the biggest island and the smallest continent and the only country that is also a continent

I'm European, but I can sympathise totally. While I believe in supporting developers, I believe in not getting ripped off more.

OK WHICH FAGGOT ECONOMIST DECIDED IT WOULD BE A COOL IDEA TO LOWER OUR EXCHANGE RATE FROM .90+ USD TO .65?

Now hardware costs a shitload too.

you ausfags should be making sure dingos ain't eating your babies and not playing games...

>>27677171


errr... and that fantastic education system also gave me the skills necessary to include 3 thing in a both

Indeed it is. Hell, it's not just games we have to pay out the ass for these days. General living is expensive too.

But, hopefully things will change. With the Economic situation the way it is, prices will drop. Or no games get sold. Easy as that.

So, why do you guys pay out of the ass for videogames? And if you know why you are paying exorbantly more then other nations, then why don't you go bitch at them about it?

You idiot. Australia is the worlds 6th biggest continent, we're bigger than Europe in relative size. We are the worlds largest island and also the 6th largest country. Our oceans are the third largest in the world, Our country is full of inferior aboriginals to make us feel better, We have 3 different time zones in our country due to it's size, your all morons' Australia is the worlds largest hunk: of, shit.

>>27677251

I think we tried that. nothing happened. Tis grand to be a pirate king.

Mostly I import games. Or steal them, just like I would steal a car, a baby, and a police hat

>>27677156
I'm not implying that Australia isn't an island, brah. I'm saying that an ENTIRE CONTINENT is getting boned on video game prices and it's bullshit.

>>27677423
Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country in the southern hemisphere comprising the mainland of the world's smallest continent

Wikipedia and google disagree with you.

same with USD/EUR

Think 599 USD for a PS3 (on release) is much?
well,the PS3 started for 599EUR here,which is nearly 800 USD!

fuckin greedy jews,all of them

ps: new games usually start for 40-50EUR here,that's 63 USD for a shitty game. That's why I pirate from time to time :X

to relish on the idea that "games are too expensive, we wont pay that price" is lovely .. but in reality any consumer, in any state, or any country, will pay the price for their time of comfort. Be that a cheap bottle of wine, or an expensive video game. Street Fighter 7 is still going to cost you a mortgage, and you're still going to buy it.

continent? more like incontinent if you ask me

Guys, you're going to get fucked on gaming if you're outside of the US. I feel for the Ausfags, though. Lol 130 dollars for a single PS3 game.

>>27677423
>it is size
>your all morons

Not OP but fellow pissed off Ausfailian, Fuck Namco man, those buttfuckers havn't even released Vesperia here yet, fuck that shit bro

>>27677572

Only idiots actually buy for that price here, most new releases are sold for $70/80 at our version of walmart and stay within that price range for the first few weeks.

>>27677484

woah, i check wiki now and then but you take it to the next level babe .. you didnt wanna settle this over an arm wrestle and a meatpie did you? p.s ive got my kangaroo out the back ripping notes out of your "wallet", which ive actually found to be a tin-can with notes in it

I don't really care about paying excesive amounts , the shit that makes me rage is the games that never make it here , i wan't my fucking tales of vesperia already

For those of you who want to know what it's like being a gamer in Australia: Australia get Persona 3 weeks after Americans got Persona 4.

I'm thinking of just buying an american 360 (since ps3 is region free and wii is with twilight hack) and importing everything since even now, with the exchange rate and postage it is still cheaper and much, much, much earlier

>>27677659

Rock Band 2 isn't even out yet as well

sup >>27677641
>>27677615 here

I'm feelin you bro, i guess star ocean might be alright, how long till we get that?

>>27677724
april 24 is when EU you gets it so we should get it then aswell

>>27677721

It's cheaper to import from the uk compared to America these days. Just buy off cdwow.

americans are fags end of story

You can't bitch. You got the only PAL gold cart of Legend of Zelda.

So, White Glint, do you happen to have that big list of /v/ Armored Core players and their gamertags/PSNs?

Why can't anyone give me a straight answer on the minimum wage per hour is on average in Australia?

im in aus and i only buy games i REALLY like. everything i pirate.

id buy them all if things were not over priced.

also in b4 14 yanks saying nobody else matters but them

>>27677792

No, sorry. I haven't picked it up yet. I put my psn down for it but haven't seen it since

>>27677805

Somewhere between 6-8$ I think, don't quote me on that though. Those were the wages of guys I knew who worked at Mcdonalds.

>>27677641
Its the not knowing that kills me either confirim that it will never be released in the PAL regions or confirm that it will and set a fucking release date

>>27677805
i get payed a bit over $10 to deliver pizza, thats pretty shit

depends on how much shit you can steal per hour

nation of convicts etc etc

>>27677805
$14.31 per hour according to http://www.fairpay.gov.au/fairpay/WageSettingDecisions/General/2008/2008decision.htm
i'm not sure if that's just for fulltime positions though. also minors and apprentices can probably get paid less per hour (legally), because if they were to ask for the minimum wage it would be unaffordable for their employees and they would be out of a job.

>>27677865
me and my mate have been waiting for a PAL release date sinc it came out in japan, it's been so long, i'm starting to lose hope

>>27677886

Do you work at a PIzzahut or something? I always wanted to know if it's policy for female drivers to only deliver during the day.

I always get female delivers during the day and only indians at night.

Found a preowned Skies of Arcadia in EB for $84.95

EB are dicks.

>>27677886

I get paid a base rate of $18 an hour ( but i am always on time and a quarter, then time and a half on saturadays, and time and 3 quarts on sundays) just to stand around reading (not on saturedays, saturdays are a bitch) in a TAB (horse betting outlet in NSW)

Get a better job. become a barman or something, htey get payed fairly well for the level of work (have to work like a bitch as floor staff for a few months first though

>>27677993
thats a safety thing

>>27677936
yea its one of the only jrpgs i was anticipating heaps this gen, i still have a small amount of hope i will get to play it though

>>27677993
yeah i work at pizza hut, i have a chick at my store who delivers at night but, is your store a fracnhise or like company owned?

>>27678015

I found it in a Revolution CD just 300 feet from an EB games that was selling it for 30 bucks.

>>27677509
USD is actually worth less then the EUR now.

At the moment 1 USD = 0.781921964 EUR.

The reason you pay roughly 60 EUR or more for games is due to regional pricing. Unless you import games, not sure wether you'd pay some form of import tax over them but in the case of importing regional pricing has no effect.

>>27678051
i applied for a job at the local leagues club and shit after i got my RSA and RCG but i swear there are no jobs around, or it might be because i get hammered every friday and usually booted

>It's even worse when you go back a few months to when the AUD and the USD where equal.

That was a one-off freak occurrence, now that the two dollars are back where they usually are the prices are right.

Now US$60 is approx AU$100-110.

Also Americans earn shit all monies in comparison. I pack shelves in a store for a living and get $21 an hour. Yanks get no-where near that for bottom end jobs.
