Living in Australia means that we have to receive movies and games way later or same time as the rest of the world. But related to gaming, we have to pay more, way more. Our r.r.p. on GTA IV is $120Au (round about $112.242US)and hearing from American reviews, your games cost around $60US.
As well, we have no God damn R rating for our games. So their was a period of time where our gamers were scared because GTA IV would not be released. Our retailers keep charging us so much is because they can, they know that we will do anything to buy cheap games at expensive prices.
