$118? I wouldn't pay that much even if it came with a custom fucking fedora and a suit.

This is Australian retail prices we are talking about $118 isnt that unusual, most new-release console games usually retail from $70-100, pc games usually couple bucks cheaper.

Ah, right. Didn't see Undead Gamer's location and assumed that was USD. Not too bad, then.

Its shit actually, but theres little us aussies can do about it. (beyond pirating games, which I dont really like doing)

If you're able to get 'em at 70 Australian that'd be more or less the same as 60 USD at the moment. Any more than that's a rip-off, yeah. Tends to happen here with new console releases too. I just scout around and get stuff shipped from Play Asia or eBay. Some of the better deals happen there.

Thanks Scots, I've been a lurker for a few years now ;)
If we use the Amazon.com/EB Games consumer price index™:
Standard Edition - US $50 (~$60 AU)
Collector's Edition - US $70 (~$82 AU)
In Orstrayla we're slugged
Standard Edition - $98 AU (~US $84)
Collector's Edition - $118 AU (~US $102)
The collector's edition is something I'm definitely going to own, and will probably be the (

I haven't done the sums yet to see how much I can save - (

The last thing I'm waiting for is to see what 12 pictures will be used for the basis of that 4-poster collection:

The greaser pack sounds better...nothing sounds better than having V8 in a hotrod :cool:

is bastard child eva ? amount of advertising spam is similar.
they truncate the game with DLC/pay for exclusives in mind and then even split the goodies up between retailers. I, as a customer, feel betrayed and have the impression that I get a lesser product compared to .... shop xyz or country xyz, not to speak of the ridiculous currency conversion rates they use, now they even discriminate shops and/or countries with their exclusive content. I love Mafia and I eagerly await its release and I would glady pay extra dollars for a collectors edition that features THE SAME BLOODY GAME for everybody except the goodies (map, merchandise, game guide, artbook). But not this.
I will play the pirated version and wait for the standard edition to fall in price.
greedy 2k made me do it ;)
