Australian gamers are amongst the most ripped off when it comes to paying for games. Case in point:
On the EB website (and I presume the stores), you can get:
PS3 Star Ocean for $108.
PS3 Final Fantasy XIII (pre-order) for $118.
Total = $226
On a UK game site, I just bought:
PS3 Star Ocean for $56.08.
PS3 Final Fantasy XIII (pre-order) for $70.56.
Total = $126.64
Same game .. only the cover doesn't have the Australian Classification markings.
What a joke. I just saved $100 (effectively got a game for free in Australian terms), got it delivered to (my folks) door and didn't have to deal with the body odour filled games stores that we have here in Aus.
