First off, no-one in America ever has the right to bitch about the price of anything related to electronics, it makes you sound like spoiled children in the eyes of the rest of the world.

It would be wonderful if you'd elaborate on this comment...

http://au.finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=29.95&from=AUD&to=USD&submit=Convert

1 Aussie dollar is worth 97.11 us cents

 

We pay $100 rrp for our Wii games, $110 for PS360 games

ie $97.11 US after converting

 

In America you pay $50 for a game.

 

I don't know if you guys have a sales tax, but we do so I'm going to add on 10% to your price

 

ie 55

 

Then you have to consider, Australia is closer to where the games are produced, but there's a better economy of scale for shipping to the US. These probably cancel each other out.

 

Therefore there is $42.11 extra going into somebodies pockets
