Hate to say it starcraft, but if you're not American you're screwed. I'm Canadian and our dollar gives us about 96 cents US, and we STILL pay $289.99 for a Wii and $549.99 for the 60gig PS3. At least M$ was kind enough to give us a $100 price drop, but it's just the way it works. The US has a much larger economy, not necessarily stronger, and they can make demands that us smaller, but still economically powerful nations can't, and have other nations agree to them. :(
It's like when I shop for computer parts. Our dollars are basically the same, yet all across the board there's 10-30% price differences. :/ Maybe importing is cheaper for, have you looked into that? Get a NTSC (Assuming Australia is PAL) Wii, and see how much it'd cost a buddy of yours overseas to ship the units to you, barring customs and tariffs.
