It's still a lot cheaper to import, especially PC games.

Here is CIV 5 as an example: http://www.ozgameshop.com/pc-games/sid-meiers-civilization-v-5-game-pc

Even on Steam's 40% sale, a UK retailer that offers free shipping to Australia still beat them by more than 20% on their standard non-sale price. The mark-up in Austrailia for games has been absurd for a long time now. And the excuse they use are weak at best. I import most of my game from the UK now since we share the same region and DLC works on the AU PSN without issue. A few game I get from US importers as it is even cheaper there despite the shipping.

Steam ID: mibuoakmi, I don't have a whole lot of game on it actually... never go steam until Left4Dead really

Yeah but what about for example play-asia the importing costs are like 20dollars you may as well just buy a game from your nearest retail and pc games as far as i have seen them havent gone about 89.96 even when console games were 119.95 for some damn reason

edit: sorry for side tracking the thread, back to steam ids :D
