I know this has been mentioned in other threads but I just wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the pitiful plight of one of gamings most unfortunate creatures, "The PAL gamer", and the even rarer subspecies, "The Oz gamer". The purpose of this thread is for us to wallow in our own gaming self pity and perhaps help our American brethren realise how good they have it over the ocean(or otherwise just poke fun at us). For a long time we were, particularly with respect to prices, given various reasons such as the strength of the US dollar, additional taxes and so on. However, considering recent changes in currency value with no concordant changes in the price of gaming paraphernalia, it's clear that these reasons were in fact just excuses. I want your best examples of ridiculous game prices, ridiculous system prices, game delays, lack of advertising, games not being released at all, poor service by our respective gaming divisions (Nintendo of Australia i'm looking at you), or anything else that just pisses you off about being a PAL gamer. I'll start it off. ENDLESS OCEAN: to be released this week at RRP 79.95 AUD (71 USD) (and here was i thinking i'd get my bro a 'budget game' for his birthday)
No grand predictions, i'm just looking forward to playing some good games on my Wii.
