Nintendo may have dropped the price, but Australia is still getting screwed too hard.

Wait... your actually comparing one of the smallest markets in the world, that is an island with a population less than the state of California to the largest buying economy in the world?

Of course its going to cost a lot more to ship it to an island with a FAR smaller consumer market.... just like everything else over there except kangaroo steaks.

Actually, Kangaroo steaks aren't cheap here anymore. Back in the day it was simply that farmers shot kangaroos when they were going to damage fences or annoy the farmers slightly. So students loved the cheap, and healthy meat. But then eating kangaroo became the in thing and prices skyrocketed.

On my trip to Australia, I had some really good roo steaks.
