Yep Austrlaia has alway been at the short end of the stick.
ATM our dollar is worth MORE than the US dollar.
| 1.00 AUD | = | 1.05420 USD |
At stages it got as high as 1.10 USD
Basic - $349 and premium - $429 AUD
Our games here still cost $108 RRP, although some retailers drop them to say $89 for the lesser popular titles.
Retailer justifications over the years:
- AUD is only 0.50USD (OK FAIR ENOUGH FAIR ENOUGH)
- Then when dollar is worth more, OH SHIPPING COSTS to AUD, and LESS PEOPLE, so need to be that high lol.
