Amazon launched in Australia today, and I thought it would be good to monitor how aggressively it enters a new market from a gaming perspective. If there is enough interest, over the next few months I will update this thread as people bring details to my attention.

It should also be a good indicator for those markets where Amazon is yet to open, of how competitive it will be for gaming when it eventually arrives.

As off today, Amazon's range is limited. I also cannot see that it is generally cheaper than other Australian retailers for gaming, with 2 significant exceptions:

Battlefront 2 for consoles is $18 cheaper than the next best price I can find (itself a price that only started today, no doubt in response to Amazon's launch) at $AU39. 

Nintendo Switch is $AU399. I have seen it on sale for a single day here of there at this price at other retailers, but generally the best you'll do if $AU449.
