I paid $599 for mine!!! Stupid Australia......



Joking, I love Australia. Just asked if I could get a game for $68 here, they said no way! Thief will be $88 unless I import it. You lucky bastard!

Does Australia use American Dollars as its primary currency?


We have our own dollar currency. We're still near parity with the USD though and paying $100 extra for consoles, games here are usually $99 at EB, (GameStop) too... I got them to price match it down to $88!!!

The PS4 though is $550 here..... Still better than the PS3, some $1099.99 at launch.

I don't think any country other than the United States use the US dollar as their primary currency ;) . Of course many countries trade using the US dollar but that's different.

Remember that you're not actually paying $100 more. American's have to pay tax too whereas yours is included in the price. So your paying $50 more than Americans. Your games though are a ripoff :)

Oh yeah... Good point. Makes me feel slightly better. Accessories are ridiculous too. $99 for an Xbox controller with play & charge kit?!?!

Just did a google search before for Titanfall pre-order, found a Target page that said $60 and I was so happy................. until I realised it was the US Target site, not the Australian one... Another $88!! Sorry to complain like a bitch everyone but....

Those prices are riduculous. Is everthing expensive in Australia? Is the minimum wage really high with the high prices? I know Australians travel A LOT! So I always thought the pay in Australia was very good.

@ everyone

X1 the best of all 3?? Nope.  You just answered the question yourself.  Why is the X1 marked down to $400?  In 3 different scenarios now from what I see, costco and some other place too.  Great deal?? Yes, for you right now. But soon it's gonna have an official price drop and be even cheaper.  Not that I plan on getting one anyway.  Just saying it's nothing out of the ordinary with the X1 at its current state. 

Dead Rising 3, a good game probably but not something to really talk about since with the frame rate dropping down to 12 frames per second. 


Marked down? He said in the OP it was an, "off the back of the truck" type dealing...

 

What is the point of replying if you don't take the time to read?


Well, I was assuming that it was the type of deal I got because it was a Day One Edition in mint condition. Looked as if it was barely touched. Could be legit though, I was just in shock that the guy took my low ball offer, he could have been hard up for cash.
