So. I'm sure that no matter how badly we want a game, we hate paying the large price tag on it. But what really bothers me even more, is how much places charge for games in countries other then the States. No matter what the dollar is compared to them. Look at this:
Standard First Party Wii Game: (The first number is the normal price, second is conversion from USD)
US (Gamestop.com)
$49.99
Canada (Gamestop.ca)
$59.99
$50.28 CAD
Australia (GAME.au)
$99.95
$54.04 AUD
I will give credit to buying games in the UK, because their prices are more or less legit and comparable with the US price. In Euros of course.
Anyway, I live in Canada and I get shafted almost 10 dollars on games. That really pisses me off. The games should cost about the same as in the US. Some days our dollar is even better then theirs.
I am however lucky that I don't live in Australia. They get shafted about 45 dollars. I can see developers adding on maybe FIVE dollars, instead of 45. Seriously.
So, does this make you really angry? And why?
