Well, as of this precise moment, $100AUD is $65USD. Still, it was absurd six months ago when the exchange rate was almost 1:1. Basically, the publishers will charge however much people are prepared to pay. Australians have been conditioned to believe that $100 is a fair price for a new game so, suckers that we are, we'll pay it.


The more absurd thing to my mind is that Nintendo DS games that are five years old are still being sold at more or less full price. Second hand ones often only have 5-10 dollars knocked off the price. And you can never find any of the good ones in between all the Pony Advendures and Nintendogs shit. Which is why I still haven't played any Pheonix Wright.
They had a good sale at the Local EB a few days ago, managed to get an 80 buck game for 35 dollars. The pricing was really random, but I got lucky. Also Phoenix Wright was there for 40 bucks?
