Just a quick question, to all our Australian members. How much do videogames cost in Oz? I ask as my missus is on her way there on Wednesday, and I need to know if they're cheap enough for me to give her a list or not, seeing as you share our humble PAL format.
So, uh, let me know.

Well console games come out at about A$100 but by shopping round you can pick em up as low as $80. GBA games are aound the $50 mark and pc games range from 50 to 100

yeah cheaper than the UK, i've saved about £10 (per game) like that, the exchange rate might not be so good now though.

Well, firstly the exchange rate is really low at the moment, so I guess that helps. And the thing is that the price of games in Australia hasn't actually risen for at least 10 years. I'm 17 now, and when I first had my sega master system, at around 7, games were $100 then. 10 years on and new release console games are still $100, I'm not sure if this has been the same for the rest of the world. I have a feeling that games will stay at $100 for quite awhile as well, there will probably be an outcry is prices are increasedOriginally posted by Macca

Life is good. And I feel great. Coz mother says I was, a great mistake.

Latest release PC games around $80-90, and Console games (PS2, XBOX etc) are around that price too ( for the latest releases)
