Are people taking into consideration the price of their dollar to the US dollar? Aswell as the fact that a certain game may be out months before it is in their country. Aswell as shipping costs (probably not really that much extra though).

The U.S. dollar isn't worth s*** these days. Canada's dollar is better on the global market. That's just depressing.

I wish all the currency in the world was at the same rate, but unfortunately that's freakin' impossible . Anyway, this whole price rate thing between currencies is getting really out of hand, especially with all the inflation (milk at one time cost more than gas).

DM, it pretty much was that. . Pretty good for a holiday when you think about it, becuase its not like your going to have to worry about the food you eat, and what you drink that you wont get sick.

How about this, what is the price of bread in your country (just the basic store brand bread).
Example : a white sandwich bread loaf from safeway (safeway brand) is AU$1.90 (or there abouts).

Well currency rates can be a rather bad thing until you discover importing. I can save a f*** ton of money by importing things games from Canada. Of course this only works now whilst the dollar is worth so little. so for you it would have the reverse effect of making importing really expensive...

Yeah, importing is always a smart move if you want to cut corners to save money. I'm going to import some game from there soon, maybe even the WoW expansion... I could save some serious moolah

You people BUY games? Thats SO 15 years ago. Illegal downloading is the new thing. Welcome to the 21st century, may i take your order? Lawls, not really though.

I actually play on European servers of WoW (All my awesome European friends play there) and I was pissed to find out that I had to pay 13 Euros for the subscription of one month. If my calculations are correct, thats 20$. I could have paid 15 for the American servers... Psh..

Well if you can find a free way of illegally downloading XBox 360 games or Wii games, let me know

I prefer renting games unless I know I'll put a lot of time into them.

If you're caught playing a burnt Xbox game on Live, Microsoft will ban you until the year 9999, not kidding, and I assume this applies for XBox 360 games also.

With Wii and XBox 360, you need to buy hardware in order to play backups, I don't think there's softmodding for either.

I don't really have a problem with people pirating games. Except when they go "Oh due this game is awesome and i totally support the maker!" without buying a copy... So yeah I tend to buy games I have pirated if I find them good enough.
