Those are times when I'm glad to remember Wii games aren't Made in Brazil, imported from the US instead. =P Which means NTSC (and US$150 on a single game, which makes it not nice to remember again)

All games in aus are PAL, but they are all 100, 150 dollars, the only reason for that price is because we are australian, no other reason, they just feel like ripping us off.

console games, often even computer games are way to expensive I wouldn't pay > $65AUD for a game that's why I don't have a console and we have a piracy problem

For us the best thing to do is to travel to the US (the euro makes it imposible to buy even the cheapest things in Europe) and buy loads of things =p Even with all the taxes it still is less then half the local price.
Got my dad to buy me an iPod Touch there, $300. Know how much would it cost here? $700.
Same with games. And almost everything else.

(Yep, total rip off. Hate it.)

1 Australian dollar is nearly the same as 1 American dollar so importing is good
