Is it worth buying from Amazon?

Okay, so I live in Australia and the prices are way cheaper on Amazon then they are here in stores but I have heard shipping costs a lot, how much does it actually cost?
 
Say for example I wanted Bioshock 2 and the price was $60 how much would it be including shipping?
 
Thanks ^_^

" On amazon it is 4.98 shipping for games and 2.98 for movies. Usually, amazon has discounts that can add up to be 2,3, or even 10$, so you can factor that into the price and see where you can get the better deal from either your local game store or amazon. "

" I don't know if they ship internationally but it would depend on which Amazon you're ordering from. amazon.ca amazon.com amazon.co.uk amazon.co.jp  Also, don't forget about region locks, unless you're getting it for PS3.  Just make an account and see what shipping will be.  *edit* I guess they ship everywhere except Africa, Latin America, and The Middle East, so you should'nt have a problem ordering from like, Amazon.com. "

I've found that new stuff is pretty much the same price as in stores, but you have to pay for shipping so it ends up costing more in the end. Once your game, movie, CD or whatever has been out for a few months the price goes down some. I know Amazon.ca (Canada) lets me buy stuff from other businesses besides themselves, and they typically say where they ship from. So if I buy from a place thats close to my location the shipping charges are fairly minimal. Luckily I don't live too far out of Toronto, so pretty much everything is shipped through TO. I bought a couple blu-rays a few weeks ago, I think the shipping was like 2 dollars. 
 
Australia might be a whole different story... The best thing you can do is make an account, go through the buying process up to the final page where it shows the entire cost with shipping.

" Nope, PC games aren't.  But yeah, they'll ship overseas, you'll just have to add stuff to your cart + choose a shipping method and it should spit out a price before you actually confirm buying it. "

The Guy above me speaks with logic.
