Calling all Australian GBers!

Sup duders, I'm doing a report for my International Business class on the Australian game industry, in particular the situation with game prices. I'm looking to add a little color to it by getting some feedback from actual game players.
 
If any of you wouldn't mind answering some questions for me over PM I'd really appreciate it!

Consider this Australian Asian called! Yeah, prices are a bummer, so I buy from US online, unless I get a good deal. Simple as that.

Hey man.

To give you an idea of how ludicrous it has gotten, COD Black ops standard was retailing at $150 NZD STANDARD! at EB games, I told at least three people to go to another store the fucking rip off artists, our dollar is 70% of the American, how the fuck can they justify those prices, if you take out tax and distro costs, it still should only come up to $110 tops. 120 for the greedy cunts. 
 
It's fucking daylight robbery man.

" $150 NZD STANDARD! "

PM away.

Go for it, I'll answer if I can.

" I recently discovered ozgameshop.com which is pretty awesome. Picked up MGS4 for $26. "

Ozzie prices are worse than our prices since your dollar is a lot stronger than ours.

I suppose I could answer some questions.

I work in video games retail so send those PMs away for the incredible insider scoop! 

I'm more than happy to answer a few questions if you wanted to PM me.

If I can be of help, I don't mind being asked a few questions.  I'll do my best to respond ASAP.

If they weren't big releases that I want to play as soon as possible (Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed II, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, etc.) then I would buy them when I go back to Hong Kong during my holidays. They are almost always half price compared to the games here, even with the cheap prices from JB and other stores. 
 
Also, PM me, I'll be available to answer question for my fellow Australian GBer!

I'm willing to answer questions, PM me or email me at andrew@digitalgaudium.com 
Black Ops is priced at $120 at EB Games and the Australian Dollar is worth more than the U.S...

repin Melbourne, ask away. 

I guess you can ask me some to.

I'd be happy to answer a few questions. PM me if you would like too.

I could help you out too. Interesting topic that you chose, back in my day we had to write papers on the art of killing ants with magnifying glasses.

Cool thanks a lot everyone!, I'll send them out within a couple hours :)

more volunteers the better! Its rare to get this much interest in answering a questionnaire :)
