Comment Something not right downunder? (Score 1) 361

Now the real question (for us in Australia) is - if $60US is a high price point, and that's what the games are selling for. Why the hell do we pay $115 for the high price point (at least at my local chain)? Let's do a conversion: Currently, $60US = $68AU. OK, we live far away. Right then, let's add very generous $20AU for postage. That's a total of $88AU to get a single game shipped here. Therefore, I could order many many games, individually, from the shelf of a US retailer - sell them from my shelf, and make $27 per game. So when we factor in bulk discounts, wholesale prices, and bulk freight, it's seeming like there's a whole lot of profit in Australian game retailers pockets. Where do I sign up?
