Re:So he's saying games should be immune to inflat (Score 1)

I don't know whether anyone has made a mention of this yet, but in Australia we pay a flat $100-$120AUD ($92-$110USD on Nov 02) for new games that come out which, frankly, sucks. When new games are announced, the first thing we find out is whether or not they are planning to release on Steam, or if we can buy them from overseas (not always legally). If the answers to both of those is "no", then we seriously reconsider the need to buy the game. Steam has made a huge difference to the accessibility of games to people in Australia, so yay for Valve, too. $60 for the OrangeBox is fantastic value by anyone's measure, and we'd all like to see more of it.
