@Intr1n5ic it doesnt matter what minimum wages are in australia, the point is and also the reality is, $70us is $91 au, so yeah $100, i can cop that, $125 i will not pay. every 4 games i pay for is a free game to americans at full price, how is that a fair deal? it not. now i live in melbourne, i have a mortgage, im in a suburban area 40 mins away from the cbd and my house repayments alone are $450 a week, i bought 8 years ago, minimum house price now in my area is $500k for a 25 year old home. repayments would be $550 a week minimum, just because $19 is our minimum wage doesnt make psn prices right. oh petrol, $1.50 a litre, that $6 a gallon. our daily cost of living is much higher then america. until you know how the economy of aus works, you cant just go by the minimum wage. thats just dumb. reality is, what i buy of psn is EXACTLY the same as the americans do, yet we pay an extra 25% for what reason?
40 hour work week, $20/h = $800, minus tax, around $700 left, $500 on house repayment, $200 left, now $200 has to cover gas, electricity, petrol, insurance, phone, food and daily living cost, yet you think its ok for aus to pay 25% more. clearly you have no idea on reality of australians and just spread words of your imagination.
@Jaz007 $70 US = $90 australian, yet in australia this game is $125 aud. $35 over US retail. I have pretty much given up on my ps5 already due to us literally getting ripped off for no reason at all. i call my ps5 the dust collector, pathetic effort sony.
