lizzie1238 538 Posted May 31, 2012 Noob . . .Australia has a stronger dollar than the US No they don't, and whenever I hear about Australian game prices they always seem to be much more expensive, I have no idea why. 1 atheist123 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atheist123 583 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) No they don't, and whenever I hear about Australian game prices they always seem to be much more expensive, I have no idea why. yeah, 2 cents more the main thing is that to get games classified in Australia it costs more (as they have no R18+ its a bitch for companies as some games get rejected), not as many games are expected to sell, and PAL is just more expensive generally as we're a smaller demographic (more expenses etc). I think its also that the US dollar used to be able to buy $1.50 AUS so gamers got used to high prices due to this, and when it went down to the approx. 1:1 ratio its at now, retailers haven't dropped it with the exchange rate.

Tsunamo 62 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Australian game prices have been like that for years, marked up for no real reason and pinned on 'taxes' (if I remember right) and other things like that when the issues been bought up, although that's probably just an excuse, as the markups are almost double for alot of console games. They might change now though, retailers are going to struggle because now alot of consumers are catching on that it works out cheap for us to import games from overseas, and ship them here than it is to buy a game at full price here most of the time, so retailers might have to markdown their prices to stay competitive. tl;dr there's been excuse about the pricing of games here, and no actual proper reason for the markup of prices here, so it's just stayed that way. HD collections are $50 in Australia??? Then shouldn't they be like $25 in NA?! Sorry, turns out I was a bit off there. Going by the Jak and Daxter Trilogy they seem to retail for around $60 here. Wasn't too far off though The US pricing is about $20 cheaper (going by gamestop and amazon.com), so I think that seems in line with the conversions. (and the Australian markup from other countrys in retail pricing we get for every game) This would be awesome. But I highly doubt it's true. What about the whole Tarzan issue? I'm no expert, but I'm prettysure there shouldn't be any issue with the rights if they're just re-releasing the original game. Disney also re-released Tarzan on Blu-Ray recently, so that would support that. This HD remake announcement is so sudden. I feel like this is fake, and it should have been announced by the creators themselves. It's not an announcement though, it's a rumor. The guys says he has had his source tell him, and he's reported it on his site, with no official confirmation it's classified as a rumor. If it's announced it'll be announced by Square-Enix themselves, or revealed at one of the E3 conferences. Edited May 31, 2012 by Tsunamo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spectrum of Life 188 Posted May 31, 2012 The best we can do is hope for it. It would go a long way towards fixing the complications from repeatedly jumping platforms. This years E3 should be interesting, especially since its a hardware year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AaySquare 445 Posted May 31, 2012 If this is going to be true then I'll pre-order the game as soon as the pre-order option will be available in the stores! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloud the Keyblade Master 44 Posted May 31, 2012 With this: [media=]http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Jjal3E6-sk0[/media] I knew it, I knew they would re-classify it as Final Fantasy XV, come out for PS3 and Wii U, and be out by fall next year.

Oishii 3,987 Posted May 31, 2012 I just came back from Gamestop (got my MoM edition pre-order and with full payment down ^^). The guy there told me this exact rumor and I looked at him like he's crazy. I still have a hard time believing it. He said it was "insider" information I would rather go to E3 and see what official information we get than believing unsourced rumors... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should ask if this is information which they got from within GameStop, or whether it's just something that they personally read online. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
