Most of my buddies are ordering from other sites. But...it almost surely wont be here on day 1 It'll probably take about a week to get it here,and it costs about 64 dollars on play asia. The sad part is computer games are normally very cheap when they officially release here. GTA4 cost 499 rupees (about 14 dollars) on day 1. and tahe orange box cost something like 25$ on day1. So I'll be paying about 3 times the amount and no day1. | ||

Its rediculous how much cheaper it is to download games if you can, you save like 50 aussie dollars sometimes, especially for new releases. But what are you going to do Yeah, but you forgot that we're screwed either way because of our capped Internet plans. If we had a chart for Internet prices in Australia and the rest of the world, it'd probably be even worse than games. | ||

Do you have info on the complete game price for these countries? And also, thanks for the statistics  I think we do have to buy the digital version from USA, which is $60, and I believe they wont be taxing that, so its R$110. Furthermore its in english, which should be much much better than portuguese version (Aldaris: construa mais postes LOL) | ||

Once that time has expired, the one who purchased such a copy can either pay a subscription fee to extend the period or they can upgrade to a full version with unlimited multiplayer. However, they can also just bypass that and purchase a regular full copy right off the bat. Blizzard (the Battle.net team in particular) has been doing a lot of things wrong recently and I am seriously disappointed about that. However, I think their approach to these markets has been both fair and preety realistic given the circumstances that dominate in such countries. | ||

I've always been curious about this. Well there's two main game distributors, EB and GAME other than a few others and they basically hold a monopoly on distribution, they can price games at w/e they want. | ||
