Anybody getting SimCity?

[Jake]

I was hoping it would be more around $20-50. No Sim City in the near future for me...

Australian is roughly double USD so it probs is around US$50

^ I hate how much games cause in aus, and how long it takes for some to get here. I wouldn't be surprised if it was more in the 80-99$ range

Some places get it a whooolee lot worse though. :s

It's $60 in US dollars, just like all new non-handheld releases these days.

they really dont.
If you know where to shop you can get everything for a reasonable price

Besides, $350 is equivalent to like $200-$300 US, not that expensive

actually, the US dollar is pretty much the same as 1 AUD atm, its just stores like eb games and such that price new games at like $108 AU when they are around $60 in the US. At launch, the 3DS was like $350, but there were a few places that had it at around $300. They do inflate the prices a fair bit, but as you said, some places do have reasonable prices.

dayummm, I bought mine from Jb hifi on the release date as well, and the best they would do was $300, no game (pre-ordered). and its not just eb games, jb hifi also do about 30-40$ more on new release games. the best you could do on say a new release for console would be around $20 more than US (without going online). its not a HUGE amount, but it does add up. oh well, back onto simcity

Nintendogs was included in the deal

Yeah JB's good - i buy most electronic things from there;
but different JB's have different prices, the one nearest to me had the $300 one too - but the one in the city had the deal I got
