in Australia disgusting and I'm sick to death of Aussies being gorged. I saw Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in JB yesterday for *$115*! Whatever happened to our free trade agreement? Even after overheads, including GST, $70 should be the upper limit on the prices of new games in this country. School aged kids with no money learnt how to pirate CDs and download music for free and once they'd learnt how to do it even when they had jobs and money they were unlikely to purchase products they new how to get for free. The music industry shot itself in the foot by over pricing the product in the first place. If they'd always been selling CDs for $10 or less piracy may never have grown at the rate it did.

It shouldnt cost them as much even with the taxes and marketing. I have worked with a publisher and they provide a percentage of their markering budget to the distributors and wholesale department. Also I know from sources that some of local distributors buy games straight from the publishers overseas, making a huge markup and selling them to independent game stores such as gametraders at the same price as local distribution. Another classic example is gametraders does their own distribution of video games in house but keeping the profits at
