Oh no. You'll just have to buy another game at 50% of the US retail price.

Yes but the cost of living is also much higher than a lot of other countries. You also can't justify price regions with digital products no matter how you try and spin it.

+1. I am living in Australia as well. I kinda have to rely on friends overseas for cheap games!

I totally understand you... but unfortunately I don't have many gamer friends overseas so I have to buy overpriced games :D

You can always use online key shops that import from America or whatever, effectively the same as having a friend from overseas, however it's completely legal as far as I'm aware. [Correct me if I'm wrong!] I've been doing this for quite a while now.

Exactly the same as NZ. It amazes me that MW3 was $60USD for me and you got COD4 with preorder which was like normally $40USD for me but MW2 is still $89.99
EDIT: JUST FOUND OUT MW3 GOT A PRICE INCREASE IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS TO $100USD!

So what dude? With the prices you have in your country you can easily buy two games that are more expensive in USD or EUR and trade for it and still pay less for them then the person you traded with...
