i know that most publishers like to treat australian gamers like fools, and to be honest if the steam price is respectable then i will buy it through there, i really dont mind if this absurd pricing bankrupts game and eb ect. but is bethesda following the leader in terms of screwing aussie gamers?

Umm yeah it will be the same price as every other game is Australia...

But you get a special price! svcks that PC costs $10-$20 more than consoles though.

not necessarily. several games on steam are priced the same or similar as they are in other countries.
