I know, it's ridiculous. When I was getting my PS3, the Aussie dollar was I think about 90 US cents yet the PS3 in the US was $300 and had twice as much HD space as ours which was $600. Why don't we get a fair deal? Everything's more expensive over here.Also, just to be clear, is the Australian Game Informer the same as the US one? I don't want to buy it only to find out it's a different issue.
What Sureve said. Game Informer Aus has the same reveals and previews, but local reader feedback and local writers with their say, sometimes articles relevant to Australia and NZ. They actually did an article on why the price of games are higher in Australia, issue #6 with the GoW 3 cover, and another issue had one on how come Australians don't have a R18 classification so often have troubles getting games through(Fallout 3 had some issue with alcohol or drugs at first IIRC).
But yeah it's a great magazine, would definitely reccomend it.
