You might as well remove the dollar signs from them though. Doing a straight conversion doesn't make much sense. Our income is greater than theirs on average. All that inflation and stuff etc... I mean I don't know much about the stock market but our economy is just different.

Thats true. My friend bought one of the latest laptops but its built in graphics do not enjoy 3d games in the slightest.

Luckily he has a 360 and Wii for gaming on :)

actually, i think quite a few might because of the ability to mod the game .. especially with PES, having a PC version makes it easier to use option files to get correct team names, kits etc

It's silly to convert to dollars; that doesn't mean anything comparatively.

Dunno why people even still do this crap. "Soccer" did originally stem from the UK, not the US or wherever you guys think it came from.

So true. I rarely go in any game store these days, the only time i do is to check the clearances and bargain bins. I do most of my buying online now, much more competitive prices even when taking delivery costs into account.
