hahaha, dude, Dick Smith Electronics is about the worst place you could possibly link to, no-one buys games from there. They buy online or though actul gamestores. You probably also didnt account for sales tax.

Game here in Sweden is much more expensive aswell, a game here goes for 600kr (~85$) and a PS3 costs about 6000kr (~860$). But I guess that has something to do with our different currencys.

Over here a game costs 81 dollars. Not too happy about that. I think the prices could be lower everywhere with 10 or 15 bucks off.

Stop complaining in every board that it's so expensive in NZ, it's really not that bad and they have other things far worse than us.
