I'll be coming on line sporadically but I won't be posting as much till I feel near 100%.

I am counting the days till Yakuza 3, Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy 13 and Dragon Age Origins : Awakening comes out. I am fortunate to have the money to get these (and mom loves final fantasy enoth to pitch in).

What I'd like to know is how the financeralcrisis affecting other people. I use my Disability Pension to buy some games and pay the rent that is fortunately low enough for my hobbies that even with the different value of dollar between nations Aussie games are more expensive. My immediate family helps when all the gamesseem to come out at once, not every one has family to support them, a highpaycheck (mine is not high but is gets me by), or the savings I have made over the years. Normally I would cut out one of those games but mom realy loves the FF Series so I'll be only paying about half.

$110AU is what I am expected to pay for Heavy Rain/$30AU for Dragon Age (because it's an Add-on). What do you in other nations pay?
