This.
Almost $950 a fortnight after Rent Assistance for doing nothing.
I share the cost of rent with a family member, pay my share of bills and food and I still have enough for fun shit.

Aussie dollars are worth less than canadian dollars

prices in australia have always been very high

>>737105761
>eb games
they existed for a time in australia in malls with sky high monthly rent bills that wasn't very sustainable. t's best if slop corporations disappear.

>>737105796
They started accepting retro game trade-in's like 6 months before the news hit then sent all that stock to Australia. I regret not grabbing Pokemon Omega Ruby for $60 when I saw it.

It isn't the price of the game going up, its the value of your currency collapsing.

>>737106136
it's always third world shitholes posting things like this when their currency is worth much, much less. really fucks with my head, i mean do you retards even think for 1 second before you repost the propaganda you were force fed? if i went to asia i could live like a king for 30 years on 1 year of my salary

How much of it is tax to give abbos goon bags and land acknowledgements?

Debt based wealth was always a stupid concept that even entire nations got suckered into believing because if they stopped believing their economy would crash overnight.

that's switzerland, the bank homeland, who coincidentally decided to peg their currency to a set rate that doesn't inflate

this is an aussie thread, where do you think you are

buy at jb hi fi or big w, always the same price or cheaper than america, digital cucks get what they deserve

>>737105606
It's bullshit but are there any games worth buying even?
I guess I'm just very picky with vidya. Literally only games i bought or am buying this year was Styx Blades of Greed and 007 First Light.
First Light being the most bullshit pricing but thats two games in a year. Just stop buying games you don't want to play. That's the solution. You can't tell me you actually want to play everything right? i sure know i don't and people are already bitching about that 007 games direction. But i don't struggle with the pricing since I'm not buying anything i don't want to play. I don't buy a hundred shitty dark souls clones because i don't even want to play most of it.

Because you'll still buy it, tard.

aus is not far behind, i've noticed tons of eb's closing up

>>737105606
Games were $120 on the PS2 when they came out. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. No game is worth that much.

>>737105761
okay but nobody wants physical games anymore because they cost more and always will due to logistics. theres a reason all those stores are 90% merch now. Its a dying business model with no hope of recovery.

>>737105816
Prices also dropped faster because there was physical inventory that had to be moved. Most of those game were 39.99 or less a year later. Nowadays prices barely move.

>>737106136
he's wrong btw, literally speaking out of his ass. check back in a decade

>>737106717
nintendo games often kept their bullshit prices

>>737105606
Those games aren't real and they don't exist, so there's nothing to fret about
Last time I bought a full price AAA game was 10 years ago, it was D44M and I was moderately satisfied with my purchase but I haven't seen anything worth buying since
There's SO many good games at <$20 that I simply don't need these retarded $100+ pricetag diarrhoea shits

It's a fair price for treason.

those prices are offensive and justify piracy

You're kidding right? Games were like $100 in the early 2000s. 10% price increase in a quarter of a century is nothing. Games somehow got cheaper. Meanwhile houses went up 560% in the same timeframe.
