Australia is the WORST internet country in the world.Originally Posted by screwed
yeah I hear the Australian prices are a little crazy, and so is the rating system? I always read stories on how this or that game got banned in Australia.
does Steam charge you in Australian dollars? and its still 120? that is wild. As far as I can tell, the Australian dollars are only slightly higher than the US dollar.
We used to be able to pay in US dollars, which compared to our currency is like 1 dollar 5 kroners. But now they force us to pay in Euro, which is 8 kroners on the dollar. And the price is the same.. 20 dollars does not translate into 20 euros, well I guess thats why Valve has all the money
Goverment wont pay for new copper line, our copper line isnt copper, we forked out for optical line along our train tracks, it isnt used.
We have a rating system with no R18+, we wont be getting mortal Kombat, becuase some white hick polly doesnt want little johnny playing a video game with blood, yet the problem isnt with the rating system its the total lack of control, major stores dont check for ID, and little johnny comes home with a MA15 game and his parent run and have a cry to the minister.
We pay full retail pricing for a game that doesnt come with a CD, yet we use a proxy to get the game for half price.....
