a long time (92c as I'm writing this). As usual this had little if no
impact of goods that are typically controlled by the US market.
Obviously the key item I'm talking about is console games (key staple
for all individuals :).
When the dollar dropped against the USD the price of games was quick
to hit the $110+ mark. However, with the rise of the Australian
currrency those prices haven't returned to their original levels.
This post however isn't about complaining it's about a solution. Last
week I had a brief look at playasia.com and discovered that they offer
premium titles at US$49. The result it much more reasonable market for
gaming. I ordered Tekken 6 and Dragon age for a little over $115
including shipping. Certainly much more reasonable than the EB
alternative. Oh and I ordered Friday and they delivered yesterday.
That's it for my gaming community service announcement.
