Why buy from the UK for $52 when you can buy in Australia for $44.95 + $4.90 postage = $49.85 ? (or less with a discount code)
http://www.cheapgames.com.au/mass-ef...ox-p-2431.html For the record, Mass Effect 1 is $23.64 (and that's including postage to Australia). |

http://www.cheapgames.com.au/mass-ef...ox-p-2431.html I prefer to buy games from overseas - you can guarantee that you don't get saddled with the sanitised/censored Australian nanny state version. Recent examples being Left 4 Dead 2, Dark Sector and Soldier of Fortune. S |

Why would you buy a game from Amazon.com (the US site) when you can get better prices from the UK?

Because the game was even more expensive on Amazon.co.ukwhen I last checked plus .co.uk wouldn't deliver to an Australian address. (Game is Red Dead Redemption for the XBox 360 btw).
Amazon.co.uk don't deliver games to Aus anymore, although they will if you have an account with a UK address. 365games.co.uk deliver to Aus for free. Red Dead Redemption $61.82 delivered from www.365games.co.uk/xbox-360-games/red-dead-redemption At Amazon.com it costs $67.13 (AUD) + delivery to Aus. |
