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)

For the record, Mass Effect 1 is $23.64 (and that's including postage to Australia).

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.

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.

Games are cheap in the US but right now, the exchange rate between the Aussie dollar and the Pound really favours us buying things in Pounds.
