$39.95...I wonder why it's $10 dollars more here. It not like they had manufacturing costs or anything...

Also a PG rating is lower than I thought, considering it got M in America.

Because Australia is the country that makes everything expensive. It's impossible to get anything for a fair price here. I'm moving to England as soon as I can. How do they expect us not to pirate tv shows when it'll take a year for the Breaking Bad finale to come to channel 7. GTA V costs double what it costs in the states. I'm sick of this goddamn country! And the Abbott NBN will be the death of us all!

Sorry, I'm feeling passionate about how lucky I am to be in this country but fuck everything's expensive.

AA5 in $39.95 eh? Well, *shrug* what you gonna do. It is as it is and it's a decent price for a game...fuck this country.

Come on, 40 Australian Dollars are ~ 27.50 €, so it's a little bit more expensive than in Europe (and it's a steal there).

The 3DS Store pricing is awful. I remember it cost me roughly the same amount to buy VLR digitally as it did to mail-order it. I did see some games go for upwards of $70 (Yanks'd complain if a console game cost that much!), so I guess it's not that bad. 33% mark-up isn't that terrible all things considered, but it's still disappointing from Capcom (who we all had such faith in, right?).

And yeah, PG is amusing given all the other ratings. Apparently it's "extreme in impact" in America, but "mild in impact" in Australia. Either all other countries are being overly protective, or we're going to see some traumatised Australian kids :P The OFLC is inconsistent if anything, after all.

It costs ten dollars to remove all the blood and/or bribe the Australian rating group to look the other way.

I did check the conversions, and it is roughly around the same as them, yet I'm also talking about other things.
Spoiler:
Like Apple and their high prices, and how Generally 3DS games are around$20 higher than America, and our currencies are similar. An example being the new Pokemon is only $40 in US, but $60 here.

I'll still get the game though (I'm too big a fan to miss the game!)
