Makes you wonder why shipping it to Australia is supposedly responsible for the higher price when shipping it privately is 50$ cheaper.
Similar here actually, as I have laid out before, games for the PS3 for example usually cost 70EUR here, I order them from the UK for around 50 usually, on top of it I get guaranteed english voice files(german versions sometimes do and sometimes don't have these included but we also censor violence so publishers often decide to release only the cut version here). Basically I get like 3 or 4 positive things from ordering from the UK with the only downside being that I have to wait a bit (2 to 9 days) for the game to arrive.
Now all this talk about different taxes etc. is pretty funny and stuffs but somehow I don't really buy it, maybe for us it's the dubbing but then games have to be dubbed in english as well so that excuse would only be valid for movies.
Someone is doing something wrong and I don't see why anyone should support that with money.

If I were you Mikeus I would keep ordering from the UK until they make that illegal(someone actually proposed that here ).
