No, its simply that all the game companies are used to charging $100 for a new game, as the AUD was 1/2 the USD years ago. $50 for a new game in America, so double that for here. Now that our economy (was) getting stronger, calls went out to reduce the price of games, but they don't want to cut into their profits.

Rule of thumb: Buy from overseas, it will turn out cheaper. We are paying 20-30 dollars more than we should be.
