    100 Aussie Bucks...that’s €61.35 & $91.45 or 56.59 Pounds which is more than most of us paid for the SF Edition of ETW.

    It might be nice to have Shogun and MTW updated to work on my machine but I don’t know that it is worth that much.


    As to undisclosed artifacts from NTW...who wants a pig in a poke?

    yes, computer games are OBSCENELY expensive in australia... no where else is charged as much as us, and yes we like complaining aboutit as much as possible too lol

    100 dollars is the standard price of a new game here unless its a collectors edition, so that would be like buying a new game which isn't too bad. Although rethinking the issue I'm suprised they didn't wait until 6 months after NTW...

    100 for a PC, and now its 110 for a console.

    Import from the UK. Much, much cheaper.

    Actually, I very strongly doubt that they did. In fact, I'd bet money that they didn't.

    CA/Sega has been selling the Gold/Eras edition of STW and MTW for years now, but without bothering to make either one compatible with newer hardware. (Trust me, the number one complaint I see from people regarding these two games is that they can't get them to run on their modern PC's, with video cards and/or video drivers often being the main culprit.) Why would they invest the resources do do so now?

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    That was a rhetorical question. Answer: They wouldn't.

    Well, since I can practically guarantee that neither game will run on your machine anyway, you're better off just saving your money. Seriously.

    Wow, I thought they were USA $'s for a second and was like... And then I realized it was Aussie $'s... but then I realized that the yare almost even after American currency tanked... And then I face palmed myself that the publishers never update their pricings to reflect actual exchange rates *facepalm*.

    I always heard games were expensive in Australia, but this much??
    I can't complain about game prices in Norway anymore.

    And the cynic in me thinks CA/SEGA is trying to boost NTW sales with whatever they can. I'm fairly certain some key management suits have noticed the Metacritic score.

    And I hope, really hope that SEGA lets STW & MTW be available on gog.com in the future. Thats a guaranteed 20 $ from me.

    This much?

    Base price since forever (in my memory) has been $100.

    I guess the extra money must be used to pay off the pirates that operate out of South East Asia.
