Here in Ireland, I've resorted to having games purchased in the US and shipped out here, just to get some fresh blood in my DS collection. Sigh... Hey Kirbinite, I feel your pain.

Or not, I'm an exchange student from Alaska in Denmark right now and deeply regretting not bringing my gba, or buying a DS before I left. Near everything is directly twice the price it is in the US. As in most console games are $100. Tax on importing is insanely high, so you won't get any slack there. A danish friend of mine (whose DS I've had an affair with for the past couple weeks) said that he gets them from an online store that makes the packages look like they're from Sweden to save on shipping. Not the most honest way, but gamers can get desperate. That's why I suppose the only gamers here are PC gamers. Omigosh like 10 euros more for a video games!!

I'm totally in agreement, everything I make is going to sell for less than $30. I think Bonnie has a voice for radio.

I forget that such things really do work overseas. I wonder how stores can get away with these prices when things are available so cheap online. I guess, like you said MD^2, it's for kids whose parents are afraid of the internet. Also, you're probably right: flirting in exchange for discounts = no good. Now sexual favors for free games... :-) Thanks, Zorniki, and good suggestion with Amazon. I forget that such things really do work overseas.

The pricing is sometimes ridiculous, especially compared to the US tags.. I mean 60â`¬ for a gamecube game or 50â`¬ (ahh well 49.99) for Tony Hawks Sk8tland for DS .. that´s what i call insane! Austria might not be the place for the cheap ass gamer after all! I´m just glad I´m able to import all the gaming goodness for my DS from the US and Japan. Though I´m not a student anymore and do a decent amount of money here, things need to change, as stated in one Escapist article on how the gaming market should develop in a way the movie industry did. So long fellow gamers of Europe, keep ur eyes open! Ebay and even Amazon do offer new games for a tremendously lower price sometimes... greets from Austria & thx for your inspiring articles Bonnie!
