I love owning my games, the same as movies and music, however it bothers me that Australians pay too much for games. Fine we are a small market, but we are still customers and we deserve the same decent prices that other regions enjoy. Digital Downloads would be a way to keep prices down and would also solve the annoying issue of disc swapping that drives me batty. I would happily miss out on a paper manual if I was able to run a bought game without the disc in, and if the price was decent I would buy heaps more games then what I do now. Disc swapping is what kills PC gaming for me. Why give us the option to install so many games then force us to swap discs whenever we want to play them.. It just makes no sense!!
Game traders had import copies today for those interested in picking this up. I wouldnt worry to much about Nintendo Australia and there crappy release schedule. Just about all the games shops just import now. Was $69 dollars or something so even the price is pretty good. Copy I saw was Pokemon Diamond.
