Really? Shops in Australia still want $10+ for PS3/360/Wii games, and that's for the cheap throwaway/casual titles. PS2 and original Xbox games go for $3-$5, GameCube go for $20+ (it must be that magical Nintendo logo on the cover; even shitty EA Sports titles are expensive on GameCube compared to PS2/Xbox). Even bottom-feeders like Cash Converters still want $8-$15 for PS3 games and lock them behind perspex doors despite having $50+ DVD/Blu-Ray box sets sitting in the open! Hence, all my collecting was directed to PS2 games (and the odd PS1 game). EB Games are practically 10% off brand new RRP when it comes to second hand games even during their "sales" so they're completely off-limits, especially when they mark up false prices like "WAS $99.99 -> NOW $80" when the RRP used to be $79.95 before the sale.
