Well, SH5 might be a measly US$49 for you guys, but it's US$82 here...the standard price for all new full releases. That's an extra 67% (and that's not currency conversion, as our $ is roughly equal to 92 US cents).
On principle I'm very particular about what full priced games I buy, because there are many that are easily worth that amount. Alas, there are also many that are not. Fortunately, most that are not worth it get the more budget AU$70 or AU$50 price tags. Were SH5 AU$50 or even AU$70, I'd buy it no questions. AU$90, while not an issue for me (I can spend more on lunches), still invokes value for money considerations and comparison and principal aspects.
