If im not mistaken it was $59.99 before isnt it? how come it has became $89.99?
Btw, please let me know where to buy cheaper/cheapest/value buy Black ops.
My location is Australia Melb. Black Ops is not available for Aust from D2D($59.99)... cr*p...

The price for games in Australia is much higher compared to Malaysia due to regional pricing. There's plenty of complaints in the steam forums about this if you look around. Only some game publisher does this so it may not affect all the game prices. Short of buying it while Malaysia, the only other option would be to get someone to buy the game for you and gift it to you. Not to sure whether the gifting part would work but it has been mentioned before in the steam forums.

price for video games in aussie memang lebih mahal one. there is no mistake.

Im thinking of buying the cd key from lyn dealers and activate on my steam... wonder it works...

Gifting should work like usual.

If I'm not mistaken if someone gifts L4D2 to AU user, the version they get is the uncensored version.

supposed it workds. but beware that there are retail box version having region lock although it uses steam to activate. the most recent case is Fallout New Vegas

Might as well dont buy. It's a garbage game as the Australian servers are all playing on one messy choke point filled map. Due to that, the multiplayer has dropped from great to mediocre.

Anyway, this site would be your best friend, if you are in Australia.

The only down side is, you need to wait 2 weeks for the game to arrive. I always buy games from there as im also in Australia too.

lulz all aussie servers running hardcore nuke town domination 24/7 liao ar?

I'm so sick of your complain. please stay on the topic

I am on topic, as i gave a link on the online store that most Australians buy from.

Pretty much no one get games retail there, like Malaysia, because it's priced very high.

Black Ops is a garbage game, because it's almost impossible to find a reasonable game now. Not everyone buy games just to play co-op with each other.

AUD55 sounds good. 1 stupid question here hope u guys dun mind spoon feeding me just this time... is PC game considered a console?
cause they says

"All of our games are PAL or PAL compatible which means they will work on Australian and New Zealand consoles.

All PS3, DS, PSP games are not region locked and will work in any country."

I live in Perth. I almost never ever play on Nuketown. Get with it

No, PC games are region free there. If the game is listed, it should be ok to buy.

My server browser is filled with nuketown. Not fun at all.

Black Ops is now available with 20% discount in Direct2Drive. Just use the hailtothechief promotion code during checkout to get yourselves entitled.

Gifting is indeed possible to those stuck in Australia. My friend who lives in Perth had someone from the States gift L4D2 to him (the Australian one was censored/non-gorey/whatever lame crap) and it worked like Magic Johnson.

OH AM GEE I FOUND YOU I IS TEH #1 STALKERZ

You win a whole pie, my friend
Yeah I also had Left 4 Dead 2 gifted from my dad in the UK. THen again, this was before I moved over LOL
But IIRC this game is region free or something, you could import any old copy and get it to run in Australia.

@Cheesinium Thanks for linking up ozgameshop.com, I just found out about it and had just received my copy of Super Street Fighter IV from there. Only thing is that this thing was shipped from England. Why in the hell is an Australian game shop based in England >_>
