    Awesome, Just a question everyone, Why is it always so god damn expensive in Australia, Its $35 American which = $43.32 Aus, So why does it cost so much more!

    Buy at release, myself. I can't afford to pre-order atm.

    It really annoys me it comes out so late in Australia. It means I have to spend about 45 days hearing about it and I don't even get to try it without buying an american version or getting some of of emulation device. And on another forum they were gonna have a tourmament in May and I'm one of few who can't be in it. :(

    And pokemon games always cost heaps in Australia, R/S/E and LG/FR STILL sell for $59.95 in the shops despite how long they're been out. They haven't dropped a single dollar for nearly a year.

    Hey well if Aus is getting it possibly in June... I'm guessing the NZ release will be around then as well. I hope the prices will have dropped enough by Christmas to get the English version... xD

    As I usually do, i'll keep an eye out. Starting from my birthday (April 19th). Hopefully us Aussies and New Zealanders are lucky?

    But I doubt you'll see a price drop by Christmas thro. Drops in price for Pokemon games are as rare as hens teeth, from my experience. Of course i'm known to be wrong too....

    xD, yup. Hopefully it'll be out quick.

    Yeah, I have seen that too. Like Emerald still costs NZD$80... original release price and its a GBA game!!! So I'm guessing this will be up there still too, unless Boxing Day Sales come and save me.

    for those who are wondering why it costs so much is because when you shp something from another region u need to pay the ship or airplane. so the extra money your paying is for the shipment to the city or country. none the less just get it inported =P

    Australian Release Dates


    We have a thread discussing a possible Australien release date already, so I'm just going to merge these two.
