I'm pretty sure Mirror's Edge was released a long time after Escapist sponsored him, it could be possible that they only pay for the games they want him to review, and he has to buy all the games he wants to review himself.

Or hes just a lying Australian.

or maybe they give him money to buy games with, within a budget, and he paid 100 dollars for mirror's edge, out of that budget

It's stupid us Aussies have to even pay $100 for a fucking game. Used to be $120 when the 360 first came out and there'll be a $110 game pop up from time to time.

Well really, how much is the Australian Dollar worth?

$1AUD = 83¢ CAD

Though the value difference can't be that broad. Must be a publishing thing, like less people in Australia buy video games.

A lot of people buy video games here.
And it really does bug me how much video games cost compared to america. When I lived there I wouldn't of cared if I paid full price for a game, but all the games here seem so over priced to me.

In that case it's because you people will buy the games anyway.

game in canada is around 60 dollars

that's 72.42 austrailian, so you're paying approximately 23 dollars canadian more than we are

shit

Actually I must say, when the stock market went all silly like I felt a bit better about buying games.
But before that the AUD was getting closer and closer to the USD, it was almost dollar for dollar at several points. I think that really bugged me the most.

Games have always been that price from memory. The only changes where increases for the 360 and PS3 games.
I'm under the impression most people don't know how much games cost in other countries.

I'm well aware but I can't really do much about it, I can import games from the UK though, right? Maybe it'd work out cheaper if I did that? Seems like there's more hassle there though than simply walking into a store and buying a game which could take a few minutes as apposed to days, for shipping etc which might occur under getting a game from overseas.

Stop bumping this if he hasn't made a new review yet!!!

Conveniently 12:00 EST. Right on the money.

Conveniently, by the time I get home from school.

Yahtzee unleashed it all in Sonic now and is behind the cigarette.

I'm surrprised he didn't review Prince of Persia... I had $10 on that...

he'll probably do it next week

Damn, that was a good episode.  He started to lose his calm a bit into it.

Everything he said about Sonic is fucking true.
