But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Well i was looking in the thread about the list of all stores selling Halo 3: ODST. And i was looking at Australia and stopped at JB-Hifi and the price of the game was only $79.00 (regular edition)? Plus you get a bonus 200ms points (but it says if you order which most likely means pre-order). Most shops in Australia are selling the regular game for $99.00. Except I don't know if you can pre-order for Sgt. Johnson.
Anyway this is most likely true, but why would they sell it for $21 cheaper than most stores?
$100 Australian = $60 American. Subtract the $21 off $100 = $79. Subtract $21 off $60 US and you get 40-50 US Dollars.
ODST at JB-Hifi.

Uhh...Subtracting 21 Australian dollars is less than subtracting 21 USD. So it's probably equivalent to something in the 50s.

Touchdown! Hit it Marines!!

Yeah I saw that. And the 200MSP aren't anything to sneeze at. I wanted the Limited Edition though, with the controller so, don't know if I'll be getting the 200MSP :(

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

$100AU =/= $60US
$100AU = ~$72US

AHEM;
$100AUD=$84.00USD
$80AUD=$67.20USD

Even with the discount it's selling at a higher price than the aveage US game price.

Remember as well, $100 is just the RRP, JB-HiFi can price it at whatever price it wants as long as it can pay the wholesaler (Microsoft) the full wholesale price (probably about $50-$80AUD).
