# I think the most I paid for an N64 game was 80 quid
for ISS 64 when it was first released. But that was still cheaper than Samba de Amigo, and Steel Battallion is going to make a serious dent in my wallet.

# you're going to buy that?
I tried playing it in a video store and it was ridiculous. i never understand why they make you guys pay so much more for your games.

# Already got it on pre-order.
It looks like it is going to be an absolutely top game, and there is already a sequel in development which will use the same controller, so spread over the cost of two games it won`t be too bad.

# I guess
but i've learned that add-ons never sell or catch on. especially if they're $200 and that's US. I can't imagine what it would be to get one in the UK.

# 150 quid, but the price is falling as more people pre-order

# that's like what
almost $300? I feel bad that you guys in the UK can't get the same games I have out here. You're missing out.

# Are you Australian?
£150 is closer to $230US. Double the number for Australian, and add a couple of zeros for Canadian.

# no
i'm an american. I thought the exchange rate was almost 1.6:1 for every dollar. Guess it's changed since I last check it.

# It IS 1.6:1 (finally, again!)
which is to say, not 2:1 - so £150 isn't gonna be $300, is it?

COme on, I know the schools out there are crap, but really!

# That's what import stores are for.
Besides, we got Kuru Kuru Kururin for the GBA and the US didn`t :)

# I know!
bastards, and you guys are getting Doshin the Giant as well. I'm thinking I'm going to have to import that game along with the freeloader if it's ever released. I don't want to chip my gamecube.

# Except I can`t get Doshin as I have a modded Japanese Cube.
I know I could get the Japanese version, but then I won`t be able to read it :(
