# 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 :(
