$1 USD = $1.24 AUD
$60 USD ≈ $75 AUD

I believe they might have factored in shipping costs and rating costs (you have to pay to get your game rated by the Government before you're allowed to sell it, hence why many of indies aren't selling their games).

I hope the cost goes down, but I won't know for a month or so. We shall see.

I'm telling him why I want to wait for a discount, since I doubt most people over in America are concerned with Australian game prices.

I would like to buy the game, when I feel I can purchase it at an appropriate price. I've made it quite clear I want to buy the game. You don't need to tell me how I should spend my money or not.

Nah, boycotts are ridiculous and don't work. Besides, GTA V's gameplay is at least decent, and I expect the story should be alright, and I'll like to try it out. I loved GTA IV for quite a while, and I hyped up GTA V way back when I was in High School.

neat
are they still releasing this? i am afraid that they're going to never release it ;-; (GTA V for PC)
McJob:
I'm going to be more optimistic and say this is the final delay.

The (potential) reasons they have delayed it a second/third time:


* Because it's not ready to be released; either because of bugs, or because the game has only just gone gold and they need time to print the retail discs.
* Because Take-Two/Rockstar's fiscal year ends soon after the 27th, and the new one begins shortly before the current release date (in other words, they want to have massive profit next fiscal year and/or avoid tax on this fiscal year).
* They want to push Heists on console first, as a last ditch effort to make sure that as many console players as possible buy those GTA V in-game money cards, since it's unlikely PC gamers will need the cards what with the ability to mod.
* They want to directly compete with sales of Bloodbourne, which releases on exactly the same day as the new release date.
