    Found this article over at the Escapist and figured I would share it with some of the Australian and New Zealand DLPers.

    Considering how expensive games can be over there I thought this might be of some help.

    Cheers man, appreciated.

    I love seeing companies just do nice things like that. Makes me remember that it's not always such a cut throat world out there.

    Sweet. Nice to finally see. Now if only they would do this with books.

    Sword of truth paper back book in NZ about $25 US Dollars. In the US I've seen it for 12. Most books in NZ are at least double somtimes triple the price they are over seas.

    Nice, about time, might start a trend, then again maybe not.

    If you think that's bad... it cost me less to buy Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear on amazon, with international shipping, than buying JUST Wise Man's Fear in my local bookstore.

    Too bad it isn't just games. Even shit we make and export to others costs more. Fuck you, asshole companies. This is why we buy overseas.

    Don't use Amazon use http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/ free worldwide delivery and prices compare to or beat those on Amazon. I usually receive my order anywhere from 5-10 days after ordering.
