Anywhere in Asia, you'll find cheaper video games.  Some may be pirated though, so beware.

I believe there is a huge electronics centre in Kuala Lumpur (Can't remember it's name) that sells pretty much everything (although 80-90% of it isn't genuine or is pirated). IIRC you can buy pirated games there for like $2-5 Australian but I'm sure half of them won't work and obviously it is illegal.

Although legitimate software and electronics in Asia are still cheaper than in Australia, especially with games. The problem in Australia is we only really have one major games retailer so we have been subject to massive price hikes compared with the rest of the world.

ahh thanks guys!

@lynt.br: do they have pirated games for PS3? I thought blu ray would still be a fairly new technology for playing burnt games?

I checked everywhere, the PS3 is nearly impossible to hack. Are you talking about the xbox 360?

lol, I think the PS3 has much more complicated circuitry and the technology is much newer than the 360.
lol maybe we should stop discussing modchips cos its illegal and enwiabe will ban us  ;) :P
