For example, I could easily call a person who goes out to buy FIFA '12 a douche just because FIFA '10 is like $20 and is similar.

....blasphemy!

+1 Somye! FIFA isn't just a game....it's a way of life! I'm holding out for FIFA 13!!!!!! (to add to my '07, '08,'09,'10,'11,'12)

Thanks for all the replies guys..........
Available at office works?

I live in Bairnsdale so can't answer that for sure sorry! Mum just got it at the little newsagents, so I'd say OfficeWorks should have them.
Looking on their website, they seem to have the retractable ones, mine has a cap as was shown in the pic.
Well worth the effort to go and get one i reckon.

Like I said, with a normal pen I average between 1100-1200 words per hour. With a fountain pen I can write between 1300-1400, if not more. So I'd say it's worth the extra money if it works for you.

That is might thought exactly! But I know my brother will buy it the day it comes out, so I'm going to have to lock it in a vault somewhere. The timing could not be worse!

What fountain pen do you use? And in an exam would you take in refills to be safe?

A Sheaffer (not sure what the thickness is) and yes, I take in refill cartridges.

Whoah! Just had a quick look and some Sheaffers are like $300+ from Pen Palace in Melbourne.

If you don't mind me asking, is your pen in this price range or can you get good ones for less? And if it isn't too hard to say, what sort of price range should I look at for a reliable fountain pen?

I bought a pack of 3 fountain pens, a tutorial book and about 15 ink cartridges for $20! It was on sale from $40, but there's no way I'd spend more than $10 for a pen haha.
