I would definitely agree with the games are overpriced comment. As much 
as I love computer gaming I always try and avoid paying the 'full' 
$99.99 AUD price of games when they hit the shelf (that price includes a 
10% goods and services tax). This isn't just a Doom3 thing either, I 
can't remember the last time I purchased a game at that kind of price 
and thought it was worth it.
