I also hate paying AUD$99 for a game, but for games I really must have now I
don't have a problem, like the starwars games. for doom3, I am between flash
cash hits, and I'm off on holidays next week, so I cant buy it for another
month. that really sux as all games so far have always been at the right
time when I'm loaded.
