Price: [b]40 bucks[/b]
I walked out with a collection of games worth about 150.00 USD on only 90.00 USD (+ tax)
Fuck yes.
Just rented RE5 on Monday, does that count? If not, my most recent purchase was probably FarCry Instincts: Predator for the 360. $16 on eBay.
I had so much fun with Far Cry: Instincts: Predator. Shit was fun with a group of friends I had.
Maps are the only good part of it. Everything else is shit.

Sigh... How badly I want a Pokémon game :(
Emulators don't cut it, I don't have a gameboy or a DS.

How is platinum compared to Diamond? I bought Diamond off eBay, but it turns out it might be counterfeit. I haven't gotten into a Pokemon game since Sapphire (which was rad, with it's secret hideouts), so I wanted to know which was better.
Oh, I might be going to GS this sunday for the GameDays '09 thing. Chrono Trigger's on sale, also wanted to pick up N+

I would probably get Pt over Diamond and Pearl given the chance
Four weeks ago, I ordered a physical copy of SIREN BLOOD CURSE off of ebay, it arrived. But I got two...

God, I fucking hate Skate games. Not "Skate" but skating games.
It's really fun when you pull off a omfgsuperawesome trick and land it. [img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-c00l.gif[/img]
Where did you find a copy of subsistence. I swear there are like on 200 copies of those in the jolly ole land of oz.
Amazon
I baught H.A.W.X, Red alert 3 andddd Empire total war, and fear 2.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;14417311]I'm confused, is 120 AUD a lot? Cause I hear people get games for 100 AUD and 100 USD is a lot. It's like 40+ a standard console game.[/QUOTE]
It is quite a lot, which is why I buy off Steam.
Which would you rather: AU$70 (US$50) off Steam or AU$100 (US$70) retail.
And when Steam has sales, take Bioshock during the xmas sale for example, I bought that for a friend for AU$7.50 (US$5) and retail it was still AU$80 (~US$60).
Fortunately for me my ISP has a Steam Content Server which is free quota (doesn't count towards your download limit) for their customers so I don't mind downloading it, however lots of people here either get shit speeds (a mate of mine has wireless: tiny download limit and it's very expensive) or don't have the quota to download all 15GB of GTA IV.
Naturally, we Australian's would love it if Steam introduced Australian currency to the store but did what they did with the Euro and kept the prices the same as US$. I would love to buy a brand-spanking-new mainstream game for 50 bucks Australian.

As for my most recent game purchase: UT3 Black of Steam.

game is god damned broken. But going to get Xenosaga II tomorrow.
I heard Xenosaga II is pretty shitty. But if I like I, I'll get it and force my way through for the story.
Also, RE4 on the PC is shit. Without mods.

Assassin's Creed, 50% off in Steam's Ubisoft week.
It was worth it, I found it really fun.
I beat Assassin's Creed in a day. I wouldn't really say it's worth it's full price.
