I would never. This is a new, sealed amiibo from a major retailer and I make sure all relevant parties involved will be compensated fairly for time and copyright.

You look at alllllll the indies that are out and they are priced comparatively across the board.
Jackbox, Mr Shifty, Graceful Explosion, FAST rmx, etc, etc

Doesn't matter if you buy them from the Aus or US eShops. They're pretty much 1:1 in terms of pricing (Give or take a buck here or there)
That's super good for the consumer!

On the other hand 'big name' publishers aren't giving us a fair go.
Here's a small cross-section of Aussie vs USA eShop pricing (I've rounded numbers up to keep it simple)

quote:

Zelda BotW - USA - $60USD ($80AUD)
Zelda BotW - AUS - $70USD ($90AUD) 11% increase

LEGO City Undercover - USA - $60USD ($80AUD)
LEGO CIty Undercover - AUS - $70USD ($90AUD) 11% increase

Super Bomberman R - USA - $50USD ($66AUD)
Super Bomberman R - AUS - $70USD ($90AUD) $27% increase

Has Been Heroes - USA - $20USD ($26AUD)
Has Been Heroes - AUS - $30USD ($40AUD) 33% increase

Puyo Puyo Tetris - USA - $30USD ($40AUD)
Puyo Puyo Tetris - AUS - $45USD ($60AUD) 50% increase :siren:

Absolutely shameless price gouging on PPT.

Isn't Australia's minimum wage more than twice the U.S. minimum wage? There are lots of factors people never consider.

Because Aussies are willing to pay for things if the price is fair and comparative. We're just more likely to pirate poo poo if you're ripping us off :colbert:

Think the only games I'll be grabbing this month are Wonderboy + Mario Kart

One thing to note is that a lot of indies are pricing comparatively across the globe.
Wonderboy is $26AUD which is currently $19.70USD that's good! I don't mind that at all. That's really really good for the consumer!

A major publisher does a 50% price hike just-because-australia? Get fuccccckkkkkeddddddddd

The joycon warranty is good for a year right? Just making sure I can wait until I have nothing to play or get another pair of joycons.

I read somewhere that Joy-cons are 90 days, tablet is 1 year. Too lazy to get the paperwork from the box, you might wanna send them in soonish.

They told me 90 days for my joy con when I sent it to get fixed. (and that they extend the warranty from the day of repair.) I shipped my joy-con Tuesday and got it back today.

Finished Plague of Shadows. Still don't really like the way Plague Knight moved at all, especially compared to Spectre and Shovel Knight. But I do enjoy his crazy robe where all of your effects are completely random. Someone said he's better because the other characters are sluggish and he has great mobility, but it took me eight hours to finish his campaign compared to about five for the others.
