If it would help to have a US Side ship them to you let me know.
Do not mind taxes, but over 20% gets silly.

I use to be a member of the Military Book Club, however titles become limited over a period of time, and never seem to have the I titles I wanted. My english use to get his books from Hylands all the time. They use to be down in the bum end of Flinders street, bought modelling books there in my younger years.

Simple.Complaining is not going to lower the price.
It really doesn't matter what kind of economy your puny little australia or canada is in right now what matters is where the
majority of your consumers live and how much they are willing to pay and that's the bottom line and that will be the bottom dollar.
Dont insult other countries.The fact is Canada is the USA's largest trading partner,we also supply most of your oil and natural gas,second only to Saudi Arabia.Perhaps you should get your facts correct before insulting other countries.The economies of "puny" Australia and Canada as you put it are much stronger than the USA and will be for quite sometime into the future.

Im not talking about population/economic size.Im talking about the value of our economy.If you took the time to read this entire thread i was responding to Arjuna's explaination of the reason for the price.Burns chimed in to insult Australia and Canada as "puny" and the fact that Canada and Australian dollars are worth more on the world market as having nothing to do with the price of BftB.I simply pointed out to Burns that the overall economies of Australia and Canada are stronger than USA.Im talking also about overall unemployment rates to population,debt,dollar value on world market,inflation rates etc etc.Bigger is not always better.

What does all of this country stuff have to do with a computer game? Canada and Australia are excellent firends of the USA and solid Allies!
I think that it's uncalled for knocking them.

Because this thread has been taken over by the head banging nutters. They have no idea what they are saying but using the feedom that the internet provides to show their ignorance. Good on 'em ... and, pointless arguing with them.

Sorry, but I don`t buy your reasoning. Here`s a not so new idea, sell the base game at a decent price and then release DLC later at a reasonable price too. Lots of game publishers are doing it and are making nice profits doing so. You can make yourself a millionaire overnight by just writing a small app for iPhone or even iPad. 1 mil units sold on iPhone at 1 buck per unit = millionaire. Walmart are billionaires a few times over by selling stuff for cheap. That`s what the public wants, listen to your public.
Except that Walmart, small app makers, etc. are making money on an average people (millions of them), not on a small group of people that appreciate operational wargames.
DLCs are a great way to milk customers without them realising that they are being ripped off. The problem is that they require pretty stupid audience.

I believe that people have a right to their opionion, but now it's the same thing over and over. In another thread it's down to making fun of another's country. Whenever you start country knocking, people are going to stick up for their country. Stuff like that has no place on this type of board.
I want to talk about how the game works and how does it fit "History"...
