Not everywhere; In some parts of the world AAA games still cost $100. It's not just games either; in Australia the digital download version of Adobe Creative Suite is 57% more expensive than it is in the US. Thats a huge price difference when dealing with $4000 software.

Prices here have not come down at all; services like Steam should let us buy games at US prices but most companies use regional pricing on Steam so we still have to pay more (and accounts get locked if you try to sneak around buying games from other regions)




That's true. Software is definitely more expensive in other parts of the world. I was just thinking from the North American point of view. Thanks for bringing up a good point.
