$109 here, are we getting ripped off?

I am thinking of ordering online from the USA if cheaper.

Anyone know any sites I can order from?

    That was the AUD price I saw in the Sunday Herald Sun.
    It didn't mention the store, was just a price in the games review section.

    Being an American transplant in Australia I can say the HIGH HIGH price of video games here is depressing. And sadly, just like DVD's, video games are region coded, so unless you've modded your PS3 ordering the game from America won't work here.

    Oh, and just looked it up on an American site and it's $59.99

    I thought it'd start at $100 then drop?
    I've spent about $200 recently on PJ20 stuff, Nirvana stuff.
    Need to wait and get it another time lol.

    Sorry, my bad! I just assumed the PS3 was without actually knowing.

    Ok, so if it is region free, why are the games so much more??

    Sorry, bad info on my part, from wikipedia

    The PlayStation 3 is region-free for PS3 games[2][3]. There's only region locking for backwards compatible PS2 and PS1 games, as well as DVD and Blu-ray Disc movies. Additionally, some games separate online players per region, such as Metal Gear Solid 4 Online. A PSN store only contains content for its own country, for example the UK store will not supply usable map packs for an imported US copy of Call of Duty 4. The PS3 actually supports hardware region locking for PS3 games as well, based on Blu-ray regions,[4] but as of current it is unused and all current region lockouts and separations are about online services. The PS3 also restricts the access to PlayStation Network by region, such as the online store, news and upcoming releases.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think it will play all region games (if you ever want DLC for the game and got DLC from the UK store for a US coded game though, that won't work). Edit - just saw your new post.
    As for the prices, I'm not sure.
