Australia's dollar is worth more than USA's yet we are still paying nearly double for almost everything, can someone explain this to me like i still wet the bed.

I understand that shipping and freight costs some money but i do not believe it justifies a 50% markup. I'll use an example in the form of the very popular and soon to be released game, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3. Today MW3 was announced for pre-order to Aussies for the ripe price of $99.99AUD. America has had the right to pre-order for a few weeks now and their price is only $59.99US. Just to be clear, the prices are from Steam, a digital delivery system that allows gamers to get their games through the internet. As you can see, the prices reflect a 40% difference for no real reason, especially since the Aussie dollar is worth more than the American dollar. Now that is just one example but there are thousands of others.

Prices are largely set by how much you'll pay. You used to pay $100 for games, and so the people who sell them to you have no reason to reduce the price unless people stop buying it.  

Also, unless your (average) cost of living has increased or your (average) wage has decreased, then the price of the USD (which is variable) doesn't really affect you.
