Why does Australia have to wait for good movies.

If any of you are australian, you have to admit that blu ray support here is shithouse.

I remember reading in the paper that "blu ray adoption is reaching "acceptable" levels". I guess because the PS3 is doing pretty well down here. Australia is a pretty wealthy country and most of its citizens appreitate the revolutions in technology. I also wanna add that some of you may fear a US recession and that it may impact blu ray sales. Australia would be immune to it as most of our financial ties are with china.

Anyway, why the hell are we getting the bums rush! We want the movies, we want the players and we want the games. Dont think that australia wont appreciate these things because they do!

Blu ray has been doing ok in australia during the war, HDDVD never had a precence here at all. But i feel that its gonna go downhill very fast. Australians are stuck, usually we only have 2 choices when it comes to purchasing a movie, that is buy the DVD or wait countless months for a blu ray to turn up. Its a joke! Our month by month release schedule is shit, end of story. Blu ray is going to die in australia if nothing is done. $50 for 1 movie is NOT ACCEPTABLE, thats so expensive it should be a crime.

Its all well and good to say "just import", thing about the ma and pa kind of people that want a blu ray player and like to go down to the shop and buy them? Thats called supporting australian retail!

A good example of what im talking about is the PAL release of Rock Band, its so expensive and late that its basically boycotted, no one i know wants it now. Its just wrong.
