Is The Sims the most progressive game ever? Maybe? Maybe.

But I really want to know how different the pricing is. For example, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified costs $72 AUD ($66.26 US) on Steam, but how much does it actually cost in your nation?
Gifting games from other countries would get us the full version of Left4Dead 2 or Saints Row IV for example, instead of what we get here.
Personally, I'd be just as happy to send money to someone overseas for them to gift me a copy of a game I want to get around restrictions like that (and get it cheaper to boot). Too bad you can't trust people on the internet.
My Steam name is middlerun, if anyone feels like gifting me a copy of Ittle Dew or The Swapper, that would be most bonzer.
Seriously though, if you want to give someone a game I'd be very grateful but don't need it. Cheers to all involved in this fantastic holiday.
This is me, by the way: http://steamcommunity.com/id/sjvan0/
Have you played Fallout 3?
Someone get me that! (Please, Nobody get me that!)
This would be me http://steamcommunity.com/id/DellikSaw and I will play pretty much anything eventually.

Also an Aussie on Steam (Zeonph). Could someone spot me Saints Row IV Super Dangerous Wad Wad Edition?
With saints row IV restricted and a itch named payday 2.....
Problem is Im unwilling to pirate

As an Australian, all I want is to play good games, in an unrestricted ratings system, at a reasonable price. There is no reason (other than greed) why a digital download should cost the same as a physical copy. It is a complete shamozzle.
And yes, I have many games, but that is because I don't pirate, and support the industry when I can afford to (which is getting less and less frequent).
Anyway, international love and trade negotiations ahoy!
AU = $89.99
US = $19.99

Anyway, if you felt like gifting a game, my steam account username is "StoneWorks". Please ensure the gifted game is on the cheaper side of the spectrum. Also, please leave a comment or post to my steam account to let me know so I can personally thank you.
If no one gifts, I'll assume the world has better things to do than randomly allocate funds to someone.

Anything Cheap
If anyone's interested to throw a game at one of the many Aussie Uni Students (Anyone else here go to ECU Mt Lawley?) here's my Steam.

I'm here to help you guys celebrate this new and wonderful 'help out an Aussie-day'. As you may have figured, I'm Australian and as such, I can barely afford to put food on the table thanks to the fact that Steam, iTunes and others are buggering us up the bum so hard you'd think they think we are Greek. Preposterous! We're humble Aussies and we don't condone that kind of behaviour!*
So what I'm trying to convey is that me and my seven kids** (who are sooooo, so hungry) would clearly benefit from your kind Steam donations. Feel free to forward a healthy dose of RPG's (or whatever you feel like really) to steam account Joos2000 (screen name Joos with a silly pumpkin hat man as an avatar).
*unless of course you are the kind of person who like being buggered up the bum of course; I'd hate to come across as discriminating against buggerers
** I actually don't have seven kids to feed. That was just added for dramatic effect. However, my hypothetical kids will still be very, very, VERY grateful for your kind donations.
Cheers,
//Joos
Hope all those mouths you have to hypothetically feed dont need dental work!
I'd like to participate in this newly established tradition by gifting to some aussies / kiwis who are looking for a game I have an extra copy of / can get cheaply.
Being from Europe, I know what it feels like to be screwed by "interesting" pricing policies that have no regard to relative income levels, the cost of distribution, or indeed common sense.
So please, post LINKS to your steam profiles (or better yet, wishlists) and I'll check if I can send you something. You can grab this link when looking at your profile page in a browser or inside steam (if you have ticked the "Display Steam URL address bar when available" in your interface settings).
Please don't just post your screen name or profile name, as these are often not enough to positively identify someone and I don't have the patience to google around.
Cheers and happy gaming down under!
My Steam account is http://steamcommunity.com/id/lizardon28/ or my email is lizardon28@gmail.com if you don't want to bother with friending me. It's pretty late here right now so it'll probably take me awhile to respond.
I can't think of any games I want in particular, asides from Saints Row IV, so how about your favourite cheap indie title?
Hopefully this gets enough support that soon "Gift an Aussie a Game Day" will be a public holiday.
EDIT: Well that was fast. GSC just gave me Amnesia. So as much as I'd love to continue getting free games, anyone looking for an Aussie should pick someone else.
Wishlist: http://steamcommunity.com/id/dogday/wishlist/
Really like the look of spelunky, but anything would be swell. be it a game you think I should try, or just the game that has the biggest price gap between US and AUS just to stick it to the man.
Either way, godspeed my friends across the oceans.
Edit: my spare copy of Portal has found a new home in Australia
