I wonder what effect this has on the Australian Game stores.

They don't sell PC games at all in them and only offer the consoles games, so cutting out a huge chunk of the market straight up.

EB Games(game stop) in Australia must be doing it tough as they have had a perpetual sale on for the last 2 years or there abouts.
