Hi fellow Australians.

Just get it here instead: http://www.mightyape.com.au/product/PC-Games/Metro-2033-The-Last-Refuge/3988600/

$10 delivered - full retail, Steam support in box regardless. Sure, Mighty Ape often skimp on the postage packaging quality UNLESS you leave instructions to wrap it well (like I did for Mafia 2 CE), but they deliver from NZ within about a week and it beats these stupid nice-beach-tax prices. Patience is a virtue.

Buy it! It's a fun little adventure. It's short and sweet, like Amnesia, except you shoot stuff and the textures are really good and the framerates can be bad.

Can't wait for Metro 2!

The game is awesome and is a great buy at this price. For those of your wondering about performance it runs and looks great on older pc's medium settings. I played through it on medium details my first time with a 8800gts and a e8400 on XP and it ran really well.
