Spotted at an Indonesia game shop by Japanese site Game Watch Impress. All these Wii games are priced at Rp20,000 or around $2.
The game shop, like so many in the region, also had binders and binders of pirated Xbox 360 games — here, XGame 360.

(AND add trailers!)
Shocking quality, but it happens! Mainly bought because downloading is nigh on impossible for the citizens. Be lucky if a 45 minute TV show takes a week to download!

Friday, February 10, 2012 at 4:50 PMGiven the fact that the monthly minimum wage is about USD/AUD 100-150 (depending on region), with average officeworker monthly salaries of USD/AUD 300-600, the majority of Indonesians won’t be able to pay for their games if it was full price. Indonesian gamers such as myself who go online will buy the full versions.
Anyway, as mentioned before this is not news.
