What kinda of bus you riding that costs $5? Sounds like you got taken for a ride. :P
You're being facetious - I don't care where you live or what the exchange rate is, you can't tell me this tiny amount isn't comparable. You'd easily spend more on one fast food meal.
Public transport where you live must be awesome. This game costs almost exactly the same as a single fare where I live, and less than a day ticket!
