Publishers will often claim that games cost more outside the US because of the conversions required to the PAL format, which obviously required extra resources, and was usually responsible for the delays.
I don't know whether this still applies or not, but regardless, the difference in game prices is too much.
I don't know whether anything will ever change with prices, if we vote with our wallets, and opt to stop buying games, choosing to rent them, or whatever, then they could put the prices up. Buy more, and they will assume the price is good.
You could try a mass approach, write to the companies on behalf of the MyMedia group of sites (I assume there are a fair few members) stating that all the members refuse to buy any more games until the price is brought in line with US prices... I don't know how many members would be prepared to go without their games to get the point across. Doing this publicly, including notifying papers, may well get enough publicity to put the point across, and maybe further backing from non-MyMedia people. Either way, it would raise the awareness of the MyMedia sites too, which = more advertising! :^)
