Well it might very well be $30 in Australia, I'm only talking about USD. Also, if you want to play on PS2 you're going to have to buy the HDD package which costs about $100 (again, USD), as well as the network adapter, which I forget the price of. All in all, that much alone is going to be the majority of the cost on the game. Especially because most people buy it, play for a few months, then declare "I hate this game!" and never touch it again.
