It's the logical extension of our pro consumer laws into the global digital marketplace, they can provide the goods at a reasonable price, without price gouging, or they can have their content pirated.
Despite the obvious flaws in your proposal. I'd like to see other markets in NZ be held responsible for blatant price gouging long before videos games/software were looked at.
LESBI'ONEST HERE Lias was actually only ever talking about the "Games " Digitial Goods" aka Hookers were price gouging, i mean if you can root in a bar for the cost of two or three spirits drinks, then $50 for blowie is just price gouging.. and $180 per hour for GF experience is just gouging as well. especially since Lias pays for everything with reach arounds.

My theory for digital goods, is that NZ law should be changed so that any digital good (game, tv show, whatever), should be made available by the supplier/copyright owner at the cheapest price anywhere in the world, or it becomes legal to copy it because they are illegally price gouging. Would also apply if they decline to make it available in NZ. It would kill regional pricing dead.
To take an example from SteamPrices, currently Silent Hill Homecoming is USD$39.99 (NZD$61.11), GBP£17.99 (NZD$41.81), or EUR€19.99 (NZD$32.54). It's also not currently available on steam in NZ. Under my proposal, it would be legal to pirate it because it's not offered here, but even if it was offered here they would have to price it at the lowest global price(NZD$32.54) or again it would be legal to copy it.
It's the logical extension of our pro consumer laws into the global digital marketplace, they can provide the goods at a reasonable price, without price gouging, or they can have their content pirated.
I don't really see why we shouldn't extend the pricing requirements to physical goods, I they sell it anywhere in the world at Cost X, the price in NZ should only ever be Cost X + shipping to NZ.

Wait, does this affect the Humble Bundles as well?
The more money you pay, the more the Government gets?
affects anything deemed to be a service or goods that sells more than a stupidly low threshold, netflix, steam, amazon books, itunes, etc etc

Actually, I reckon it’ll bring in a wave of overseas based credit card accounts,
Actually if you look at the way the law and legislation is written the end user is dictated by the billing address for the end user.
HELLLO VISA application for the USA, or USA visa prezzy cards.
Create foreign steam account and pay with foreign visa or prezzy card and then ‘gifting’ purchases to themselves (real steam account).

VPN ho...
I wouldn't use a VPN to avoid GST. Not worth the bother, plus I have no issues with paying taxes, gotta pay for roads and schools.
I may use it to avoid regional pricing.
i pay my rates and my taxes, but paying for DLC is bad enough without be taxed on it ontop off, i use digital companies so i dont have to pay the premium have having to pay some twat at EB's markup and markup for import and gst.

GST hits Steam and other digital stores next Oct
Games purchased on Steam will be subject to GST from next October, Revenue Minister Todd McClay says.
As reported by Stuff, from October 1, a GST charge of 15 per cent will be added to Netflix subscriptions, iTunes downloads, Amazon e-books, and other digital products and services purchased offshore.
Any foreign company that sells more than NZS$60,000 of digital services to New Zealanders each year will be required to register with Inland Revenue and collect the GST on its behalf.
Those avoiding GST by using a VPN to make it appear they lived outside the country would be liable for a fine of up to $25,000, said McClay. It will be up to the IRD to implement the rules.
However, those circumventing geo-blocking to access content would probably not be liable for fines, said Deloitte tax partner Allan Bullot.
The tax is designed to close a loophole under which digital products and services can be bought from overseas firms tax free. It is expected to raise about NZ$40 million a year for the government.
The Government first announced its plans to impose the so-called "Netflix tax" in August.
Several countries, including South Africa, Norway and Japan, have introduced similar regimes to that proposed by the new legislation, with Australia set to follow in July 2017.

I paid like $20 for BLOPS from a russian cd key website, and still felt I paid too much.
you pay more for Russian hooker blowjobs and they last about as long as the story line and gameplay frrom COD.

Wait a minute, is this broken thingy in the yoke you're selling?
NOPE. I have the warranty replacement ones in a box thats what i am selling, the parts are to fix a mates X52 Pro the parts are in the x52 pro and the X55 are the same in the throttle units i am selling the X55, but i would love to be able to find the parts as i started an arduino project to build my own flight panel. since the Warthog setup i have doesnt have enough momentary toggles which most games use rather than on of hold style toggles.

My spec sheet says they have mid point detent.
yeah but i think they have the switch on the midpoint detent. but no push momentary switch..

PANASONIC - EVU-E3JFK4B54 have a look at this?
danm close, but no center dentent, which i really need to be able to pause between a + axis and a -axis ok so momentary push is the switch type, the detent is not switched its just a mid position, as far as i know, i might break out the multimeter tonight and just check the centre detent is not switched as well.
