Local distributor confirms pricing and availability of gaming peripherals for the "hardcore" gamers.

Gaming peripheral company Astro Gaming recently announced that it had appointed Bluemouth Interactive as its distributor for gaming accessories in the Australia and New Zealand region.

Previously, Astro equipment was only available to local customers who were willing to purchase directly from the company's website. Unfortunately, in many cases, the high cost of shipping negated savings made because of the weak US dollar. Bluemouth Interactive's existing partnerships with retailers, including EB Games, Target, and JB Hi-Fi, means that local gamers will be able to buy in-store and start listening immediately without waiting for delivery. Full pricing for the range is listed below.

The Astro A50 wireless headset: available in July for A$349.95 RRP

The Astro A40 wired headset and A30 wired headset: September release for A$299.95 RRP and A$229.95, respectively.

The Astro A35 wireless headset: slated for release towards the end of 2012 with a A$249.95 RRP.

You can get a logitech g930 for near 100 dollars, i initially chose this model then saw listed on ebay, then visited a website for a small importer and saw they had stock reduced even further (I think it went from like 140 to 100 or something). Its kinda no wonder they took so long to release Astro gear in australia because Australian hardware just has nowhere near the value of buying stuff from the states due to the premium put on it from shipping. Only a few very high volume lines can be put out at a good price. You might have a minor quality difference between the sound but I bet its minor if any at all... the 930 is 7 point surround.

and here is me thinking my Logitech G35 was pricey when it came out, i think i payed 170 for it, 229-299 is a bit rich.
