HeDanny: Australian prices are roughly 20% higher than US right now. Games that are regionally prices make that difference larger. Games that are Regionally priced here GOG do credit our accounts with the real difference. Even if it is only a few cents. Have not quite worked outwhere to find how much credit I have in my account as yet, but I know it is there .. somewhere.
Head to Account -> Library (or similar tabs such as wishlist or messages). Top right corner, under the main menu headers of Account, Basket, and Search you should see "Store credit balance: AUS$[cash amount]" or similar. Alternative, chuck something expensive into your basket and go to checkout. The default option is to use all your store credit to purchase, and you can see how much you have there. I think using store credit is an all or nothing deal though. I didn't see an option to use only part of my store credit when I used it up.

General life stuff: got dragged to a formal holiday party last night which has totally exhausted me. Did mean I'd left the house before the bundle deals ticked over, but thankfully I've not missed much. Now, just a final debate on Reprisal Universe and Halfway -- Repiral is a spiritual sequel to the Populus games (which I have) and Halfway looks thematically like Steam Marines (which, again, I already have) though without the rogue-lite elements. Neither are games on my "must have before the next sale" wantlist, and I ideally should play the games I already have but I just want to make sure no one has any compelling reasons why I should be buying them right now, as opposed to my scooping up my wanted games and working on my backlog until the next sale :)
