$60.
It's harder to find a game that ISN'T shipping at $60 (aka $59.99) in the States.
Destiny, for example, was $60 for the normal edition of the game.
The edition I got, the Digital Guardian Edition (which included the game, preorder DLC, and the Expansion Pass), cost $90.
IMO it was worth it. Destiny is addictive.

What is minimum wage in Australia?
Eagle out.
"Feelings pass right through you, don't they? So cold and unforgiving in
every choice you made in battle. Purest soldier... I need you to be strong.
Strong enough to do what you've never done in your life. Can you be
strong enough to allow yourself to be... Can you just be human?"
For adults, it's $16.87 per hour ($14.80 USD), but it fluctuates depending on what you do. If you want the fine print, it's here. That's from 2013 so it's a bit off, but it's the newest one I could find.
EDIT: I just looked up yours, and it's not pretty... As a 15 year old, my minimum is almost as much as your adult one...
Anyway, this is getting way off topic... I want Destiny really badly! It looks pretty good.

You don't know what Destiny is until you do the Vault of Glass :o So much fun!
Myth I was agreeing with almost all of this until the MMO part. While they didn't market it as a MMO there are very obvious MMO elements in this game. A RNG loot system, grinding out reputation/faction and comms to get epic gear, PvP and PvE gear (Crucible & Vanguard Armor), Class based build system. These are elements that Bungie took from MMOs and very early marketing for this game was calling it a gun based MMO. But there are a lot of things that I did agree with. Such as how they are doing the story. The best game I know of that I can compare this to is the MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. All the end game content is related to the over all story arc of the game. Over the past almost 3 years they have expanded the story through the use of content patches. Difference was, like most MMOs as myth pointed out, they used a subscriber based system so you already payed for the DLC with your sub were as with this game you are going to have to buy the DLC. It is actually cheaper in the long run this way for the consumer instead of the constant sub.
Give the Bungie time people. This is clearly a game they plan to develop over a long period of time. This is Bungie for christ sake, since when has Bungie ever gave the fans the middle finger and just stop developing games in favor of the fans? Bungie said fuck you to Microsoft and I doubt they will let Activision get in their way as well.
Sorry if I was unclear. I didn't intend to say the game didn't have similarities to MMOs, I was just saying they didn't market it as one, instead using the term "persistent world FPS."
The game irrefutably has similarities, although to be fair most of the similarities you mentioned aren't tied with MMOs completely. Nearly all loot-based games have RNG systems, ranging from Diablo to Borderlands, PVP/PVE gear is common in every game that has connections between the environments (even H4's loadouts would be a very basic form of this, where you might set it up differently in MM compared to campaign), and class distinctions are in everything from Divinity to TF2.
Feature X might be in lots of MMOs, but that feature is also present in lots of non-MMO games as well, so calling it an "MMO Feature" isn't very accurate, because it's also a "FPS Feature" and a "RPG Feature" and a "RTS Feature" etc., etc.
