Aussie time means it's now friday, right? The discount was 1 day only and timezone based, so yeah it sucks but you had less of a chance to get it, I don't have it in UK anymore but had the deal a few hours ago
Assuming it's "anti aussie" "lol no sale for aussies!!" sort of sucks, ubi/nadeo aren't dicks, it's just unfortunate, the game's pretty cheap normal price anyway

Yeah, it ends 1 minute before midnight in American time, perhaps something was wrong with the code to count down that made the deal stop at midnight in whatever timezone it is, that's the only thing that makes sense, see above, you're acting like ubi/nadeo decided to make the deal available for everyone but aussies when that's obviously not the case

im sure they would have at least said if the discount was region specific to avoid confusion and could be considered false advertising
i dont even know if the promo was even available for us earlier but i am thinking (hoping) the australian store has not yet updated their prices

it isn't region specific, and it's definitely not "false advertising" - there was most likely a mix up in how the script counts down time, either way it's still really cheap to buy

Anne BLONDEL-JOUIN @AnneBlondel says 3 pack and 5 pack are avaialbe to buy
at discount but there is no option for that (viewing US store by proxy) ..hmm i think it is very misleading
there is a great deal of savings to be had. i am not after a single pack of a 5 pack, we will be purchasing a great deal for our current and future clan members and for other things like events and competitions in our clan
single copy = $23.99
5 single copies * $23.99 = $119.95
one 5 player pack = $94.99
and that's not taking into account the discounts and the other games we hope to purchase
