AUS Pricing?

Post by Toddster »

Anyone know the pricing for Australia? EB has it for $88, but WTF, it's download only so they screwed up AND I thought this game is sold in parts (Canyon, Valley ect..) so it shouldn't be fully priced anyway. It's $25 US so it should be the same for us, even though I know it won't. I put $50 on my Paypal so I can play it when the beta begins, but if it's anymore than that I'm not buying it, because we (Aussies) once again get ripped off.

So if anyone knows the price, please tell me. I have been playing TMNF for years. :D

AU $88!? This just goes to show how ridiculously overpriced games are in Australia! :x With our strong dollar, I'll be buying and downloading the game. $88 for a boxed version of TM2 which currently only has one environment is borderline stupid.

Nadeo: tell your publisher/distributor to change the price! That is outrageous. I paid AU $50 for boxed copy of TMUF when it first appeared on shelves in Australia. There's no way in hell I'd ever pay $88 for a boxed copy of TM2 (unless it was worth it; e.g more than one environment).

The prices in international currencies are listed here too. Us Australians will be paying in whatever currency choices we're given, which would typically be USD. ;)

Let's hope it's a listing error, because Nadeo made it clear there wasn't going to be a boxed version to begin with. :P

Yeah I'm sure it is a listing error, as it still says TBC 2011. Anyway here is that link to it: http://www.ebgames.com.au/pc-154299-Tra ... -Canyon-PC

But yeah, if we pay anything more than $50 for part of a game, I'm simply not buying it, not when US gets it for $25 and we should get it slightly cheaper than people in the US.

It is ridiculous. I will definitely be buying from the website. The only difference between the digital download and the "boxed" version of it is one of them comes with a box, a disc and an instruction manual.

I thought it was download only too. Hopefully the Dollar stays strong for the next 36 hours so we wont be spending more than $25AUD!

Yup..that $50 in my Paypal won't be growing, so I'm just hoping Ubi won't rip us off. Please please please

Because they haven't said an Australian Specific price we will need to pay through PayPal with USD.

PayPal will automatically convert the $25USD into however much Australian Dollars. Paypal is neat like that.
