Why is the New Zealand and Australia Outdoor retreat price not the same ? [ Edited ]

[mcrudd]

Our exchange rate has such a minimal change but we still have to pay $40 for the game pack, granted its much better than the original $50 but we still feel as if its not fair according to the us dollar exchange rate and since its not a disk version but just a download

Agreed, what is the jusification for charging us $10 more? It's digital content, everyone gets the same but we have to pay more?

The US equivalent is around $25, given that we always have to pay more I do not expect to pay more than $30 NZ. Either that or you give us an alternative to using Origin to purchase this content.

Sort it out please, I've spent thousands of dollars on every single Sims base game, stuff pack, expansion pack and Sims 3 store content, I'd happily spend more if I felt like I wasn't getting ripped off.

Next time you release a game pack don't have Maxis staff brag about the $20 price tag and then do this to us with no other option for buying it.

I feel absolutely ripped off. Certainly not going to be spending $40 on stuff packs. Its just not worth it. And completely unfair to us.

Id rather pay $25 then $30 ea!

Has anyone tried to talk to support?

[mcrudd]

We would just like to know why we can't pay 30 dollars as well, look at the currency how can that be fair. Thanks all for your support hopefully an official ea person would pop in here and give us some sort of answer, that is all we want after all

Honestly, i dont think they will drop it, because people just buy it anyway, regardless of price, they dont really care and unless they do drop it i wont be buying the pack. They dont listen to us anyway. It makes me so angry.

I'm not buying it at this price.  So whilst some might a lot won't.

Ok guys, i just spoke to support, they offered me a discount, the guy (His name was Amid) said they are fixing it.

I really hope they are.

[mcrudd]

That is great news, I really do hope they are working on it, its only fair that the whole world pays approximately the same amount, and by letting Aussie pay 30 dollars its just fair we do too, as our currency is almost the same We are getting the word out there, which is great :D
