Hiten_Shah Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Guys the game is at $113 australian dollars in New Zealand ps store $93 for Australia ps store And $50(£29) and $51 in the UK and India So ppl from NZ and Australia don't buy this game rather create a British account and set that as your primary account and then buy the game from the British account for 50 bucks and then switch to the account you play and enjoy I think u can get PSN wallet cards in pounds to buy the game from Amazon or any online place The game is good for $19.99 but it's still fine if it's $40 American dollars but paying more than that is criminal for this game when we pay only $60 dollars for red dead redemption 2 lmao I hope it works for you guys and the Platinum looks easy and there are no online trophies I think only the 1500 wickets will be grindy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiten_Shah Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Nah mate I don't think so ,if that's the case they would have to refund a lot of people that already bought the game I think that Australia is their primary market and now the big bash season will start so maybe Cricket Australia had a say in about deciding the price of the product Yeah it's really unfortunate and no parent in the right mind will allow their kids to get this game for $100 ? I hope ppl that haven't bought the game can use the above trick and save their money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha if it becomes more than that then I am sure people would boycott the game and not long back during black Friday sale we were getting Xbox one and PS4 consoles at $199 lol I wouldn't even pay so much money for the masterpiece such as red Dead redemption 2 ?? 3 minutes ago, SirPigFace said: dont buy any games at that price anyway just wait a few month and get it on a sale ? these game companies have been ripping people off for the last few years with Gold Editions and Ultimate Editions and most of the games are unfinished Yeah it's so sad Mostly bigant games only go on sale after a year of release Ashes Cricket was on sale 2 weeks ago so I don't even think it's worth to wait 1 year for this game when you know they will probably release ashes cricket 19 or a new game such as world cup 19 or something like that ??

Yep it's insane It's 93 dollar check this out https://store.playstation.com/en-au/product/EP4249-CUSA13210_00-BIGBASHBOOM00000 And USA version is the cheapest ? *29.99 USD = 41.14 AUD* so bigant is changing $93 AUD and $113 AUD in Australia and New Zealand while they are selling it for $41 AUD in America lol big ant is screwing their main market ???

fisty123 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I might have to take my preorder back into EB games while under the 7 day return for full store credit and buy this from the NA store digital. Paid $89 for this through EB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly When I wrote this thread the game wasn't available in NA region Well it turns out it's the cheapest in that region and for $29.99 USD it's a great price for this game Would have loved $19.99 USD but $29.99 is a steal when the game is over 100 aud in New Zealand region and 93 bucks for Australia I think the developers thought they will get away with releasing games at different prices and probably thought we are stupid enough to buy in our own regions ?? Lmao when the same game is available at a cheaper rate ofcourse we will buy it from that region and paying with PSN top up cards is also very easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damage_6-9 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) This is why I very rarely buy anything Day one any more.... the good old "Australia Tax" is applied to nearly everything these days..... be nice if they used lube once in a while, lol Just checked- $39.99 in the Canadian Store, exchange rate is 1 Canadian dollar = 1.03 Australian atm Edited November 30, 2018 by damage_6-9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best someone can do is contact any social media outlets they use and let them know people aren't going to tolerate that price for such a low budget and content game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I don't follow any sports, but I love NBA Jam's arcade style I know how cricket works enough to pickup a game I thought the idea of putting the two together was genius But Big Ant are absolute shit, every time. Even I know this. The price, I saw it in EB and thought it ridiculous but figured digital would have to be a reasonable price. Nope. I'll see you on the Switch eShop when you hit 20 or so, until then, waddle off, duckwit (it's wordplay!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The current exchange rate of 1 Australian Dollar is 1.06 New Zealand Dollars. This means 83 AUD (the price listing for this game on the AU PS Store) should equate to 88.32 NZD. But who honestly thought it'd be a good idea to charge Aussies $83 (an unjustified price knowing what you're getting with that much money) but New Zealanders $112? Whoever commissioned this decision deserves to lose their job! There's a serious problem regarding companies complete ignorance of exchange rates between different currencies so if you're going to price a game at let's say 45 US Dollars, there's no reason for you not to pay close attention to the many currency exchange rates (USD to *insert currency here*) and price your games in accordance to the (average) equations of the many currencies used by the countries you're going to distribute the game to. So you're saying Americans think 60 Dollars for a AAA release is expensive? In Australia, virtually every game selling for that price in the United States is sold for $100 Down Under. On November 29th (this year) 60 USD is 82.01 Australian. If you think about it, we (Australians) have been overcharged for years over the US by 18 Australian Dollars. Knowing this makes sense to me when people say "just buy your games from America". So when someone from the US says "Red Dead Redemption 2 is a highway robbery at $60, Imma wait for a sale!", you should be very lucky that YOU you're not the one being ripped off constantly.
