Overpriced BF3 Premium

[ Edited ]

Hi i would like to know why the Battlefield 3 premium is $79.99 here is australia and every where else it is $50.00, I have tried to sort it out with EA and they directed me here, i would also like to know if what EA did is illegal, because they advertised the product on ps3 for $50.00 and t6hen changed it quickly after release, they also changed the wording and content to their websites. Is this False advertising?

 

also it can not be currency as in america it is $50, so it would be $51.85 approx, also it can't be tax as it is digital content, also for pc it is $50. Just to clarify i have not bought it and benn over charged i am just curious and furious at EA, or PSN

The price would be set by the games publisher so EA should be able to give you an explanation for the difference in price between territories.

Re: Overpriced BF3 premium

All things in AU COST MORE. So will DLC. 

The Actual Game BD cost loads more in the AU as well and IT ALWAYS HAS. Nothing has changed. this is the same accross All content.

There is normally price differences between the different territories but it is unusual that they wont tell you why its so dramatic in Australia.

 

Sorry we couldn't help further.

i dont know why gamers are encouraging this dlc robbery, nearly every game now releases with dlc, usually created at the same time the game was, but robbed the game of content to make gamers pay extra, now theyve started elite/premium.Gamers should show their displeasure of the developers current dlc policy and refuse to purchase it. people pay a high price for their games as it is.
