Looking at the prices of DAI:Descent in both US and AU there appears to be a discrepancy.

 

The US price is $15, the AU is $25, but the currency conversion (as it stands today) from $15US to AU is $20.65AU. Now whilst rounding it up to $21AU would be understandable since currency conversion changes slightly from day to day, increasing the price to $25AU is almost a 25% increase over the original price.

 

I talked to someone via the ea help chat system about this who was very helpful and in addition to sending the question on up and giving me a discount code suggested I post my concern on the forum so I, and other players bothered by this, could be seen.

 

Australian's are no strangers to unnecessary price hikes on games and technology but the chances of this particular case being rectified are better if we both express our concerns here and contact ea. 

 

If you do decide to contact ea please remember to be polite as the people you are talking to are not the developers who made the decision, just people who've been hired to man the help desk and send on problems.

We are already aware and investigating

Yeah, I pinged Mark Darrah (politely) on twitter earlier today and he said he'd look into it. Which given he's one of the big cheeses round these here Bioware parts, I assume meant he went and pointed at someone and said, "Find out what the hell is going on in Australia. They'll send their damn dropbears after us if we don't. Or possibly their spiders."

I notified the team around 2pm MST not sure if you messaged him before or after that point.

 

Not to take shots at you or anything. But for future DLC could you keep an eye on it for our sake. It seems to be happening each time a DLC comes out... I don't think Sony's been getting the price memo

I recorded a memo and passed information along to others to keep an eye in the future

Heh, no idea. I have enough trouble working out the time difference between Melbourne and Perth. Anything more than that and my brain might curl up and start crying. I just wanted the OP to know that it's been made known to various people from various directions so all is... known.

4am Perth, 6am Melbourne would be the time when it was 2pm here

If the BioWare devs found anything in their investigating, I'd be really interested. But, people start looking into this issue and give up pretty quick. For good reasons.

My role as a QA is to report issues and provide as much information as possible, I fulfilled those aspects. 

 

For myself I can not do anything further.
