No I'm not going to start another topic about the european Collectors Edition being so much more expensive (in Germany) in comparison to other countries. I know that EA has it's own business location in Europe, thus producing the CE here and therefore can demand whatever price they want. It's a local problem.
But what about the DLCs? The DLCs have only one origin: The website of EA and Bioware. This website is a worldwide website, there are no differences in what Bioware / EA have to pay in order to run the website, so normally one should expect the DLCs to be priced the same worldwide.
THEY ARE NOT!
In Germany when I want to buy "Wardens Keep" I have to pay 6,51€ for 560 game points. That's 9,66$ --> 2,66$ too much, according to Biowares own price list: http://dragonage.bioware.com/addon/
The same goes for "The Stone Prisoner". As I got it free with my game I don't remeber if it was worth 800 or 1600 game points, but again you'd have to pay 9,30€ (=13,80$) for 800 and 18,61€ (=27,62$) for 1600 game points!
Why? These DLCs don't have to be imported, there is no shipping-price, no tax, because there is no borders in the Internet! On the contrary, it is very likely that I have to pay an extra fee using my credit card to pay on a foreign bank account when I buy these points.
[GAME POINTS & DLCs] Europen players have to spend more money on everything! Why?

@Frostaxt: I don't disagree, and there certainly isn't anything we do on purpose to try to make Europeans pay more. I have already mentioned on another thread that if you spot the price of points in other currencies (such as euros) being out of whack compared to normal exchange rate to pm me - I can't promise anything, but if we can adjust our price of points we will.
