fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 285	Posted - 2013.05.15 00:56:00 - [1] - Quote This was from another post and @Lian Heindell no this is a long standing abuse by the software industry that is not caused by taxes look it up on the internet. I'm glad to hear that CCP has not been participating in this with EVE Online hopefully they can force Sony to fix its self at least for dust. #4 Posted: 2013.05.15 00:47 \| Report yea that's a Australia software thing, I don't know why but every one charges more for software in Australia. Its actually cheaper to fly to the us buy adobe pro box set and fly back then it is to buy the download version in Australia. The stupid thing is that there is no reason for it, even if you pay tariffs for it when you fly back in to Australia you only pay a little bit more then the download version. Sooooo yea you can thank companies for being corrupt and no competition really existing. That said I imagine that while CCP and Sony may agree on pricing, Sony is probably independently setting the regional prices on the playstation network so you may want to see if CCP can have them change it. Also any eve players here know if Australia pays more then 15AUD a month for eve? I would be interested to know.

fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 285	Posted - 2013.05.15 02:04:00 - [3] - Quote I stand corrected Sony may care, adobe changed its pricing after being summonsed to answer for it prices, so call up Sony and tell them you and the aussie gaming community are getting in touch with the commerce bureau in you country. again from the other thread. #10 Posted: 2013.05.15 02:01 \| Report its sony like all major software companies they are gouging other parts of the world because they know you will pay. Its not limited to the games industry, it probably not limited to the software industry, but I know for a fact that the software industry is gouging Australia (probably other countries too) with no lawful reason other then they can and they believe they get more money that way. Here read you fill I googled it for you. oh in my search I found that many companies have lowered their prices after being summonsed to explain the price difference. You may want to let Sony know whats going on with that and tell them you are notifying your commerce bureau, so they had better start changing prices. https://www.google.com/search?q=software+prices+in+australia&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
fred orpaul The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 286	Posted - 2013.05.15 02:23:00 - [4] - Quote its true probably another reason that PT(player trading sry) has been pushed back. I thought is was weird and I thought it might be sony not wanting to "lose" money(oh sony why are you so stupid), but now that you mention it it could be they want to prevent losing the markets that have really high prices to trading. oh BTW from the other thread on this, a way to bypass the aussie prices, although not really practical for long time beta players.

I have filled out one report today in NZ http://www.comcom.govt.nz/ http://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/consumerprotection/ make sure to let Sony know that you are doing this as well and that other major distributors are backing down on pricing because of this, you might get a faster response.
