HypersomniacLive: Good news™ doesn't even begin to describe the mess today's EA releases are price-wise.

I guess that's just EA for us... *shakes head*
erm

yeah i have a little problem there ;

Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Ed. seems to be 29.99 US dollars
Dead Space seems to be 19.99 US dollars

on Steam Store : (from what i see)

Dead Space is 9.99 euro
Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Ed: (n/a)
avaible : Base Game : 19.99 euro / Awakening expansion : 9.99 euro

Sooo.... i don't really see the reason such a treatment for two games published by the same publisher.

Looks like EA abused the regional pricing way too much for one of the two games mentionned.

Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition is available on . And if you check the [url=https://www.steamprices.com/us/app/47810/dragon-age-origins-ultimate-edition]various region prices, you're in for quite a shock.

The Dead Space 100% price hike has nth to do with (abusing) regional pricing, it's pure greed.

Seems like they forgot to change the US price...

I'd be curious to see how the other price points will be affected from such an adjustment, if it's indeed an oversight.

EDIT: typo
What makes the Dead Space price even "better" is the fact that it's only 7.99€ on Origin. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Dragon Age price increasing to sync it with the US price on Steam soon unless the 19.99$ are intentional....

Just goes to show how high the price of DRM-free is... makes both EA and GOG more money.

And equally, it wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional, the US is over 50% of GOG's market, after all.

EA continues to hate Latin American folks. We're not gringos, stop charging us as if we were!

Is France a region on its own on Steam? Do you know why this specific edition is not available for you?

By ripping off all non-Americans? Feels really great :|

That might be the case. Now i'm curious what the US price on Origin is...

Maybe because it lacks a french language version?

DyNaer: No idea, .... iirc i saw this item avaible during sales , otherwise no....
See above. Could that be a reason?
The lack of the French language version. Could also be the result of it not being available in France though...

iirc , only during sales.... funny i can access to the discussions , but the product page isn't avaible LOL

edit : i'm not really sure why it's restricted for my country :

the base game is multilanguage & the separate expansion is english only o_O

frankly it's a non-sense , if i have to count the number of games without french as language, plenty of titles wouldn't be avaible ....:P

Well that's pretty standard as i'm able to access the community hub of all games not available in Germany....

But that this edition is not available in France just confuses me - all the other versions are available for you, right?

yes, base game + expansion (seperate entries) are avaible... i just don't really understand. (except during sales if my memory serves me right)
