Leroux: plus they're cheaper and don't require me to pay in euro

Starmaker: With recently introduced regional pricing, I check the conversion rates, then move to wherever the bundle is cheaper.
Desura/IR has had regional pricing forever... Or at least as long as I have been using them (since late 2010 I believe). Or were you talking about someone else recently starting regional pricing?

No they didn't. IR had regional currency. As in, the +music bundle cost e.g. 6 USD, but if you were in Europe, it was (say) 4.38 EUR instead. Now they're using rounded prices (8 USD, 6 EUR, and 9 AUD for this bundle).

I can tell you that it isn't new and that they use the rounded prices for the bundle + music for at least months. It was already there when I started to buy IR bundle again (which was in june 2013).

Thank you for the info. I signed up on Desura as a resident of Norway and "moved" to the States when I got tired of logging out to buy / logging in to register a bundle. They still had a single worldwide price back then (I just prefer to be billed in dollars), and I never noticed the change until they got the music price wrong in the previous promo email.

Well now that's interesting because the bundle price is rarely a round number in USD so I don't really understand what you mean about rounding it in Euros.

Rounded prices are usually for bonus album, right? ;)

This. Never missed an album. I know most of these albums are otherwise available (such as on bandcamp) but bandcamp doesn't host on-demand downloads.

Ah ok, this makes more sense. Now I think about it, I think the bonus album price has always been a round number in GBP for me so I think they've always used regional pricing in that regard.
