Isn't there a 10% VAT included on Australian Games? If so, that means the price is closer $105-$110 -- roughly normal markup for games outside the US. Canadians pay $80 CDN for $59 US games (both excluding sales tax).

Actually $154 dollars equals $117 US

so we are ripped off. here regardless of the dollar difference its always more.

Like I said yes NBA put up the price but even EA didn't do it with FIFA and madden in fact it was a FREE upgrade to the PS5 I know demon souls was compared to this. but this is the sporting market in video games which only have 1 year life span.

Same issue here in the UK. Because the game doesn't sell well enough to actually get stocked by any UK retailers, the only option is the digital store, which is a rip off. Same price in £ as it is in $'s in the US, which doesn't take a currency trader to tell you that's not a good deal

Whilst I am also disappointed in the price jumps, the way I look at it is that I will pay approx 17c per hour to play baseball which doesn’t seem so bad.

Re: $154 for the game here in Australia you can't be serious!

people in the US want to complain about $70 for a game now. think about other countries like down here we are completely ripped off with this. you can't be serious?? is this Sony's doing or SDS?? this is robbery!

looks like I have to use my US account pay $70 US for the game which will be about $95 Aust instead if I choose to buy the game. no way in hell will I pay $150 for a game!

Move to the U.S. LOL

Of course, I was just jocking ! I'm Canadian and things are a lot better than in the U.S. in that respect. We both fall under the same Commonwealth, and glad to be part of it. In Canada, the standard PS4 game sells for 79.99 CAD. Based on the value of the USD/CAD rate of exchange, it should sell for 76.99 CAD. I want my 3 dollars back. LOL
