$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!

I would pick it up for you and ship it, but wouldn't that take forever. Not sure if it would save any money? I did it back in the day for a friend in the UK.

That's for the Digital Deluxe Edition which includes both PS4 and PS5

The standard edition for PS4 is $94.95 which seems to be in line with other titles listed on the Australian site.

Standard PS4 - $94.95
Standard PS5 - $109.95
Jackie Robinson Edition (PS4/PS5) - $132.95
Digital Deluxe Edition (PS4/PS5) - $154.95

Here's the link to view the different options and price points:

The standard PS4 version is $95, not $110

yeah I know I meant the ps5 version which would be the one I would buy. $110 for a sporting game though I just can't understand that one.

I don't know what the going rate is for video games in Australia, but from what I saw looking around the store its around similar price points of other games.

Call of Duty is $100 for standard PS4 and $110 for PS4/PS5 combo

NBA 2k21 PS4/PS5 combo is $110

Demon Souls PS5 Standard is $125 with Deluxe being $155


So judging from the site, the price point of $110 is in the median of price points of other titles.
