Our exchange rate has such a minimal change but we still have to pay $40 for the game pack, granted its much better than the original $50 but we still feel as if its not fair according to the us dollar exchange rate and since its not a disk version but just a download
I think I've had it with the "Australia/NZ" tax that EA adds to the Sims as well. It's wearying, especially because the last two patches that have landed have actually broken my game, and I ended up with item numbers both times. So, they are producing a broken game and charging us more for exactly the same thing just because we live here.
They can't have it all ways. It's their right to charge that much, but it doesn't mean I'm prepared to pay it. Which is bad for EA because I've been a Simmer since Sims 1 days, and I've kind've had enough.
it would be great if you guys could drop the price to 20 or atleast 25 dollars for both aus and nz, alot of us have been loyal customers from the start and alot of us do not have much money to spend on luxries such as games all we ask for is for someone to hear what we are trying to get through we just wanted to be treated fairly🙂
I support Australians and New Zealanders paying the same price (currency exchange rates applied) as the USA.
New Zealand sales tax is not 50% so why are we are paying 50% more than Americans?
Thank you so much Ea_David for taking the time to let us know its not really your area, we appreciate atleast some fom of feedback 😉 As for the kiwis I am going to be trying my best to somehow get the number of ea headoffice distribution here by us, they are not listed and even google came up with nothing, wish me luck :D
I have hit a dead end ☹️ There is no ea nz distribution, they are in Aussie, I can not contact them here by us. Sorry all, I have let you down ☹️
No idea Jerseyycow, it seems to be a secret, the only phone number and emails I can get from here and there is the ea technical help or game advisors, and I have spoken to both and they say its not their area but then they can not give me the numbers or emails of distributors. I don't know if you at Aussie would have more luck getting a hold of them, but I tried from here and well I kind of gave up, I have really tried, but feel defeated right now. I wanted to help all my fellow kiwis out and atleast get an explanation for why we pay more and perhaps if we are lucky get a price drop, but I am running around in circles now, so no idea what to do next.
