[quote]US minimum wage $7.25 US dollars
AUS minimum wage is $16.87 AUS dollars (or $12.93 US dollars)
It takes a US citizen 5.5 hours of work to buy TTK
It takes AUS citizen 5.4 hours of work to buy TTK
With a marginal 6 minutes difference (in AUS favor) I would say the prices are pretty fair.[/quote]

2 RepliesThen explain to me why DLC in Australia is marked up by a pretty standard 25% For example, a $20 DLC in the U.S. Is $25 here. Current DLC is that price and even Destiny DLC is that price. So if TDB and HoW both cost $25 in Australia and TTK is twice the price of the previous DLCs, why is TTK $70 in Australia? The exchange rate hasn't plummeted, and other DLCs both past and present haven't seen a dramatic increase like this. The simple fact is TTK markup is both an isolated and unprecedented increase. You can get a new game for $60-$70 here. And what's more troubling is that other regions like New Zealand and UK have similar unprecedented markups. So, would you care to attribute all of these foreign regions having a similar, unusually high markup to being a coincidence? There's a reason non US markets weren't complaining en masse about the previous DLC prices ... because they weren't over priced. TTK [i]is[/i] overpriced.
