90 bucks for the regular version, 120 for the super deluxe. Is that the most retarded price you've ever seen or what? Especially considering I can easily nab the regular version on Ebay for 20 bucks brand new, like I did with ME3. This is the Australian store btw. But the price is in US dollars. Stinking thieves. Oh look, and the only difference between the deluxe and super deluxe are the weekly MP booster packs, one each week for 20 weeks. That's laughable. |

A little bit more pricey, sure. Anyone else notice the "standard" edition has the superior cover art???

Isn't the ridiculously high prices due to the Australian government and the way they put taxes and import fees o video games? I remember hearing about similar problems with new games on Steam as well. Unless I misunderstand what I have been reading it seems $90 for the base version of the game is what all new games cost.

Here in Canada; 79.99 seems to be the magic number if my memory is correct. Though admittedly, 10.00 is nothing to me when it comes to Mass Effect. |

Same thing here, ME:A is more than twice the price I paid for ME3. It's Mass Effect so I'll end up pre-ordering, but I'll sait untill they show gameplay at least.

It's not an Origin issue.
It's an Australia issue.
But gg blaming Origin for something that's always been a problem with the Australian government when it comes to buying products like video games or books or comics or, you know, anything.
The lengths y'all will go to to make EA out to be the worst company in the history of human existence, I swear.

I think it is an Australian issue as the danish version of Origin lists the prices as the following:
- 69,07 dollars for the standard edition.
- 83,50 dollars for the Deluxe edition.
- 97,92 dollars for the Super Deluxe edition.
Jesus, your standard edition costs more than the Deluxe edition does in my country. The Super Deluxe edition is actually cheaper in my country than the non-Super Deluxe edition is in yours!
I've heard this story before about Australia. I've found this explaination but how accurate it is I cannot say: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/1cjeez/eli5_why_do_video_games_cost_so_much_in_australia/
Note: I think the prices are correctly converted from kroner to dollars.

60, 70, and 100, for me, respectively. Which is kind of riddikulus if you consider that the difference between the deluxe and the super deluxe is the MP booster packs. Of course, they may decide to release a Mega Super Deluxe Edition or even an Ultra Mega Super Deluxe Edition. How's a guy to choose?  |

It is really pricey here in Brazil too (but the dollar exchange rate is out of control, one dollar is over 3,50 reais).  |

Sounds about what I have to pay in my country too (and for all games, mind you). Nothing new for me.
That's one of the reasons I'm going to pick it up from G2A and to heck with it.

You know our exchange is 1 US$ -15.50ish ARS$ So the game costs about 700-800 argentinian pesos, and it continues to rise every year. |

it's going to be Standard edition for me, in canadian currency. I mean , i know i'm so not dying to get shiny new skins for the MAKO Nomad for like $20 more.  what concerns me more than game price are the system requirements . Have they yet released anything regarding those ? |

However I'll make it simple: Where you able to play DA:I at medium+ settings? if yes, I wouldn't worry. If no, then start worrying. I assume ME:A will require a slightly better rig than DA:I to be able to play at max settings (1080p, 4k gaming is a bit ridiculous when it comes to specs). |

I will probably be building a new rig before the game comes out or just about at the same time but then who knows... i'll pay my taxes first  |

Currency and geopolitical differences aside, I think it's a mistake to charge the "standard" AAA price for an untested soft reboot. They ought to hedge expectations by discounting the first installment. If it's a smash hit, they'll still make a ton of money selling it for US$64.99 or even US$59.99. If response is mixed or a flop, people won't feel quite so cheated.
And none of that day-one US$9.99 DLC bs either.
Of course, since EA sets prices, that will never happen.

Well, the thing that really helped a lot of these indie developers was Steam and distribution system that was all online. That means you had no real "need" for a developer. Also, it meant that you didn't have to be able to pony up the cash for DVD's, printed materials, boxes, someone to put them all in the boxes, etc.
But yah, I mean, there's a lot of downsides to that too, having to maintain an ever presence on the internet, marketing on the net, having servers (which all gamers have come to expect), etc.
I don't mind ponying up $100. Especially to BioWare. DICE? Ehh. Beautiful games. Not games that I'd ever play, but beautiful. $130 beautiful? lol, no.

I don't buy a lot of EA's games. If, possibly, they had a decent Madden port (although I have no idea how this would work) I might think about it. |
