The following screen shots clearly demonstrate that Electronic Arts intends to fleece Australian consumers by charging them more for the same digital downloads as they do to US consumers.

The first image is of the AU EA Origin store, and the price is clearly $23.95.

The second image is of the US EA Origin store, accessed via a VPN, and the price is clearly $14.95.

The third image is of the AU/US exchange rate. $1 AUD is currently buying $1.01 USD.

Electronic Arts, why do you think you can treat Aussie consumers like crap?

I rest my case.

I received this via the feed-back form a few days ago:

Do you want to grow your business ? Do you have serious , defined sales goals?

The funny part is, this is a non-commercial site. This is not about my work or what I do, nor am I trying to sell anything – there aren’t even any ads on display.

How disappointing that the first person trying to contact me since my redesign, a spammer non-the-less, doesn’t even bother to look at the site before spamming me.
