Heavensward CE preorders not being released in AUS???

Not to argue the cost is inflated, but shouldn't the conversion be made from the EU edition? Isn't that the edition Oceanic players use?

Well... if production of all versions are done by the same people( im still guessing in japan/china), it would just make more sense to convert the US price considering the similarity in geograpgic proximity. I doubt european v na versions would effect pricing

The EU edition is more expensive than the NA. The NA codes do not work for Oceanic players. Perhaps it shouldn't affect pricing but for some reason EU players are being charged more regardless.

Edit: Assuming the physical products are made in China or Japan it's doubtful they ship directly to the Oceanic area. AUS/NZ distributors may need to import the game from a distributor in Europe, which I think is what EB games has to do. I'm no expert on the economy there for gaming but I am under the impression essentially all games are imported with no direct sales. Does SE set the prices for Oceanic sales of the game? I saw listed retail prices for the JP/NA/EU versions but no pricing statement from SE on Oceanic sales. I thought they were all imported and pricing set by the retailer.
