Australia & EU Region Subscription Costs

[Fade]

On the plus side, Australians are also surrounded by the deadliest fauna known to man. Very nice beaches though

fishpond.com.au have the 60 day cards for $29.95 delivered to Australia from the UK. Does anyone know if we are ok to use UK cards on our accounts without issue?

Like me , I able to buy reload card here for just 99.00 for 60 days subscription at nearby store . You should check at your game store since reload will be available there for cheaper price as alternative. I wonder why you must use Credit card for everything!? Geeeeeeez~

Thats the sad thing, local stores are still selling timecards at a premium in Australia, still cheaper to have them sent from halfway round the world

It should work since we are paying for the EU service.

aussie chiming in - as much as it sucks....what i dont understand, is that i pre-ordered the game from the SE store and was charged in GBR - hence costing me $A29.99 but now i go to look at my subscription options and i can only pay in Euro...but this is nothing new Sony has done this before also with DC Online. Maybe with enough of a voice it might be sorted but i highly doubt it. Time will tell to see how it goes.

It's in euro because your account is an eu account. And I don't think SE will even consider making Aussie dollars a payment.

Well okay let's say that I accept that it's for some reason not in their capacity to be able to set an AUD subscription price, I would say that is all the more reason for them to allow players forced to pay in a non native currency the ability to select, from those available, the currency they wish to convert to.

I understand to some it may seem petty to create an issue out of a few extra dollars a month, and I would tend to agree if that few extra dollars were going to SE directly to help accelerate new content, heck I'd shrug it off and consider it money well spent. But in this case they don't see the extra few dollars it costs us to convert to the EUR subscription fee, that all goes to the banks or whatever economic entity that swallows my money and spits out the EUR I use to pay for my account with. So in a sense it's just wasted or lost money, money I feel I'm needlessly tossing down the drain and that is where I start have a problem with this scenario.

There is no harm or loss to SE in allowing those of us not fortunate enough to have a set native currency subscription fee the option to select the more favourable currency to convert to and pay in out of those they do supply.

Can't agree with u anymore. Force people to pay with a more expensive currency is ridiculous.

I bought my game in pounds and I'll be paying my sub in Euros.

Not a big deal.
