For example, GTA VI in Japan is quoting at:

However I’ve heard that it’s going to cost:

  • $79.99 & $99.99 (US, excl. ST) but you’ll pay more with taxes
  • 79,99€ & 99,99€ (EU, inc. VAT) - taxes are finalized in the price
  • £69.99 & £89.99 (UK, inc. VAT) - taxes are finalized in the price
  • A$129.95 & A$159.95 (AU, inc. GST) - taxes are finalized in the price

I mean, why is priced differently? Would you pay $/€100 for the Ultimate edition upon release for example?

    It cost rm339 (usd86.24) for standard and rm419(usd106) for ultimate in Malaysia. Idk why would people pay that much for games but i definitely wouldn’t. That’s my four to 6 weeks lunch money. I’ll just wait 10 years for it to drop till two digit before i even consider it.

    As for your question, it’s basically regional pricing. I have no idea what it based on though.
