like nss could be cheaper in brazil so acuatually people can buy. i bought it and it is very expensive here in brazil so my idea could be that instead of 1 fixed peice how about varied prices depending on the country.

Bad idea. For one, how do you decide what price for what country? No matter what one person decides, some other people will disagree, meaning no one will ever be totally happy.
Also, how do you decide on how much a person in one country can afford. There will be people in places like Brazil that will have more money that people in Britain, so really, no matter what country your in, the economic spread is always going to be vast.
Nope... unless Si had the time to tie the price in by comparing with the average price for say FIFA (as an example) in local currency etc and pricing accordingly.
Pretty much agree with that Wednesday Lad says. Would you ask amazon.com to lower their prices for you?

Nope for the reasons said by the two above...
Also it would be time consuming to ensure people are telling the truth about which country they are from...

Its not really fair that someone pays less just because they live in another country. Its one rate for all, and to be honest $10 bucks is about a £5 its not a great deal and you would pay a lot more for a EA games title.

c'mon its totally a bad idea.
10USD = 5British Pounds = 8 Euro dollars = 24 Brazil Reais = 13 Australia Dollars = 12.50 Canada Dollars
Its quite a cheap price i muz say... i live in Singapore and it converts to 16 Singaporean dollars. Its quite a catch for such an addictive game.
I mean, it would be unfair for certain countries. Are we gonna charge cheaper for 1st world countries and make it a bomb to buy for 3rd-world countries when they cant even afford necessarities?

Bad idea, just the same as everybody already talked. It's pretty fair the way it is right now.

*time for forum to be locked, JJU or chester guy.....or statto etc*
I'm shocked, but for once I agree with you. Si is rightly never going to consider changing the price according to where you alledgedy live, so thread locked. :)
