    Wow, the difference for Australia is similar - from Au$14.95 to $44.95 at checkout!

    Yep, there is def something wrong!

    if i try thru Uplay i do see a problem tho at first it shows as $14.99 add to cart it jumps to $16.00

    and says

    Prices and offers in the cart are subject to change until the order is submitted.


    DR globalTech Inc. is the authorized reseller and merchant of the products and services offered within this store.

    ...
    Hmm, this must be a clown circus cart software.. and, btw, that mentioned 'subject to change price until order is submitted' would be illegal here in Australia.

    does it have the same online retail store listed for AUS ? here in the US it lists it as DR globalTech Inc

    at the bottom of the screen on checkout (in the uplay client)

    an i do know if you go to this site different Authorized Ubisoft re-sellers have differing prices

    https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000ekN9CAI



    this EU site always seems to have the game on sale

    https://uk.gamesplanet.com/search?ut...uery=FarCry+4+

    at least more often then other sites i have seen , including even the Uplay shop

    yea it directs me to a totally different Store in the Uplay client .. it must be based by region

    You miss the point somewhat - UBI has to make sure their *licensed shops* act in an accurate/plausible manner.. there is no excuse for such pricing "mistakes" no matter which country!

    End of story

    i did not miss the point all i said was it must be done by region .. i even agreed at first its showing one price in Uplay then another when i select checkout in the uplay client

    but if you go online tho and go direct to the Uplay store with your web browser it works fine
    http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_U...081100/plat.pc

    if you load that other page i linked https://support.ubi.com/en-US/FAQ/9/...0000000ekN9CAI

    several retail outlets do have it on sale (including the Uplay Store )

    Ubisoft probably does not control pricing .. they just sell the keys to the different retail outlets ,, and let the them set the price, and let them decide whats on sale on their site and when


    ubisoft probably does not "licence" as you say a retail outlet .. they just distribute the cd keys directly to them ,as they are approved vendors since they signed a digital distribution agreement
    EXAMPLE ---> this one has Primal on sale others do not have it priced at $41.99
    https://www.dlgamer.us/advanced_sear...far+cry+primal

    and yes i agree that there is a bug or some weird thing going on if it is showing 2 different prices between add to cart and check out in the Uplay Client

    it sends me to a totally different digital Store then what you see from the picture you posted in the Uplay client

    but SHOP around ..you can find the game usually on sale from one of the Approved vendors listed on that page i linked
