Steam Pricing in Australian Dollars

Awesome. Thanks for the update. It may have just taken a while to clear the cache.

I can now see the DLC in A$, of which there is 1133 of it. If this is the correct number of DLC on Steam to the current day for the program, then it's all updated and back to normal. The prices appear to be a fairly accurate conversion from USD to AUD, albeit a dollar higher in most cases, which in itself would be covered in an exchange fee anyway.

So buying in AUD is more expensive?

If you ignore the currency conversion fee you would normally get stung with in USD, yeah. The prices seem to be up to about a $1 more than what would pay if I converted their USD prices to AUD, but that doesn't account for the fee you pay after the fact, which can often be up to a $1, or more, depending on how much you pay. So in some cases, yeah I would say we're paying more, but in others, possibly a fraction less. It's too hard to tell with all the varying prices, exchange rates, and the fees they have.

I'm with NAB (that's a bank for all you non Aussies) and their currency conversion fees are highway robbery - in most cases $3+ dollars. So, it definitely works out a little bit cheaper for me now that we can pay in AUD.
