Keep in mind the conversion rates and that you can buy gem cards without the need for converting to USD. (I buy mine at Electronics Boutique)
1 AUD = .74 USD via Paypal (29/6)

Meaning that if you are considering buying the Deluxe edition
74.99 USD = 101.66 AUD

You may want to consider buying the Standard edition and upgrading it.
49.99 USD = 67.77 AUD + 30 AUD worth of gems for the upgrade

Also Ultimate edition only saves us roughly 15-16 AUD (as opposed to the advertised 25 USD) depending on how you value the items in the upgrades.
99.99 USD = 135.55 AUD
delux + 50 AUD worth of gems = 151.66 AUD

Obviously prices may change as the AUD/ USD fluctuate.

Since the savings is around $15 AUD, and a gem card from stores cost $15 AUD, you’ll only get a profit of 1200 gems instead of the 2000 gems with the Ultimate bundle.

In general, the game purchasing is heaps more expensive in Australia. For the price of the HoT ultimate edition, you could get a new exclusive edition PS4/Xbox/PC game. And the US players complained $50 was expensive to them.

I always lol when they come on here and complain about 100ms ‘lag’.
