      Could we at least get a partial fix for the issue, by adjusting the price on origin to match the usual price here? Why is it more expensive on Origin anyway? It's not a tax issue, NZers get charged GST on both sites, as far as I can tell.

      I Second that!!!

      I third it lol I think that is a wonderful idea and hope they can come to the party :/

      I think that is a very good idea, what do you say Guru's do you think that can be done, or are the prices at Origin set up by Origin? We would appreciate feedback on this matter, would be real nice :mrgreen:

      The EA Store site is gonna be down in about 1-1/2 hours from now, so I'm thinking they're installing a fix for this problem. Just a hunch, anyway.

      Its fixed. EA REALLY chose April Fools Day to fix it? I guess all of AU/NZ and Sweden are regarded as fools then ;]

      I half expect a troll message when I go to buy points.

      I didn't believe my eyes at first - I can buy simpoints!

      I just hope, New Zealand & Sweden has been fixed too.

      Thank you for your patience, everyone. We are now live! The Daily Deals you may have missed out on are making a reappearance for all players. Make sure to hurry as these deals have limited quantities and won’t last very long!

      Gah, I could've sworn I posted the news FIRST this morning, but I think my phone was still having issues with the forum, post-maintenance. Anyway, yay for SimPoints!

      Now, let's grab those items and then get a shiny new list... and a bakery! :D
