discounts on xbox store, but they are showing their greed again. Discounts are a lot less than they usually are. But hey, xbox people, you can now buy the crowns for what people on the ps4 normally pay for them.

should we celebrate?

    its 49.99 for pc and xbox. so its not an issue with MS, its ZOS. and they refuse to answer the question why.

    our subs are more expensive also and they refuse to answer why. On xbox we cant buy more than one month at a time. I already got confirmation from MS that its ZOS's decision and that is another one they refuse to answer.

    The smaller packages, namely the 5500 package, is the best deal imo - sale or no sale. Unless you want to go head first in with $100 + then the 5500 crown package is the most bang for your buck.

    At least you guys have a sale? PC still shows full price. lol

    5500 Crates in Canada being $49.99 Canadian Dollars would actually make it $38 USD dollars or so.

    that is not how things work. You can't just take an exchange rate and say, hey you guys pay less.

    the economy matters, along with your salary etc.

    this is one of the biggest issues that pop up when talking about exchange rates. The value of the product cannot just be taken by a calculation.

    You're joking right? In very simple terms, the exchange rate is literally the impact of economic, political, and existential issues on currency/trade/goods between countries. You could consider international trade laws, tariffs, and taxes which could increase prices but you're still going to use the exchange rate to determine how much one countries currency is worth in another.

    How in the world does a persons salary have to do with the cost of goods? If I make a bajillion dollars, my 1 dollar bill is no more or less powerful than someone who makes $30,000. In the literal sense at least. Obviously if I have a bajillion dollars my worth and influence would most likely be way above someone with $30,000 but thats not because of one individual dollar, but the sum of all my dollars.

    Don't even get me started on how you literally used the USD to Canadian dollar exchange rate to get your "31.99." Only you messed up and thought US people were paying $39.99 Canadian dollars which yes, is $31.99 USD.

    Wrong, you messed up.

    PS4 players IN CANADA are paying 39.99CDN for 5500 crowns
    Xbox and PC players IN CANADA are paying 49.99CDN for 5500 crowns

    This is something ZOS will not comment on. Why? Do they have a deal with sony? Because as stated, MS does not set the prices on the store, ZOS does. Sony does not set the prices on the store, ZOS does. So why they difference.

    rather simple.

    What you earn may put a personal value and whether its a necessity onto an item but it doesn't reflect on the determined global market value. You're assuming that just because someone makes $50k USD that they actually have more expendable income than you, but its not that simple.

    Also your analogy is extremely narrow and finite. Sure, 49.99 may be more of a burden to you as a Canadian, but you have relief in other areas which balance out most likely.

    I'm with you guys. 5500 crowns for eight bucks less is a laughable "sale".

    I never buy crowns at full price, I already spend too much on this game.
    Between ESO+, expansions and prior crown sales, I just can't bring myself to spend $33 on what amounts to just
    enough crowns to purchase a cosmetic horsey.

    Exactly where I am at. It's almost insane when you think about them selling a mount for $30. This isn't a normal business. They just have to design the product one time and can re-sell it infinitely with no added or extra manufacturing costs after the fact.

    The profits on this game must be out of this world outrageous.
