Basically for the past few months, I've noticed a habit of the "Australia Tax" taking effect on digital downloads. The most recent of these is Bioshock infinite's Season pass and Burial at sea part one DLC. The season pass is listed as 1600mp in the in game store (still showing original prices after the switch to $)
800mp was roughly $10, yet the season pass in Australia is 29.55 compared to the US $19.95.
In all pre release info the Individual episodes of Burial at Sea it was revealed that they would be priced at $15 each. Yet in Australia it is now $19.99 the price of the season pass in the US.

So what I would like to know is that if you believe that this practice is acceptable in this coming age of digital downloads ?
