Too many posts to quote anyone in particular.
Prices for the Lego games are set by TT Games, nothing to do with Microsoft (as already pointed out by
xPut Name Herex).
Digital prices are regional, just like physical prices, so go complain in the stores that they are charging too much for physical and digital prices will drop.
• LEGO Jurassic World - 25% off - Now US$44.99 / £33.74 / €44.99 / AU$67.46
converted into USD at todays exchange rate plus taxes:
• LEGO Jurassic World - 25% off - Now US $49.98 / UK $51.13 / EU $50.65 / AU $47.32
So as usual AU is the cheapest (as is Canada) and UK and EU (and New Zealand) are the most expensive.
The problem many of you seem to have is with the fact that older games have far less value in the US. Walk into a store in the US that has 1 million second hand copies in stock of a 3 year old game and you will realise that if they ask $50 for it they are not going to sell a single one. So they drop the price to $5, but now realise if the digital version was $50 they are not going to sell a single one. TT Games know this and so drop the digital price, but only in the US.
Walk into a store in Australia and see a deal like this one at ebGames:
LEGO Batman 3 Crazy Clearance price $57 (=$40 USD)
and you will realise that
• LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - 60% off - Now US$12.00 / £20.00 / €24.00 / AU$35.98
is actually a better deal for Australia than stores such as ebGames. Same applies to UK and EU. TT Games have undercut store prices by $4, it makes no business sense to undercut them by $40.
GoD prices have always been regional. DLC prices (add-ons, themes, gamerpics, etc) were the same everywhere in the world. This was back in the days of MSP and is not always the case now. But since stores do not sell DLC there was no regional pricing issue.
So my point still stands, until you can get the prices reduced in the stores, you can't expect digital prices to follow. And imagine if digital prices did follow and you could get LEGO Batman 3 for USD $12 everyone in the world, then every store in Australia would go out of business overnight (and almost have in UK).
