Following the initial release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Day One and Collector’s Edition details, Australian pricing and availability has now been confirmed.

Konami has set the price of the robust PS4 or Xbox One Collector’s Editions at $249.95 AUD, while the Day One edition is priced at $89.95 AUD on last-gen and $109.95 AUD on current-gen.

The pricey Collector’s Edition is shown in full below:

Compare that to pricing in the United States, and it looks like we’ve been hit with the Australia Tax. In the US, the Phantom Pain‘s Collector’s Edition is priced at just $99.95 USD.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
