Activision’s bizarre handling of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance ports on current-gen continues today as prices have recently been raised on the PlayStation Network.
Digital copies of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance and Ultimate Alliance 2 have both been raised to $59.95 AUD. A bundle containing both is now priced at $99.95 AUD. These prices match those originally listed on the Xbox Store.
These prices now wholly contradict those
given to Stevivor by an Activision representative last month.
When Xbox One pricing was inflated upon release, it was assumed those listings were incorrect. Now, it appears quite the opposite.
We’ve gone back to Activision on the issue, but — as in the past with this matter — expect no official comment.
Update: An Activision representative has spoken with Stevivor, choosing not to comment on the pricing discrepancies. Instead, the representative has merely confirmed that the higher pricing is now aligned across platforms.
Update 2: Activision has sent a revised statement which reads as follows:
“Due to an internal error the original PS4 pricing for Marvel Ultimate Alliance was incorrect. This has now been rectified and the price is aligned on both Xbox and PlayStation.”
Again, the previous, cheaper pricing was not addressed.
Thanks for the tip, David.
