Controversy[]
In Australia, the price for the service originally cost AU$49.99 across all platforms. When people started to purchase it, they noticed that the prices were AU$66 for the Xbox 360 and AU$79.95 for the PS3. Due to a massive number of complaints, the prices were lowered. However, only the PS3 received any benefits, and the price on the PS3 was reduced to AU$64.95. PS3 owners were also refunded AU$14.95.
