I bought the game GT7 yesterday & don't know why the game cost me 80$ for the standard edition when every other Sony first party game is 70$ , on both of my accounts it's the same price 80$ or 79€ one is UK and the other is USA? When it's listed on playstation website 70$???

1. Screen needs to be bigger.
2. Why you bought game for 80 BEFORE you understand why it costs 80 not 70?
3. You can cancel pre-order
 
Okay here another screen
How I am going to understand I mean Who to ask to understand while I pre-order..

"Bigger" was a joke because right now your screenshot is too big

"Who to ask?" - Sony. Before payment. Did you see on the payment screen that price is =80?
 
Here in Europe is 69,99€ for the PS4 and 79,99€ for the PS5.
Yes there's a $10 or £10 price difference between PS4 and PS5 versions of games at the moment.
 
I didn't buy through Saudi Arabian account I don't even have one I bought it through my US account I mention that in the thread
 
I would ask Sony/PS customer support about this. It should be $70 for the US PS5 version. Ask for a refund if they don't adjust.

That's not how it works. You cannot connect to another region's store through your console, only the region to which the account is registered - and only that region's content will function with an account for that region*.

If you're seeing, and paying, Saudi prices, you're connected to the Saudi store. If you were connected to the US store, you'd see, and pay, US prices. That means you've either connected to the store through a Saudi (or other sub-regional account which may not have its own store, like Egypt) account or you've bought it through your web browser and it's taken payment appropriate to your IP address... which if you're in Saudi Arabia would be Saudi prices.

Either way, the solution is to cancel your order, buy $70 of PSN cards valid for the USA, and buy the game through your console's PS Store while logged into your US account using the US PSN cards.


*This is to prevent people from connecting to stores with much cheaper prices, and from being locked out of content they've bought due to region conflicts; you can of course set up accounts in any region.
