Why is the Daft Punk album more expensive on iTunes?

Why did I pay £8.99 for the new Daft Punk album when it is £4.99 on google Play? This happens regularly with new albums, it's a complete scam, and off putting for anyone wanting to buy the album and support the groups.

Espelho,
The prices are clearly marked, so feel free to purchase it at the store that gives you the best price and convenience.
Google Play sells songs in MP3 format, which is fully compatible with iTunes and virtually every other player, program, and edevice.
There is no need to pay a higher price.

  • Why is the iphone5 so much more expensive in Canada than in the US??

    With the Canadian dollar near parity, why is the cost of the new iPhone5 so much more in Canada???

    It's not.
    Announced US pricing is for a subsidized device on 2yr contract.
    All other pricing that I have seen for iPhones in other country's is for non-subsidized devices.

  • Why is the iPod touch considerably more expensive on Apple's own website than others?

    For example the 32GB iPod touch is £249 on Apple but only £219 on both Currys and Argos, and cheaper again on Amazon?

    If they are authorized resellers, then buying a new item should give you an item as good as anything you would get directly from Apple itself.  Authorized resellers meet strict contractual agreements with Apple to earn their authorized status, so the products they actually sell will be identical to the same item, sold new, at an Apple store.
    Apple pricing is a bit of mystery often.  Resellers agree to a number of terms or limitations on how much they can alter the price as set by Apple itself, but I gather those limitations are different for different products.  Usually, for example, Apple computers vary little in price from Apple or any reseller, but resellers can bundle "extras" like RAM or hard drive upgrades over stock build, or software, to sweeten their offerings.
    As you mention, iPods seem to be one of the most variable priced items, so maybe it is just a matter of Apple giving resellers more latitude with them over other products?

  • Why are the new iPhones much more expensive in Canada?

    Looking at the Apple Canada website I see that the iPhone 5C is priced from $599 (yes - 500 and 99 !!), whereas the US price is $99.  The difference for the 5S is similar.
    Why this huge discrepancy, and will it be corrected soon?  I certainly don't plan to get one anytime soon if not.

    Thanks for that.  I didn't take enough notice of the fine print, but it's odd that Apple should advertise it differently on the US and Canadian online store websites.
    I will wait and see what (if any) deals come along via my carrier.  I'm due for a new phone anyway.

  • Why is the iPhone 4S $600 more expensive in Australia compared to the U.S; where is the price disparity justification?

    Would someone please expatiate on the price disparity between U.S. and Australian iPhone 4S.

    The prices you're seeing advertized in the US are subsidized by the carriers in exchange for a 2 year contract.  Full (non-contracted) prices are similar to thoese in Australia

  • Album more expensive than sum of tracks

    I've found that with some albums, the album is more expensive than all the individual tracks together.
    For example, take Staind's new album:
    http://music.ovi.com/za/en/pc/Product/Staind/Staind/19390411
    Note: I can only see the South African pricing - don't know how the pricing works in other countries.
    It contains 10 tracks, costing R8 each, giving a total of R80.
    However, the album costs R100. Why is the album more expensive? Does it contain anything more than the tracks? This is one example, but I've seen a few others as well.

    No reason to buy a more expensive album, if you can get the individual tracks separately for less.
    I have no insight to record lable pricing. This one sounds a bit like an accident/mistake.
    Compare also the pricing in, e.g., Apple's iTunes store and other music services that are offered in your country; if they sell the tracks or the album as MP3's or AAC's, or even WMA, you can use them on your Nokia phone. Make sure you buy them without any DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection ("plain" audio files).

  • Why is the support so bad and expensive?

    Putting in my serial number of a product that is now useless tells me I'm not covered by the support so I have to pay £25 to have someone call me.
    When I put in all my details so I can phone Apple myself I then get given a premium rate number to phone and when I get through I start getting asked the same questiuons I answered online ( to get my case number ) so the call is going to end up costing more than it should. The case number is supposed to make the call quicker.
    Why is help so expensive here?
    Why can't I just email support?

    John Galt, the poster already did that as he said in this discussion. He said:
    I'm sure with the millions of dollars Apple make every day they can pay staff for support. Instead of that they create a forum where people can do their work for them for free.
    I've posted details about my problem herehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/25581520#25581520

    Otherwise, your only question "why is the support so bad and expensive" stands. It has been answered in this Discussion, which will effectively close it for those willing to help.

  • Why are calls to certain countries more expensive ...

    Hello!
    I just wonder why calls to ordinary phones are more expensive to certain countries than to others. For example a call to Afghanistan is 30 cents a minute, a call to Somalia or Guinea is 57 cents a minute, but a call to France is only 2 cents a minute. Why is that? Are you working on a solution to that? We have many immigrants in my country who would like to be able to make cheap calls to their home countries and not only to rich western countries.
    Thank you!
    Greetings from Andreas from Sweden

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. Forall items in the store the prices are set by the content providers, and with US prices you need to add on the state's sales tax to the listed price, which I think can be up to something like 7 percent.

  • WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????

    WHY ARE THE UK USERS PAYING MORE FOR THE CLOUD SERVICES????
    OR IS IT JUST LAZYINESS THAT YOU CHANGE THE DOLLAR SIGN FOR THE POUND?

    it obviously doesn't, but then again some people or organisation only care about price when it comes to purchasing their laptops, and it is hard to justify making a special model for a selected few.
    Sure everything can be done if there is a market for it, but Lenovo won't know how large the market is before hand, as such they are hedging a bet by not moving with the market (which Lenovo have done on many occasions). I guess the finanical return is not the worth the risk for Lenovo to keep the 4:3 or 16:10 screens.
    But this debate has been going back and forth for a long time, so no point bringing it up again and again.

  • Can we send more than 50 files ...even at the cost of a more expensive subscription level?

    Can we send more than 50 files ...even at the cost of a more expensive subscription level?
    Thanks.

    Hi Val,
    Nice to see you in the forums again!
    There is currently just the one subscription level for Adobe Send. If you want to send more than 50 files per transaction, you can try zipping up some or all of the files and sending them in batches. However, the ZIP files can't be previewed by your recipients, and tracking information pertains only to the full ZIP file.
    Best,

  • Itunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 the devices were no more recognized by itunes

    Since I updated to itunes 10.6 and iOS 5.1 the devices were no more recognized by itunes (only be Win7 64bit) and the itunes 10.6 diagnose crashes the the programme

    Try the link below, it solved a similar problem for me.  I think the problem is the iTunes 64-bit installer.  Step 5 fixed my problem.  Also running Windows 7 64-bit
