I was checking out elden ring price and was looking at the bundles and was dumbfounded by the pricing. One bundle(pic 1) showed basegame + DLC, and then DLC again with soundtrack/digital stuff. Essentially the dlc is being shown as bought twice! Now the math is a bit confusing but the bundle price ends up costing $10-15 usd more than buying individually(assuming the soundtrack/digital stuff being about $10-15 usd itself). Now bundle 2(pic 2) shows blatantly, buying the individual basegame and dlc costing $76 usd, they even show it on the bundle screen. Yet the bundle of the basegame and dlc costs $80 usd… Wtf!? Both bundles are not only not saving you any money but rather charging you extra for buying the bundle.. Lol. Apparently Bandi Namco don't understand basic math or are deliberately ripping off people. I've seen this maybe once or twice before on steam bundles, so this is just a PSA so you don't get ripped off.

Welcome to Steam store UI experience, where these types of things happen a lot
I am new to steam, can you report bundles?
You arent looking at bundles, you are looking at packages, it even says that on it. Bundles are dynamic and can adjust thier prices. Packages always have the same price.
You’re not even comparing the same content. The base game and DLC for $80 doesn’t include the soundtrack and art book. That’s your $20 difference. You’re not buying the DLC “twice”. Also, as another said, Steam outright shows you what the better deal is and is basically telling you not to buy the package because of the individual rice of the two items. You lack critical thinking.
One says deluxe premium my dude T . T
100%. always check all options
this week it was cheaper for me to buy hell let loose with 2 dlc uniforms in a bundle than the game alone lol
Can we remove this post just on the grounds of the two exclamation points in the title ?
In Kazakhstan it is half the price.
