The windows price is obviously in US dollars and the apple price is in Aussie dollars. 

Why is it 98 US is my question when the bundle is worth 80 US.

Aussie tax

Yup. Pretty crazy huh? Such is the struggle of an Aussie playing on the NA server. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the pricing is similar for Canadians too. 

 

Yea. I can confirm.

The windows price is always in the currency that your computers' region is set to.

Windows will always charge the appropriate tax for the region that the computer is set to.  Prices displayed in the windows store are exclusive of tax.  Android and Apple usually get away without paying taxes in whatever jurisdiction they are in ...

really then explain the price difference being exactly the exchange rate hmmmmm?

Well, I just tried purchasing the $98.19 bundle again and it worked. I checked my transaction history through my bank and can confirm I was charged $98.19.

 

I have no idea why it worked this time, and still no idea why there's such a big difference between pricing. I'm just glad I stuck with buying the Windows 10 version's bundle, saving me ~$30.
