I can definitely confirm that the prices are higher at Downpour than they were at AudioGo, at least on some titles:
  • Doctor Who: The Angel's Kiss (a novella) Paid $2.99 on 12/10/12, now $12.95
  • Doctor Who: Shadow of Death (Destiny of the Doctor 2) Paid $1.99 on 2/28/13, now $9.95.
  • Doctor Who: Vengeance of the Stones (Destiny of the Doctor 3) Paid $1.99 on 3/12/13, now $9.95.
  • Doctor Who: Babblesphere (Destiny of the Doctor 4) Paid $2.99 on 4/4/13, now $4.95.
  • Doctor Who: Smoke and Mirrors (Destiny of the Doctor 5) Paid $1.99 on 5/10/13, now $9.95.
  • Doctor Who: Trouble in Paradise (Destiny of the Doctor 6) Paid $2.99 on 6/5/13, now $4.95.

I was purchasing the Destiny of the Doctor series as they came out, then AudioGo US quit adding them after June (presumably because of the merger). Downpour still does not have 7-9 available at any price. Considering that I can buy the downloads directly from their UK site for £3.99 (about $6) or directly from their other source BigFinish.com for $3.99 each, the pricing is a little out of whack. Perhaps $4.95 each might not be bad, but $9.95 is out there. I was looking to purchase another Doctor Who novella last month from AudioGo and I think it was under $5 at AudioGo and now it's $12.95 at Downpour.
