It's not really a choice. It's a decision between which is the better of two evils. If you're on a tight budget, then you don't exactly want to be overpaying for something - why should we? I "understand" it's related to the Sony/PS3 data theft incident, but instead of Square-Enix dealing with online security directly, they've dumped that task onto their consumers' shoulders. We are now having to undertake the online security risk ourselves dealing with this "dodgy" third-party company (ClickandBuy).

I'm furious that the Japanese are being given preferential treatment in this matter, as always. If you ever needed proof that Square-Enix treats their playerbase differently depending on where they live, you've got it right there. Not the first time I've seen it and I doubt it'll be the last! We are not second-class citizens because we don't live in Japan.
