I don't care at least. I would pay even 150€ or more for it since I want to have it.

Apparently 20 pages of people complaining cares.

Not everyone is as eager to be ripped off as you.

And since you mentioned €150. The UK one costs the equivalent of €180+.

Hope is near...ish?

When it's something small like $40 -> £40 or $60 -> £60 I can stomach it. But $139 > £139 is just too much to write off. I could buy a whole other copy of the game with the money left over from that price hike!

Then they should just not buy it. It is not about being ripped off. Customers just need to understand that this is nothing special or any different from, for example, buying steam games in the eu and russia before the region lock was activated for all games. You just payed 50% more in the eu by default and most buyers did not even notice.

In the end, I still recommend checking the prices once the store is available again. Maybe they won't even be that high as many assume but I doubt it. Most ce's in my country start at 100€ and some even cost up to 300€. Ofc, that is still not as much as UK ppl might have to pay, but thats how it is.

Maybe I do not understand those who are surprised by the pricing but for me it seems fine the way it is.

No, this most certainly is not normal. Other CE games are never priced gouged as much as this in the UK. They even took the effort to price the digital CE of Heavensward correct at £45, as opposed to $60 and €60.

You might be eager to get ripped off by SE, but we are not. We're British, goddamn it.

Worse thing, has any mod or PR talked about why its 1=1

I'm pretty sure S/E must be fans of The Pixies, they've probably been singing 'gouge away' for the best part of the day rubbing their hands at all us U.K. folk

i was more thinking LOADS OF MONIES

And there we have it, like I said: http://www.shopto.net/video-games/pc...iv-heavensward

UK-Based Store, this is the normal version, on sale for £22.85 with a RRP £30.

They don't have the Digital CE up yet, but I guarantee it'll be about £35, like every other reasonable retailer does.

The boxed is limited supply, And i heard via reddit its likely to be only SE online store exclusive. Soon find out though. If push comes to shove, il just get standerd, which will upset me as i got 1.0 and 2.0 Boxed CE's One sealed one opened.
