£130 =/= $130

Because there's no way to confirm that's the actual price because nobody could ever buy it, and people are all up in rage at something that currently doesn't exist. People need to have some patience.

The actual price was stated on their website, on the pre-order page. You are completely out of line dark494. People are actually voicing themselves in an appropriate manner. That 'rage' your talking about, I haven't seen it on this forum. Negative feedback doesn't equal rage and even if people were angry they would still be allowed to be. You can't tell people what or how to feel, simple as.

Show me right now where the price is stated anywhere, that you can confirm and buy it for the price everyone is complaining about. You can't, the site is down, you can't confirm anything right now. Just exercise some patience, or maturity even.

For the record, if it is actually £129.99, yeah it's a bullshit price. But I don't think that's actually the price either. There are dozens of other products and examples on the SE stores that exemplify this. There's no precedence for this, and hence no need to be up in arms this much about something unconfirmed.

You do know what 'was' means right? It's past tense. Voicing concerns have nothing to do with immaturity, on the contrary. I've already stated that there is a possibility that the price could have been an error - however, since we saw the price, it is what it is until stated otherwise. Plain and simple.

Check the pages Cache on google. Though it is in the process of changing the price is still there and still says " £129.99 Available 23/06/2015 Free Shipping"

I am however with you on the fact people are raging early.
People do however have the right to shout and scream about what was posted, even if it was as a mistake. Things do change thankfully, and when/if they fix the price influx, the anger will just drift away. So for now, SE can at least be made aware that the UK is ****ed off at what was posted, mistake or otherwise.

I think they'll fix it personally. SE actually like's it's fans.

Obviously, otherwise this whole topic wouldn't have happened in the first place. I'm not denying there's no such thing as a £129.99 price tag, or saying that someone imagined it and spread a rumor about it.

You previously asked for proof of it's existence I just pointed out where it was.
However, the cache is being altered and will be gone soon. So time to grab the popcorn, sit back and watch.
Regardless of how we think, people will still be angry. SE hasn't screwed us yet, I can't imagine them starting now. Plus, backlash from the EU could have a negative impact on their EU service migration after all. However, another post has an SS with customer service, stated that the site is managed by NA.
It confuses me as to why NA are managing EU store though, but they likely copy and pasted over all the info and didn't think to alter the price when they changed the currency symbol, ya'know?

I asked for proof that right now, in this very instant, that anyone could go to the SE store and confirm the price or buy it, which the site is still down and that is still impossible. It doesn't matter what it was in the past when it was still broken and not purchasable. Right now, this very moment, we have no idea.

Read the support ticket again. US manages the US stores. The ticket was escalated to the EU and UK stores, which is managed by EU/UK.

I haven't seen anyone say that they are actually okay with the £ price. I doubt we are in minority considering the feedback poured into reddit as well.

Exactly. The price is bullshit. That's, if that's the price.

I must have misunderstood the location of the stores managements. My bad.

The whole topic is about the past tensed price. The fact, typo or otherwise, it is something that gets people riled up.
If the topic was about what is happening RIGHT NOW it'd be about how nothing is happening right now and that the store is still offline/broken. (I'm sure there's at least three forum topics for those by now.) THIS topic however is about how people are angry at a price posted a few hours back. Doesn't matter if it'll change, it (the past tensed price) will still cause backlash one way or another until corrected. And if not corrected, the number of pages is goina continue to increase. I'll even join the pitch fork and torch parade then.

While I do see your point, you have to understand people go with the information they have been given. SE brought up the pre-order with a £130 price point, now whether the website went down due to traffic and overload, or because they made a mistake with pricing who knows, but still you can't really blame people for voicing concerns over that price.

Now as for people getting bent out of shape, yeah that's overkill, but I'd rather have people voice an opinion about it and see SE drop the price, than have them say 'oh hey, we fucked up the price and no one said a word'.

As I said in a previous post, FF just became SE's little cash cow, wouldn't surprise me if the suits up top wanted to milk it for every single penny E.A games style.
