    U.K./Europe as a whole always gets the sh!t end of the stick, also add Austrailia and New Zealand to those that get gouged too.
    We don't call Britain rip-off Britain for nothing ;3
    At which point they should fire their distributors and transport providers. $60 to transport a single item (forget that it'd be on a pallet with a bunch of others and transported for a fraction of the cost) from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world is a bit of a joke.

    Even if we say it should be £100 factoring in VAT and a bit more so the SE shareholders can get a new yacht, we're still missing a big chunk of that price gouge.

    VAT is already factored into the total price. Personally I'm stuck waiting for the steam version to appear. I can understand the sheer annoyance of being asked to shell out and extra £30-40 Quid just coz reasons which we'll make up later. I think they went with the euro price as I think they didn't want to clutter the page with various other non euro using countries ( I don't think Norway uses the euro as well as the U.K. )

    Amazon u.k. doesnt seem to have the physical ce edition yet ?

    I contacted Amazon support this morning to ask them about that, they said they could offer no assurances that they would be selling the physical CE.
