£130 =/= $130

I sure as toffees don't agree with the price point here in the UK, but what concerns me even more at the minute is that regardless of the price I can't flippin' pre-order at all because the site is screwed up!!

That said, Why is it that the CE is so expensive?! I was expecting it to be around the £80 mark, but £130 is just ridiculous. Sure, we get the added extras and the statue looks amazing but at almost an almost 50% price hike over the NA version, it's just pure extortion.

Regardless of the obvious discrepancies between the UK and other regions costs, I find the cost overall to be fairly expensive. The actual content included is the same as the ARR CE bar the model. The ARR CE however gave us 30 days of game time which is worth about £9. If we're just looking at the UK prices, we're basically paying £70 more for a model.

Will registering the content code not give us free 30days? It did when I added my PS4 version.

I bought the ARR CE on ebay for £30 new and unsealed at Christmas, got really lucky with finding it, but yeah, totally agree it's a stupid price point. £70 for a model is ridiculous, something I'd expect from AC or Bloodbourne, not a FFMMO. Even the dark souls 2 CE that came with a 12" statue was a heck of a lot cheaper than this!

How is the early access going to work with the physical editions? Are they going to ship out early and actually have the servers up and running, or is it only the download only that get the early access?

If u preorder physical in a store the code will be printed on a recipt. If u preorder a physical online it will be emailed. Is what I belive was said

So if we get the physical, we still have to download it? Doesn't that rather nullify the whole point of having the physical edition? Or is it just an access code to the servers? That's a rather cack-handed way of doing things isn't it? Surely they'd just be better off mailing them early *lol*

I prolly see it as some sort of small patch IM afraid idk how the early access will work for physical copies. Its all I heard the only idea of what i can think of is that its is only a fraction of the game until the physical disc arrives. Cause the disc itself will have the new launcher and the new Game screens attached. But mailing them off early is a good idea xD

If Square Enix converted the price properly it should have been around £90, at the very most £100.
