£130 =/= $130

Doing a straight $-£ conversion will ultimately come back to bite em on the bum ;p

The rage on reddit is quite real

I also haven't seen a single person who has successfully been able to pre-order it. I was one of the first in line at 7am, and had errors right off the bat.

Ye same here, woke up at 6 just to be awake on time for 7. I've seen people say they will still buy it, people don't want to lose out on rare items and the CE is limited in quantity, but they've stated that even though they'll buy it the price is still outrageous.

Edit: I was going to buy 2 CE's since we are two players in this household, however if the price is still the same when the site comes back up, we are considering other options to say the least.

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.

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.

Ditto, was up at 7 with the page loaded and kept popping up errors.. Makes me wonder just how limited the CE will be, knowing my luck the site will be up and running when I'm out getting my daughter from school and it'll sell out before I'm back!

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

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.

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

I feel like just importing it from an EU country... I'll get it £19 cheaper, so long as SE are going by their NA/Worldwide region codes like in ARR release.

[Effie_Bigglesworth]

Very disappointed. Was ready to pre-order as soon as it became available... but now, not so sure. Angry and disappointed. This is a huge fuck you to your fans SE. Pricing and marketing might be totally different departments from the devs but get those gits in here to listen to this. You might sell thousands of copies at this price, but when you make this kind of decision, you are selling faith and trust in the company.

Wait a minute. This is for a little plastic dragon? Must think we're stupid.

I was pretty excited for this and thought the CE would be a definite purchase. If the price was the same across all regions, I likely would still got for it, but something about this doesn't really sit well with me. Not sure whether I'll go for it now, it doesn't seem right.
