£130 =/= $130

[DisappointedMan]

I wonder if they expect me to pay for this.
Do they expect me to pay for this?
Because I'm not paying for it.

If it was just a bug with the pricing I would have expected to have heard something by now as it could loose SE customers and silence makes it worse.

Just wait for SE to update the Store to a more 'reasonable' pricing then watch everyone crying about it be like "Ooh I love you really SE I was only kidding".

I actually hadn't posted on these forums since 2011, but this was the final straw... That price gouge is silly.

for my country is just not available, I can only have it shipped in France and the UK but I dont live there at all... so in short, it cannot be pre-ordered or bought unless I have an address in one of those countries. I fournd a pre-order on Amazon that luckily I can have it delivered to my home address, hopefully although not a collector, I will have my copy.

Square Enix's site is not working currently and has been off the entire (my morning)

£130!?



lol gtfo SE

well I don't understand why people are getting so annoyed by this.
Firstly $129.99 is base line price - this does not include tax and some states charge 7% which would the equivalent to $139.09 now todays rate is £1=$1.49 which would then be the equivalent to £93.88.
Now obviously we don't pay american tax so take $129.99 which equals to £87.73 then add 20% VAT which would then equal £105.28.

However then we run into a little known problem called the EU. They want to regulate everything and if you want to sell video games within any EU country you need to pay to have a product evaluated and age rated etc and unfortunately these costs are passed down to the consumer. It is something we have to deal with and if consumers don't want to pay it and if you keep hounding company's for passing down these costs they will just give us the <^> and say well screw bringing out games in the EU so please shut up.

Your argument falls way short... It's ONLY UK that had that price on the site. Rest of EU have it at 130 Euro, which is £92... No need for all that Tax shite, because then everyone in EU would have to pay that ridiculous price, which they don't
