£130 =/= $130

It's super tricky as we aren't buying a tangible product, rather we are paying for a license to use some software. I believe that the CE bundle is technically a free bonus on the side of that license regardless of the price premium?

Grey area for sure! One thing I am fairly certain on is that the EU orders will be shipped from the London office, thus handling and shipping expenses can't really be used as justification.

Given the weak euro, doing some homework on this could be worth £30-£40, well worth it for a few emails methinks!

I bet good money that if the pound continued it's current freefall all the way to below the dollar, SE would suddenly remember that exchange rates exist.

It's not the price in euros people are raging about, it's the price in GBP. A few people up thread have converted it to around 190 dollars so we are paying quite a bit extra compared to the Americans and the rest of the EU.

That's a really douchey thing to say. "I'm not getting ripped off, so I don't care if others are" is what you're basically saying.

No. Thats just because ppl repeat themselves and think I am getting ripped off. That's all.

Well that's disappointing. I really wanted to get the physical CE, I love this game and I love *STUFF* but I can't justify the confirmed £130 price tag. I'll likely preorder the digital CE at some point. Heck I can even go out and buy myself a neat dragon statue and an art book with the money I saved and it'll still be cheaper. Goddamit Squeenix :c

SE can keep their kinder egg dragon, I'm not paying £42 more for it. As for the artbook? ebay.

At least you guys have the option of buying the Physical CE, id have to pay around £140 because im a steam user, so im getting screwed £50 more then i should be. Seriously why can it not be made to work with steam codes?
