£130 =/= $130

This is absolutely disgusting.

I love this game, I really do. I'd be content to play it, to pay for it, for the next ten years. But this is the kind of thing that just infuriates me. How the hell can Yoshida and SE be so damn cheap, so damn disrespectful? We would pretty much be paying 50% more than those in the US. What is the justification for this, besides blind greed? Why on earth should i continue to support a company, a product when those that have made it are clearly trying to rob me?

I'm not just thinking about passing on the CE, which I was dead set on getting, I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription over this farce. Screw this, why the hell should i support a company that does something like this?

I'm sure SE's bean counters too into account "angry Brits who cancel their subs" and "angry Brits who decide not to come back to the game, costing us a 3.0 sale and subs" when they made their decision to rob us blind

the question is...would you have the same reasoning if you had to pay 50% less then let say USA ? I doubt

You do know that people from other regions have come to this thread and agreed with us, right? Or have you got some stereotypical view of us brits that would prevent it being the other way around?

Well, I'm pretty sure americans would have the same reaction if they had to pay far more than english, right ?

[MeiUshu]

yep but Brits wouldnt complain they pay 50% less then US..which is exactly my point, I didnt hear a single US person say bring our prices up, right ? same as I wouldnt hear a single Brit say bring our prices at the level of the USA if the situation was reversed, you agree ?: I did say it seems a slight bit exagerated but the system works as intended.. unfortunately...some countries for the same goods pay far more then others because the value of their money or what they earn or call it the way you want allows them to. Which is also one of the reasons you have region locked stuff and you cant take advantage of low prices from another country while you do not reside on that country

What I think SE should do is to capitalize on there greed and increase the US version price match the Euro one... hehe

Pssst SE, you should of just started pre-orders as "sold out" straight away then made an ebay account selling CE edition at obscene amounts. Missed opportunities!

[TiasiaGwend]

Was thinking of buying a nice CE box but this price gouging is insane. Oh well, normal edition for me... though really I should just wait for steam sale version. Not happy

I thought 5 & 8 (pages 12 & 15) are the most relevent.

It was late when I posted this last night, but to me this is a blatent breach of EU law.

We in the UK are being asked to pay a high premium for contents worth less. No, nobody in the US is gonna ask for their prices to increase, same as we wouldn't if the situation were reversed. But that doesn't mean we can't ask for a fairer price and pay the actual value of the physical contents which has been paired accurately between NA and JP.

There is zero excuse for pricing it at 130GBP other than absolute price gouging and that is absolutely bullshit.

You can't just ignore it just because it isn't happening to you.
