    Neither you nor I know the reasoning behind the larger cost for UK do we? No, we dont....so your harebrained attempt to make it unjustified it is just as invalid.
    Insulting your logic isn't the same as insulting you. We all have the occasional dumb idea; that doesn't make us all dumb.

    I may not know the reasoning behind the UK costs, but VAT has been repeatedly pointed out to be 20%, which leaves, what, 30 GBP unaccounted for? If you really think it costs them 30 GBP per unit to ship. . .and that's not counting that the buyers are still going to be charged separate shipping, anyway.

    On the front page of the site it says All games have free shipping. So can't be for Shipping.

    Like how the NA store says free shipping on anything over $100 but doesn't count preorders? >_>

    Unless the EU store actually does do free shipping, in which case I kinda want my $8 back. :P

    I dont know what it costs to mass ship stuff to the UK, do you? Do you have solid proof as to where it will ship from? Someone said they ship from the UK some pages back but posted no link. Bottom line is the price isnt changing and nobody knows the reason for the higher cost. Complaining in here isnt going to do anything.

    As crappy as it is -- Dont like it? Dont buy it.

    You have become like a child stamping their foot repeating the same thing again and again.
    Oh, I have plenty of posts left, I just try not to clutter multiple pages. This will be my last reply to you. Show me that proof that it will be shipped from the UK aside from another posters word.... You are the child here, stomping their feet that they arent getting their way. Now go to your room.

    As an estimate based on online UPS shipping tables, about 5 GBP per kg, max. So, for the CE to warrant 25 GBP shipping, it would need to be 5 kg, and that's using the worst rate I saw. More like 8+ kg on the more reasonable rates I saw.

    I've found UPS shipping tables to never quite meet my needs. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if the storefront uses bad shipping rates. I sent a motherboard box that had to be packed similar to the way Amazon packed my Tales of Xillia CE to some place in Canada (about 2533.1 miles) and it cost me $39.39 by UPS Ground.

    Canada mysteriously has shit shipping rates. >_>

    But to think that a company like SE would be paying 30 GBP in shipping per individual CE like he's trying to claim? Yeah, no.

    Is it a Sony/Other practice? I remember that the PS Vita was launched at virtually the same numbers across the world. And I think when it first got its price drop, they dropped the price to the same number.

    Edit: I mean, I think I've seen other launches of things come with the same "launch price". Vita launched $249.99 / 249.99 GBP. When it's price dropped to $199.99 it went to 199.99 GBP

    I wouldn't know, to be honest. Like I said several pages back, I'm an NA customer and have never had to deal with it. >_>

    To quote someone else. It almost looks like they're double applying VAT to the UK price...
