£130 =/= $130

I just wanted to add another voice to this thread, so that SE understands they did a bad. If the CE Edition was the same price as the one at launch or had a fair conversion from dollars/euros to pounds, I would buy it. I don't actually care about any of the extras apart from the blu-ray, I just like to help fund my favourite game, but I can't justify buying it when they are clearly taking giving us the short straw, I'm just going to buy the digital edition instead unless its fixed relatively soon.

YUP, it looks batty o_O
Was just pointing out it's there. I could wait 5 years for that price lol

Just chiming in here to add my voice. I'm used to games converting really badly when priced for the UK but never THIS badly. I've never seen a complete 1:1 pricing conversion like this. There is absolutely no tax or duty that can account for such a price hike which would mean this price point is pure greed... I have to say I'm shocked SE. I thought you were better than this.

Confirmed that EU can only get the physical CE from the SE store now, too. So they can charge whatever they want, I guess!

You can have the extra money for the physical CE from me once you've adjusted it to the price it should be, SE, that is, the correctly converted price. Until then, you can keep that ridiculous rip-off price up as long as you like, I ain't touching it.

Your choice, extra for physical, or less for digital; I'm eager to get the physical so the money is all but yours, once you stop taking us UK folk for fools.

I'm in the optimistic camp that's guessing that the £129 was a placeholder figure, substantiated by the fact that it couldn't be added to the shopping basket this morning. The store isn't being DDoS'd by avid Eorzeans - the staff are just waiting on the correct £££ price sign-off from the Finance Director who himself is trying to balance his market reports against his projected costs to determine whether S-E should be charging £90 or £95. Once that's been signed off and ratified by the required executives, the store will be updated and put back online and there was much rejoicing etc etc

My only wonder is why it's taking so long.
