£130 =/= $130

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

Edit: Nvm, read it wrong

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.

This is just a joke really, how can you make such a price difference between 2 countries that are just 30km far from each other... don't bring the legal stuff, this is robbery, plain and simple!
And btw, where are the EU servers?

Well if they are going to do this it looks like I won't be buying the physical CE now, there is no reason for using a 1:1 exchange rate. Would you swap a PS4 for a PS Vita and be happy about it? Of course not the PS4 is worth over twice as much similar to how the pound is worth 1.5 times as much as the dollar. Sorry SE but if this continues you may be seeing people contact the EU and see them pass laws that you have to offer fair pricing compared to US and JP, they have that power, they have already done it with mobile communication companies (caps on roaming charges etc).

The Euro is slightly different because the gap is not so bad, 129.99 euros is $136.86 and they can justify that gap a lot better.

Just bumping this thread in hopes they'll pay attention to their EU/UK customers. It really irks me when game companies can't be bothered to do a simple currency conversion. Of course, I'll still buy it as soon as the shop comes up...yes, this is why they do it. :/

UK customers*

Rest of EU have it much lower, and that's why it's most likely just an error in the pricing...

Hopefully. It's awfully quiet on SE's end.. no twitter update for hours and if it was merely a pricing error and the basket issue, it shouldn't be taking this long to resolve.
