    Not everyone is as eager to be ripped off as you.

    And since you mentioned €150. The UK one costs the equivalent of €180+.
    Then they should just not buy it. It is not about being ripped off. Customers just need to understand that this is nothing special or any different from, for example, buying steam games in the eu and russia before the region lock was activated for all games. You just payed 50% more in the eu by default and most buyers did not even notice.

    In the end, I still recommend checking the prices once the store is available again. Maybe they won't even be that high as many assume but I doubt it. Most ce's in my country start at 100€ and some even cost up to 300€. Ofc, that is still not as much as UK ppl might have to pay, but thats how it is.

    Maybe I do not understand those who are surprised by the pricing but for me it seems fine the way it is.

    No, this most certainly is not normal. Other CE games are never priced gouged as much as this in the UK. They even took the effort to price the digital CE of Heavensward correct at £45, as opposed to $60 and €60.

    You might be eager to get ripped off by SE, but we are not. We're British, goddamn it.

    I'm pretty sure S/E must be fans of The Pixies, they've probably been singing 'gouge away' for the best part of the day rubbing their hands at all us U.K. folk

    And there we have it, like I said: http://www.shopto.net/video-games/pc...iv-heavensward

    UK-Based Store, this is the normal version, on sale for £22.85 with a RRP £30.

    They don't have the Digital CE up yet, but I guarantee it'll be about £35, like every other reasonable retailer does.

    The boxed is limited supply, And i heard via reddit its likely to be only SE online store exclusive. Soon find out though. If push comes to shove, il just get standerd, which will upset me as i got 1.0 and 2.0 Boxed CE's One sealed one opened.

    That was never the issue, the Digital CE was always about right with pricing, it was the Physical CE that was Borked in £'s

    No it wasn't. The Digital version isn't as badly fucked as the Physical CE but it still is.

    $60 games always retail in the UK for a RRP of £39.99 and shops end up selling them for £35ish, SE were selling it for £45.

    I said It's 'about' right, which it is, £5 difference only is acceptable in my opinion instead of nearly £40 difference for Physical CE, which is just.....
