    I sent off an email enquiring about it yeah. Still not 100% sure if licensed software falls under this regulation unfortunately. It's well worthwhile popping an email to the uk office mentioning it though, as ever, the more people raise the issue, the more likely something is to actually happen about it.

    And yeah, it's safe to assume that the UK and EU stock draws from the same pool, so a UK no show won't change anything (Except the profit margins!).

    And just to stress the point again, try to remember this pricing nonsense is almost certainly down to SE's finance department rather than anyone we are going to find on here. I fully except the SE-EU team are just as frustrated and powerless about this as we are.

    Well I don't know about you guys but I'm writing to BBC Watchdog about this! Its sickening they want to do this to us https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mg74/contact is the website to make the complaint. I would implore anyone UK and Global to take a few minutes to fill it out and submit. We need to do something about this at the very least get some backing on how unfairly we have been treated.

    Done. I urge others to fill this in, you never know.

    Even if you have pre-ordered at least you might get discount on the price.

    So after the pre-order site reopened the cost for physical Collector's in UK is still 130 pounds? This is because I live in Australia and the EU Square Enix website like to IP block their traffic so I am left with the Australia website that only has digital games only. Thank you for anyone that can help

    EB is one of the retailers that will be carrying the Physical/boxed CE here in Aus.
    Look around at the various AUS threads where the mod has already confirmed this ^^

    Our digital CE price is $68.99 AUS - So only $10 more then the NA equivalent.
    I am interested to see the price of the physical CE.

    Hi Niqoote,

    No I am just curious if the price stayed the same for the Europeans are it appeared before at 130 pounds which I think is a bit far fetched to have 130USD = 130 GBP

    Hope EB is going to put up something soon

    Edit: Looks like someone answered by question earlier they did not changed it and kept it at 130 GBP. I am not sure if this bodes well for us Aussies having to bear the grunt of the exchange rate as well 130 GBP is like 250 AUD or maybe we get lucky to have it at 130AUD lol

    AUS I'm guessing for us here be $250AUD = £129 = USD $190

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD CE US $99 AUS $200

    This has taken it too far now, why are we being penalised for living in the EU, why is the physical version of this collectors edition not converted correctly with the rates that NA or JP have to pay. I mean seriously SE get your heads out off your money grabbing asses there is no way that a really crap dragon statue and an art book is £80 as the difference in price between the digital and physical copies is ridiculous. £129.99 for physical and £44.99 for digital version. I would say do the maths and work this out but obviously you guys can't even do that as you think conversion rate works by changing the currency label.
    I'm sorry SE but I think I shall now pay you in Gil I converted my UK money it's completely fair to do as you have just shown us by this ridiculous price tag so now I shall pay my subscription in Gil to you.
    I still can't believe we never even got a response from a dev about the cost of it you just ignored us bad move SE.
