£130 =/= $130

[Reynhart]

maybe I am wrong but I don't remember the 2.0 CE price was 1£ = 1$

I don't remember the price for ARR CE.
But HW Digital CE is £44.99, so it's not a "general price model" even now.

I haven't been able to see if anyone made a comment towards it but... I've mentioned that when Sony released the playstation Vita that the item was listed as $249 and £249. When the price reduced, it was to $199 and £199. I'm not sure if there was a different Euro price but Sony didn't change that price model but I don't think that SE will on this.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's pretty crappy but it sounds like there's precedence in some part of the video game market where this happens.

I think people dont comment because not many people even own a vita so they ignore it. You dont see it happen often when it does they get a horrible backlash.

Im a NA player, but I think it sucks that you guys are having to pay more. =/

[Airget]

I am appalled.

The US CE costs $130 which is equal to £87.95

The UK CE costs £130 which is equal to $192.15

Therefore, we are paying £42.05 more for the Collector's edition. Is this a mistake? Are UK buyer's being offered something extra for £42.05 or is it pure greed?

Honestly maybe you need to re-evaluate your knowledge of the Euro it's been going through some issues lately.

If it shows the graph next to the conversion you will notice that yes while Back in January 2014 it was worth around 1.4 to the 1 american dollar it's taken a nose dive since then and has dipped quite a bit since this year.

So be quick to call SE "Greedy" if you want but when XIV came out last year the Euro was strong at least stronger than it is now, but since it's grown weaker yes the price is adapting to the weaker Euro.

One of these things is Euro. One of them is Pounds. One of them is Dollars.

Giving people a lecture on value of a currency without even knowing the symbols ಠ_ಠ

Or...you totally missed the point where the "unfair" price is not for "euro" but for "pounds" and, as of march 2015, the pound-dollar exchange rate stands at $1.48464.

And you may need to re-evaluate your knowledge of this thread, the UK doesn't use the Euro, we use the Pound, you know, the £ symbol, £1 = $1.48.

You may want to research what the United Kingdom uses then come back here and see how clueless you look right now for making that post.

Airget, I trade Forex. And while you're right that the Euro is basically at parity with USD, you should be looking at cable, since its GBP and USD that are the currencies in the post you quoted.

1GBP=1.48USD, more or less.

so 130USD = 87.1GBP

and 130GBP = 192.4USD

ie SE are greedy, money grubbing thieves.

EDIT: beaten to the punch, I see
