£130 =/= $130

[Misu]

I've been in the regional UI-business, and developed a lot of code that had to account for regional pricing, symbols, and conversion rates. It is the biggest nightmare to deal with, and prone to errors. I would suspend judgement until someone can even confirm anything on the site once it's fixed and back up.

Im hopeful too the, wonderful world of code is hard to learn. and also a nightmare when it comes to the case sesetivity :S

Didn't we start a war so we didn't have to pay more money to the people across the pond? Seems like its still paying off.

In all seriousness though, yeah that should be adjusted, world currency is a scam anyways, "hey we're running out of money, heck just print more" problem solved.

For the people saying "this happens with every game" or the like. Just look at current US vs UK pricing differences on the SE store (obviously not right now because it's down). Type-0 CE is £79.99 and $99.99, not £1 = $1, FFX/X-2 HD PS4 is £39.99 and $49.99, not £1 = $1. There are many more examples. I'm not sure why they found it appropriate in this case.

I'm amazed that not more people have realized that it said 130 Euro for rest of Europe...

Do you really think it's just UK that is getting it so pricey? Prices are almost always the same for a region, and Europe always have the same...

It's probably just another problem they have had

except that at present 130 euro = £95 so its still £35 cheaper in the EU than the uk

See my above post on other pricing on the SE stores. Almost all other games on their stores don't follow a £1 = $1 pricing structure.

Depends how you look at it.

130 Euro = $137.
£130 = $192.

Ouch.

Exactly, paying £35-£42 extra isn't anywhere near acceptable. Especially when you can see that they've converted the other games that they have from the EU store/NA store in a more acceptable manner. Even the Heavensward Digital CE edition is converted more properly with just a few £'s difference to $.

Absolutely zero chance of me paying £129.99 for the CE. That is BS of the highest order. I urge everyone else to vote with their wallets as well and refuse to buy it until we get a fair price.

A $7 price variance I could understand. I cannot understand a $60~ price variance...
