£130 =/= $130

[OtakuChrash]

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?

welcome in the gamin industry, where $ = € = £

You should have expected that (even though that's not really fair to us Europeans...)

Uhh...No? You rarely see this most games that have been released all done the convert of the prices.

Bloodborne: $59.96 / £49
Type-0: $59.96 / £36.85

So i believe this must be an error or SE is being greedy right now :P

Is that so ? Then UK are a lucky bunch

Even when the dollar was "low", the €/$ conversion in gaming industry was 1/1. Because ain't anybody got time for a 114€ game when you could put it at 130€ (or 60 in place of the normal 55. duh)

(tbh, I really thought £=$ in the UK because last time I went there, games had the same price tags than in my country... except not in the same currency ;( It may have changed since then though)

From my experience some companies adjust their prices and some companies don't.

And then you have some cases, such as Brazil, where government regulations jack up the price by an insane amount.

You most likely won't be able to apply the heavensward keys cross-region. An NA account will require an NA copy of heavensward and vice versa.
