£130 =/= $130

You previously asked for proof of it's existence I just pointed out where it was.
However, the cache is being altered and will be gone soon. So time to grab the popcorn, sit back and watch. <-- This

However, another post has an SS with customer service, stated that the site is managed by NA.
It confuses me as to why NA are managing EU store though, but they likely copy and pasted over all the info and didn't think to alter the price when they changed the currency symbol, ya'know?

I asked for proof that right now, in this very instant, that anyone could go to the SE store and confirm the price or buy it, which the site is still down and that is still impossible. It doesn't matter what it was in the past when it was still broken and not purchasable. Right now, this very moment, we have no idea.

Read the support ticket again. US manages the US stores. The ticket was escalated to the EU and UK stores, which is managed by EU/UK.

I haven't seen anyone say that they are actually okay with the £ price. I doubt we are in minority considering the feedback poured into reddit as well.

Exactly. The price is bullshit. That's, if that's the price.

I must have misunderstood the location of the stores managements. My bad.

The whole topic is about the past tensed price. The fact, typo or otherwise, it is something that gets people riled up.
If the topic was about what is happening RIGHT NOW it'd be about how nothing is happening right now and that the store is still offline/broken. (I'm sure there's at least three forum topics for those by now.) THIS topic however is about how people are angry at a price posted a few hours back. Doesn't matter if it'll change, it (the past tensed price) will still cause backlash one way or another until corrected. And if not corrected, the number of pages is goina continue to increase. I'll even join the pitch fork and torch parade then.

While I do see your point, you have to understand people go with the information they have been given. SE brought up the pre-order with a £130 price point, now whether the website went down due to traffic and overload, or because they made a mistake with pricing who knows, but still you can't really blame people for voicing concerns over that price.

Now as for people getting bent out of shape, yeah that's overkill, but I'd rather have people voice an opinion about it and see SE drop the price, than have them say 'oh hey, we fucked up the price and no one said a word'.

As I said in a previous post, FF just became SE's little cash cow, wouldn't surprise me if the suits up top wanted to milk it for every single penny E.A games style.
