    hiring a lawyer.
    For these types of services, and others, you have the right to buy from a service provider located in another EU country without

    having the seller refuse to sell to you simply because you live in a different EU country.

    I strenously suggest writing to BBC Watchdog.
    sorry for the late response.

    Not trying to be a d*ck here.

    You keep quoting this but you do realize it only constitutes to EU nation only?

    How is this ruling applicable to services provided from US?

    I would like to repeat what I previously posted.
    Metal Gear Solid V: Collector's Edition are priced at £100 and $100 in USA

    http://www.siliconera.com/2015/03/04...on-announced//

    Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition will be available only for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It will cost $99.99/£99.99 and will include the following

    At most you can argue is why SE selling £129.99 to UK and €129.99 to other EU (Not sure whether this is true or not.... I can't compare the prices as I keep being redirected to shitty Australian SE shop )
    Why aren't you allowed to purchase with €129.99

    Then page 12 of the following http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/...ticle20_en.pdf is applicable
