£130 =/= $130

That's good, very little reason to get the physical one in that case.

Correct it was £44.99, physical was ofc £129.99. So that's £85 for a small Dragon statue, art book, soundtrack and a blu ray "Making of" of Trailers. Oh and the box.

I don't think the Heavensward Collector's Edition comes with a soundtrack. xD

I bought ARR on Steam so I don't even really have the option. I'll have to get Heavensward on Steam too. Even if I could buy the physical CE, I sure as hell wouldn't pay the extra $90 for some silly trinkets. :|

Ignore this lol. Was going to try and come up with some way to buy the game for cheap.

Today $130 (USD) = £122 (EUR), £130 (EUR) = $137 (USD).

Whats your point ?

People are talking about dollars and pounds.

Thats all well and good however the issue that UK players are facing is that our currency is stronger and thus worth more. I.e. 1 USD at Current exchange rate not including for taxes on conversion is worth 0.67 GBP; therefore the 130 USD that is being charged in America is equivalent to £87.80 GBP. Even if you were to add on a fee of 5% which would be the equivalent of the 1% paypal charge on bank transfer + 3.9% charged for payment by card fixed fee it would still only come to £92.19 GPB which is significantly (£37.81) less than we would have to pay in USD. So I think the best thing for us to do is find a supplier in the US, buy a whole load of collectors editions from them and then resale them in the UK for less than £130; bulk shipping of the copies would probably still come to less that the £37.81/copy difference in price!

I wouldn't be surprised, I just thought I heard them mention it in the stream on Saturday.

Unless they are regional coded, not sure if they are.

Of course they are. Not coding by region would let people order things from across the world, and we wouldn't want that! >_>

Anyway ppl should wait until the store becomes available again to check for the "final" prices. If it's 130£, €, $ .. well.. who cares? In EU the customers always pay more for games, software, hardware and similar products and no one complains though it is clear the value of the product does not match the price. I don't care at least. I would pay even 150€ or more for it since I want to have it.
