£130 =/= $130

And there we have it, like I said: http://www.shopto.net/video-games/pc...iv-heavensward

UK-Based Store, this is the normal version, on sale for £22.85 with a RRP £30.

They don't have the Digital CE up yet, but I guarantee it'll be about £35, like every other reasonable retailer does.

That was never the issue, the Digital CE was always about right with pricing, it was the Physical CE that was Borked in £'s

No, this most certainly is not normal. Other CE games are never priced gouged as much as this in the UK. They even took the effort to price the digital CE of Heavensward correct at £45, as opposed to $60 and €60.

You might be eager to get ripped off by SE, but we are not. We're British, goddamn it.

Fact is I am not the one who will get ripped off by them since for me the price most likely will be 130€. Also the UK price seems to be a mistake, so it will get fixed soon anyway.

No it wasn't. The Digital version isn't as badly fucked as the Physical CE but it still is.

$60 games always retail in the UK for a RRP of £39.99 and shops end up selling them for £35ish, SE were selling it for £45.

I said It's 'about' right, which it is, £5 difference only is acceptable in my opinion instead of nearly £40 difference for Physical CE, which is just.....

Still no update eh?

We're still getting an estimate on when the site will be back online.
We're aware everyone wants to get a CE and will notify you beforehand

That's a really douchey thing to say. "I'm not getting ripped off, so I don't care if others are" is what you're basically saying.

[Katsaria]

Hilarious thing is that it isn't worth $130 to begin with. Looks like you folks are getting screwed harder than we are.

[Alberel]

The teaser site for Heavensward was just updated with pre-order details and pricing.

Here's the NA site: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/heavensward/

Note the detailed breakdown on pricing for all editions of the expansion.

Here's the EU site: http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/heavensward/

Notice the suspicious omission of all pricing details even though they have an entire section dedicated to pricing.

I get the distinct impression they're re-evaluating the pricing for the EU and that is the real reason for the extended downtime on the store.

[TheFolant]

You watch. If they lower the price of the physical CE to put it more in line to what it should be, but up the price of the Digital CE and stand-alone to compensate.

[Fyce]

£129.00 confirmed.
