£130 =/= $130

This is a rough idea of the size of the box and figure

AU here as well - I'm buying the digital copy for personal reasons (the art book and other stuff from my previous purchase of the CE when ARR first came out is still collecting dust) and I'm not paying over $200 to buy this from EB Games.

I just want an official response to the damn matter instead of being passed around and dodging the direct questions.

Because right now in the US;

1) They're able to pre-order, right now.
2) They're getting it cheaper.
3) They've just had more servers brought up to help ease the stress of the US Store.... because y'know, those poor NA people and their slow-loading cart, such a burden.

I'd cry laughing if they were using the EU allocated servers to do so.

I'd cry laughing if they were using the EU allocated servers to do so.

After all that's happened today that wouldn't surprise me in the least.

£130!? No way in hell am I parting with that much money.

It's so amazing how people keep their jobs at SE or even get them to start with when they are lazy enough to not even use google to convert currencies. It is usally a rip off that they do euros = dolars... but pounds??? Is it really woth it ruining your companies name just for a small cash grab like this? I'm still waiting for the Add on support and EU datacenters.

After being so lame and not even having a datacenter for EU when even free to play games have it.. they manage to pulls something like this. Another thing i don't understand is how can they also manage to not be able to have their site working for a simple pre order.... the early access days look promising.

that's how it's been working with subscription prices, since the game was released; EU been paying more all along...which ofc is ridiculous, and needs to be fixed. So actually we should get expansion for free, since we already paid for it several times over, cause SE don't know the difference between euro and dollar.
I hope it costs 130sek in Sweden, that would be quite the bargain (22$ish) but obviously they wouldn't make THAT mistake...

I really hope this is a clerical error, because £130 is an outrageous price for an expansion.

I remember my Diablo III CE pre-order cost $140 in Australia (yes, including the "Australia tax"), and it contained more than the Heavensward CE which would come to around $250 Australian dollars BEFORE the "Australia tax". For us Kiwis it's $261. That's enough to buy 3-4 recently released non-CE games.

They confirmed it earlier today on Twitter for SE-EU, it IS the price

I'm in the U.S. and I still can't find justification for me to spend $130 for a video game...repeat...VIDEO GAME. If it's true that they are just swapping currency symbols then that REALLY sucks for you guys.

I'm doing the digital download and that's going to be the end of it. Not going to give in to bulls!@t just because it's there.
