£130 =/= $130

Well I don't know about you guys but I'm writing to BBC Watchdog about this! Its sickening they want to do this to us https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mg74/contact is the website to make the complaint. I would implore anyone UK and Global to take a few minutes to fill it out and submit. We need to do something about this at the very least get some backing on how unfairly we have been treated.

So after the pre-order site reopened the cost for physical Collector's in UK is still 130 pounds? This is because I live in Australia and the EU Square Enix website like to IP block their traffic so I am left with the Australia website that only has digital games only. Thank you for anyone that can help

EB is one of the retailers that will be carrying the Physical/boxed CE here in Aus.
Look around at the various AUS threads where the mod has already confirmed this ^^

Our digital CE price is $68.99 AUS - So only $10 more then the NA equivalent.
I am interested to see the price of the physical CE.

This has taken it too far now, why are we being penalised for living in the EU, why is the physical version of this collectors edition not converted correctly with the rates that NA or JP have to pay. I mean seriously SE get your heads out off your money grabbing asses there is no way that a really crap dragon statue and an art book is £80 as the difference in price between the digital and physical copies is ridiculous. £129.99 for physical and £44.99 for digital version. I would say do the maths and work this out but obviously you guys can't even do that as you think conversion rate works by changing the currency label.
I'm sorry SE but I think I shall now pay you in Gil I converted my UK money it's completely fair to do as you have just shown us by this ridiculous price tag so now I shall pay my subscription in Gil to you.
I still can't believe we never even got a response from a dev about the cost of it you just ignored us bad move SE.

Done. I urge others to fill this in, you never know.

Even if you have pre-ordered at least you might get discount on the price.

I've pre ordered the ce window digital download and a phsyical ps4 standard copy.
That way I get the ce stuff and can apply it to my SE account and still have the ce stuff on my ps4.
They also couldn't confirm when I asked yesterday that there would be a ce ps4 digital download version.

You can get the PC standard edition for only £21.86 on shopto.net. So are they really saying that all those extras are worth an extra £110? Hell the Type 0 HD CE was only about £76.

Write for Metal Gear Solid V too...
Since they are selling the collectors for £100 and US is selling at $100

The more iffy/grey area is that we are not allowed to purchase a copy within the EU when we are part of the EU and EU law clearly states:

The EU rules give you more rights when you purchase services abroad, for example:

shopping at a supermarket
buying products online
getting your hair cut
contracting a construction company to build or renovate your house
booking your holidays at a travel agency
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

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

I strenously suggest writing to BBC Watchdog.

One of the sad things is, that if the CE doesn't sell well, SE will think that there is no demand for stuff like this in our region (UK)

They won't see it as the price thing, they'll see it as our fault. Its ridiculous, I cant even justify spending that much money for an expansion, maybe if we had beta tests and we had played with flying and such ourselves and it was AMAZING, then maybe just maybe I can justify it, but no. Sadly I have to bring up other publishers...Tales of Xillia collectors editions were both 80 pounds, both had a much bigger figure, an artbook, and a beautiful compact mirror, that was value for money.

And as such, I purchased a copy of each.
