That may be the case in Euros, but for the UK the price tag is the equivalent of something around $190 because someone in SE thought a 1:1 price conversion ratio was a good idea.

I hate to say this but you can go to a bank and withdraw whatever money you have in your account however with the ingame items you can't withdraw them and make them real so the whole bank account comparison goes down the hole there.

Btw I don't think $130 is a bad price for the physical items you get. The dragon statue is as even Yoshi-p said was a high quality statue and quite honestly it would be almost about the same if you bought items from the Disney Store. IE i bought my mother who loves Tinkerbell a glass statue for about $19 dollars at christmas time and it's not even two inches in height.

Maybe you can.
There are not many banks that would allow me to withdraw my entire account in cash, and even that cash is basically just paper.
Money is only worth anything because people are willing to do stuff for it..... same for digital collectors editions.

What would you call buying a game off Steam?

I'll give you a hint. It isn't physical.

I bought it was on sale for $20, took me 1.5 hours to beat the game and haven't touched it since. Pretty much assures I would never buy another game from them.

A £45 game these days lasts....7 hours?
A £29 expansion to FFXIV is going to last me a year and a half.

Bargin.

If people complaint so much, they could wait a few months, and price would go down to $19.99-29.99 on standard edition - Amazon does plenty of sales and Black Friday is only 5 months later - to which you could get 2 patches which will be great value for your bottom dollars. If you want in NOW, pay full price like everyone else.
