Im kind of confused why we must pay more for the same version? €35 ($45) Is quite alot of money and im not sure I can afford an extra €35 and I really want this collectors edition.

Get out of your mom's basement and get a job for a few hours.... there you have the 35€ needed.

Even though i believe companies shouldn't do just $ to €, if you gotta worry about 35€ you should get a job/better job/only play with plex'

I can afford the extra 35 but I think its just a **** move, its probably tax related though... EU governments are greedy as ****.


I do wonder what I would do with the dust stuff since it is an EVE pack and I dont play Dust nor will I ever play dust...

Well if you convert €150 into £ you get £126, So something like that.

But if you convert €115 (same price as $150) then you get £96 which is much more acceptable I think.

'Cause CCP said so.

Actually, you all pay the same. 150.

Just because YOU believe applying currency conversion makes sense,
doesn't mean they believe that too.

You live where you live and you pay the same amount. If you suddenly
moved to the US and lived and worked there, you would still pay the same amount.

Wow, i can build at least two logicical buildings with this ... it's silly. xD

Anyway ... golden pod ... i'm sold !

Golden Pod ... damn. That's ... huge crap ... but ... PERFECT ! :D

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I approve of this logic. I will send CCP 150 SEK and receive my CE forthwith. Big smile

Isn't it like that US-citizens pay extra tax that you do not see at first on the given price?
