gamesfreak64: thats right, it was, but i been around for a while and in my time there was never >5 bucks difference, so i still dont get the leaving... usually it was 1 or 2 bucks at most.
Klumpen0815: Nope, I've seen differences of $5-$10 even without the ridiculous Russian discount taken into account.
One example from the UK:
https://i.imgur.com/J7gQh0s.png It was quite extreme at the beginning of regional pricing here and would probably still be if the € hadn't dropped so badly.
i saw it: 52 something dollars
now the euros price is : €39.98 for the both
however these games do tend to be on sale on lots of sitesbetween 5 and 10 euros
euros is so low because europe has been scr_wed over when the euro arrived, the wages were halved (a bit more than half) to compensate I guess, i think we had for 1 year (maybe less) adapted prices because of the euro, after a short while, bang, all went back to beiing normal priced, and became less affordable thanks to our government who jumps if brussels tell them to do, and thats quite sad.
Ofcourse governments will never admit to any mistakes,they expect their country men to do it but they wont do it themselves.
While we had our own currency (guilders) we were quite solid, but 2002 ended all that and now we are a bunch of loosers. Netherland and europe down the drain ... and it gets worse... dont believe the rumor that we are getting back on our feet again, thats political nonsense.
