Why do mainland Europeans have to pay $65 more (CE) than people in the US?
Ofc I know there's VAT and shipping, but $65...that sounds a little fishy to me.
Don't get me wrong, I'll buy the game as I'm excited to play it. I just wonder what the official reason is.
That's the reason I made this thread. Am I missing something here?
For those who want to know the math:
Euro closed at 1.4383 yesterday.
149.99 * 1.4383 = 215.73
Which means a $65.74 difference.
To add, the last 5 years the average price of the euro has been pretty consistent between 1.3 and 1.5.
So it's not like Bioware saw a sudden drop or rise that would justify making the dollar and euro prices the same.
ps. I've seen similar questions about the British Pound, which would add to the discussion if you ask me.
