    Default rtw price difference

    Hi all...just a note to let people know, I bought RTW today in the UK. I first went into Game where it was priced at £34.99, next door in HMV it was £29.99 less another 10% off, so in total I was charged £26.99...not bad eh?

    I'm not sure if this post breaks the forum rules, but I thought it would be nice for the younger members without much income to be able to afford the game.

    Thnx
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    If you order online its usually cheaper too. It always pays to look around a few shops before purchasing something as sometimes a different shop will have it cheaper or a better deal on it.

    I've ordered it from Amazon.co.uk. It costs me something like 38 €, but I don't get the free delivery service so it will be a grand total of 45 € too.
    If I ordered it from a french website : 47€, and even more from a shop...

    POLAND

    99 PLN, that means rougly: €22, or 15 pounds.

    It is cheaper here because of high piracy level. If they wanted to charge an European/US price, that would have to be 200 PLN and they would sell 500 copies total. You see what I mean. 99 PLN is quite afordable here.

    Yet again the game is not out yet :/
    no blood no foul

    39 euro's here in Holland (well, 41, since it's 2 extra for shipping, but it was shipped in 1 day after the release). Which is the cheapest I've seen here.

    I payed £34.99 for it more through lazyness and the fact I wanted it there and then to play over the weekend. I would normally have used www.play.com like a couple of people have mentioned but in this case i didn't want to wait or bother to shop around so i got what i deserved.
