A thing occured to me. Dont know if it has been asked already, if it has, cant find it :(, but here we go:

Why does one in Europe have to pay more than one in the US? The game costs as much € as $, but one € is worth more than one $, no?

Right, but as the pre order is sended to Europe, i think they are charging you the euro price and not the dollar, if you wait till the game is aviable in the us, i am sure it will cost 29.99 ass allready sayed. Any way i think thats the inconvenient. ;)

So if a USA'er preorders, he pais 29.99€, and if he waits he pais considerably less?? Nifty :D

Is there a special reason orso that the price is the same in € as in $? Some kind of taxes one has to pay in Europe and not in the US?

The prices are 29.99 in dollars as in euros considering that the game is aviable in the USA and the europe, not the pre order (in this case if you living in USA pre order the game the will ship to you charging the euros and the you will have to make the change from euro to dollars), in this case you will be paying more money.

Aaah
That explains it.
Thanks :)
 
You can pre order it from Gamestop.com for $29.99 Dollars if you live in the U.S. You don't have to pay that inflated Euro amount which would be around $41.30 in U.S. Dollars.

True, but.

If the preorder was made from paradox web, the game should be shiped to, as for the europe date release?, or i will have to wait till the game is aviable in north america?, considering i am living in mexico.

Thanks.

all orders from the paradox webshop should be shipped on the first date available I would think:)
 
According to GameStop, it is still "pre-release", with a release date of 9/11/07. But some people have theirs already?? Wha? :confused:
