Thats handy, another price increase.

Mines showing up as 8.99 Euro's, thats very odd.

At over 20% more expensive to pay in Euros than £'s, that's a big relief.

Why you Euro folks put up with it, I'll never know. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just head off to buy some CDs which are 50% more expensive than they are in the States....

Well if anyone has purchased anything in euro's they need a refund.

A Euro isn't equal to a pound. The bank trasactor is quite capable of converting euros to pounds and deducting the correct amount from your account.


I really should do something about this signature.

Correct - according to Xe.com earlier, if you pay in Euro's it would be the same as spending £7.33, a substantial price difference over £5.99 for the product on offer.

Well spotted, only problem is 8.99 euro's, aint £5.99 as Myopic pointed out.

I wonder why they have priced the same time so diffrently.
Just poor maths or something else behind it, would be nice to know.

By any chance, what it's priced in the US? i'm guessing it's even cheaper there.

Woman what you doing up this early?

also, it was a website error, not really a actual attempt to rip some one off.

$9.99 in the US, so actually the same as euro's.

*edit*
nm, didn't see Myopic's post
which was basicly the same

Was being late for work!

and 9.99 USD is 6.9 Euro... so it seems we're paying more than they do too? or am i missing something, which is probable.

I believe it has something to do with the US prices not including taxes where the EU prices do.

As TrueMetal said - recently coming back from the states, i noticed all there prices were NOT including taxes, were i was used to everything here in england allready included with the Tax. So in short, in the US you pay more then whats written. :P

Ofcourse - that may not be the reason for there price being 'cheaper'
