Out of curiosity did you guys in the US pay the base price? i.e. the same price the people in the UK pay? if you guys did the you probably got shafted again! Technically as you guys are outside the EU, you should not be subjected to VAT so should have a 20% discount from the price we pay - if they didn't do the 20% adjustment they probably kept the money for themselves and declared the transaction on their VAT return as an export so not liable to pay the taxman the 20% of your sale.
Amazon is probably the only one I know of that does this properly if you order from Amazon UK.

I rarely use GAME now, unless I absolutely have to. Their packaging has totally gone to shit since they nearly went broke. We used to have GAME here in Australia & their postage was awesome, everything came boxed with bubblewrap. Unfortunately they've been shut down over here.
It is true though that VAT does not get removed from their orders, Zavvi are the same. You are correct that Amazon remove the VAT and they rightfully should too.
