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.

Yes we do, and I don't know why. When I purchase stuff from Amazon EU, I don't have to pay VAT, but I need to pay full price when purchasing from GAME...
