Same goes to the euro and pound price. How could they add VAT into the price when they are actually just importing goods. Members from UK will get slapped another 50-100 import fee on top of an item that they have already paid VAT and import duties as that is what local price includes.

Edit eh I missed one thing. It will be available from retailers as well. Price from retailers I understand but not their price for international order from their own website

Wait so if you buy from the website and can it shipped to you it's the US price?

Other prices are for localized retailers? Like EBgames Australia for example?

That makes it sound a hell of a lot less limited

i think if some friend in the USA helps us, it would be much cheaper! I looked for shippment by DHL to US would be cost 90 euro for up to 31 KG or 62 Pounds.

If you pay as US Citizen 280 US Dollars (199 Euro) incl. shippment.

if we send with a amount of 30 KG 3 or 4 Titanfall CEs to Europe!

We would pay 230 - 240 Euro per CE + 20 Euro shippment inside of Europe!

The Game you can use because its Region free!

I wasn't really interested in the game due to being multiplayer only. After seeing the $400 local price tag, I want the game even less now...

[blingaling]

Yep, game itself is not really my thing. But that statue... I'm a sucker for them!

Up at Amazon and GameStop now...

I tried to purchase from the website it was just showing $100 price and "Domestic Shipping" of $0. I assume they don't know the shipping price yet and it will be added at later date. However from the fine print they said that "For international customers, local price will be charged" or something like that. I will assume they will change the price on order. I'm quite confused really.

EBGames AU announced that they will be selling it and it will be STRICTLY LIMITED and will be an online only order next Wednesday.

But the price will seriously pissing me off if titanfall store converts the order to AUD for last payment.

Maybe Treehouse Ryan can give more details? It seems like distribution is handled by Treehouse

That seems like an asinine and entirely roundabout way to handle it

[Madigan]

I don't get it, why not limit the pre order to US buyers and call it a day?

They can't sell it in us dollars (cheaper) when you have an official regional price. There's no point for EBGames to sell this in AUS when you can get it cheaper on the official store.

That's my guess.

$400 AUD, Dafuq? nty.

GAME has got this as an exclusive in the UK for GBP249.99.

A lot of money, but pre-ordered anyway. Will decide later whether I can justify the cost or not...
