What did we do in Europe, or what good things have been done in the US, that we deserve such a large amount of price difference in games?? Lost Odyssey for example, in US will cost you 59.99 dollar, in Europe 61.99 Euro. That is a price difference of more than 35 dollars. Why do I as an European have to pay this much more money. As a gamer I want a fair price for games, I do not really care about currency and stuff, I want to pay the same price like everyone else in the world! I even want to pay like, ten bucks more, but 35 dollars is pushing it. So I hope (which is in fain) that gamepublishers willl drop prices in Europe, or level the prices up in the US, so we all pay the same price for our games. That will be 94 dollars a game! Fair price, dont think so, so lets drop those price, and make buying a game fair again for everyone!!!

Hate to break it to you, but $17.5 does not equal 1 Euro.

that is not true, maybe you do not yet realize what your current dollar is worth, but these are the facts.

Lost Odyssey: 61 Euro, exchange rate is 1.55 with the dollar so that will be 95 Dollars. So we in Europe really pay more than 35 dollars extra for the same game. Gaming companies have to sell for every 2 products in Europe, 3 copies in the US, that why most of the games are still US minded, because they have to sell loads of them to break even. Hence all the mergers that are taking place!
