Why is there BIG difference in US and EUR price???

[GLACIALHELL]

Do you know what grin my gears:in USA the game cost 10$ Goty - 20$ in Europe it costs 15 euro or GOTY - 22,5 euro.So drawing the line europeans pays - 20,3$ or for GOTY 30,5$ . So why the **** I must pay 10$ more than us citizen for the same game????

Move to Europe, problem solved.

[GLACIALHELL]

I'm in Europe and the problem is european pay soo much more, but why???

[22b3]

Ohhh, your in Europe. Didn't see that. Move to the US! I'm not particulary sure why the price is different. Try getting the game at a different place such as amazon or gog.com

All Steam prices are more for Europeans due to currency exchange. It's unfair, but it doesn't look like Valve is going to do anything about it.

[GLACIALHELL]

Yes i buy games from gog.com

Well there you go, sorry i couldn't provide that info.

Then how can gog.com make the price the same for us and europe, if they can it is not so hard :D

Because GOG.com is a subsidiary of Projekt RED and is based out of Warsaw. Thus, no exchange rate.

That's still a big difference in price to the tune of 25%. The same is true for Australia (higher), while in some countries the price is much lower. It's all based on the exchange rate. There is good news on the horizon for those countries outside of the EU. There are multiple countries who's currencies Steam does not recognize and it goes with the exchange rate of the USD. Sometime this year that will change, so Austrailians will actually pay what they would at the local store.

Your info is wrong I check the US price at steamgamesales.com and I check euro price in my steam this 50% is global sale, so basically the game cost 30% more fro european and that is just wrong!!!

im sorry but your information is incorrect. The US standard version cost = $19.99 and the cost of the GOTY = 39.99. while this does make the euro prices slightly higher($1-2) the cost are really the same. What I suspect you are seeing is that this weekend there is a 50% off sale for all parts of borderlands 2 it is possible that this is a US only sale. I don't know how to check the european prices and only know the US prices as that us where I live. hope this clears things up for you:cwat:

EDIT: The sale makes the US prices standard = $9.99/ GOTY = 19.99
