So it pretty much works out the same. The prices aren't favourable but importing can be just as expensive sometimes. ;o;This is actually why I have suggested that I can't help a UK player or such even though I have an extra accidental US order of the physical CE and that I would instead just try to cancel my order.
The last time I shipped something out of the US I spent $39.93 ish. Practically $40. I'm pretty sure shipping to the UK would cost even more.
Hell my shipping, to myself, for overnight was just about $40.
Pretty much this. Hell I've won FREE items from the US and had to pay a charge of £11 + before just to receive it. I've also had to pay £30 customs for a cosplay wig from Japan before. Most always, if you are receiving something from the US (or even Japan if you decide to get it from there) , a hefty customs charge is going to follow and whack that price up higher. It's probably why the game costs as much as it does in the EU store. It's just an issue with the UK games in general and not just a SE thing, or at least from what I have seen. =/
