I dont rent house, i have a very bad car and i cant have luxuries but i can live here without problems. But i have luck i am sure of it, if i have money problems i just have to ask family.

I have a petium 4 2.66 with 512 ram so you can imagine i am not the kind of guy who have all what he ask .

LOL! [dies]

in any case, we look at things differently...

our main market is Europe... so, princes where initially considered in Euro.

Right now the dollar and the peso are lower so it is cheaper to buy in the states or in Argentina. we are perceiving less income from those regions.

It is not that it has become more expensive to people from Europe... it just got less expensive for Americans.

Anyway, It's clearly unfair and as I already posted, even Microsoft is changing it.

Exactly, we don't put 5 euros per beer to foreigners, don't we? We keep the price for them too. I am spanish.

That's because: 1.- taxes over alcohol are less in our country, because our culture is different. Our weather allows people to be more time in the street. If any politic increases prices to other countries he should increases salaries too, isn't it. Btw if someone do that it's time for get him out of power or huge revolution and you know it.
2.- Salaries?

These comparisons are out of place in my opinion. This is virtual space, no costs or expenses in the products to arrive to other countries. No ship or plane needed to transport the product. No more taxes to be paid because of it.

Are you telling to me that our power of purchase is the same than in germany or england, relatively? That we can buy as much as they do? That we can travel as much as they do? Mmmmmmm, come on.

As I already written argentinian people is a major concern for me on this. My letter has its place for them. They're paying 3 pesos per dolar, the currency exchange is 1 US $ = 3.146 right now. Even if that's the best currency exchange of all it's too much for them. But what people is paying in euros is crazy, comparing to others. THAT is a fact.

Thats the whole point, its like that because gives us a lot of income, if we had beers at 5 euros they will not drink that much. Its great for them and us.

Same with xymeril, 20 euros is not much for us but is great for them.

With all due respect, it's just mathematics. And they say it's more expensive for europeans to play from the beginning (even with 1 = 1.25 exchange).

Well, from the beginning was 1=1.25, so it was more expensive for europeans... Mmmmm, company is stated in Argentina. So, huge profit because of this, but unfair prices to customers. Another real fact, chilko.

I hope this is not your last word about this issue, because this is a real huge bug.

Best regards.

I've been living in France and I can tell you that rent is cheaper over there (and that's one of the main expenses for any home) and salaries are higher. Blood, savings in Spain are less than in those countries you talk about, and that's because we can't afford the same expenses. Cars are usually a good indicator for economies. Yours is old? (and you don't pay rent!)

Low prices on alcohol shows most of the time less power purchase.

How is it possible that everybody pays more or less the same price, but europeans? Why?

I don't know when we will have euro in Poland. Now i have to exchange zloty on euro.
1 EUR = 3.3930 złotych
1 USD = 2.1758 złotych
