| The Fury said: So will this work with PSN? So how much currently is Horizon Frozen Wilds on PSN in Euro stores? In the UK it's £15.99 which at the moment is about 18 Euros. If it's 20 Euros in Europe that means European player can save themselves some money.... right? |
Digital copyrighted content, such as e-books, downloadable music or online games, will not be covered by the new rules for the time being. However, the EU Commission must assess within two years after the entry into force of the regulation whether the ban on geo-blocking should be widened to include such content, as well as audio-visual and transport services, which are also currently excluded.
For the moment no but technically in the future yes. For example at the moment if I want to buy something from IKEA online it will charge me 50€ for a chair while in France the same one is 20€. If I try to change my country to France it will 'geo blocks' me and say I am in Belgium and have to pay 50 € while at the end of the year they have to allow me to buy the 20 € chair. Sure their will be more expensive delivery costs but it can still be 15€ cheaper if I buy it from the Belgian Ikea store. e-commerce is more complicated and in the past they used loopholes for example a new game in Germany was 50€ but in Poland it was 25 €, ofcourse companies were worried that people would all buy the Polish version but they basically used a loophole and be like if you buy the Polish version it will be only playable in Polish and that's something I think EU can't do nothing about.
