I meant before any VAT is applied (that's what USA prices are, right?).

70 € = $100

$100 / 1.2 (to eliminate 20% VAT) = $83

I didn't notice that they were talking about British pounds, not Euros. It's the same deal in England?

So they meant 70 pounds? Wow...

Then the calculation is:

70 £ = $117

$117 / 1.15 (VAT is 15% in UK) = $102

Freakin' expensive. I believe  gamers would riot with prices like that :P
