All the retailers have a RRP as £49.99 for PS3 and £39.99 for 360 version. After that, they can price as they please but with so many independent retailers listing the RRP as the above. They are all usually told what the RRP is, after that they choose (aren't they?).

Assuming an RRP is the same thing as a MSRP yes. (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Pirce.) I've heard Capcom is saying they don't force stores to charge more... but stores are saying the MSRP was 10 higher on the PS3... and stores usually follow MSRPs to the letter.
So in other words, it seems like Capcom may have suggested that stores charge more. The stores went along with it... and now that there is backlash they are saying "We didn't force them to do it!" (We just suggested it, but we won't mention that.)
Atleast that's how it works in the US... and i'd guess europe too.
