Looks like something went wrong with the Nisa Euro shop debut. But I dont' understand what...
http://store.nisaeurope.com/blogs/news/15101367-nisa-europe-online-store-press-release

In the meantime, the European PS blog post on Freedom Wars has collected 188 comments, of not exactly congratulating nature.

The problem as am sure someone from Europe can explain it better is that the EU store is using 1 to 1 pricing and using british pound so 40$ vita games are 40£(68.6$). The shipping pricing is also questionable(5£ inside UK and 10-15£ for international), so it becomes cheaper to just import from US. People have been complaing on Twitter and their facebook page and the press release doesn't seem to address anything really.

An example : Dangan Ronpa 2 LE is selling for 60£ + shipping comes to 75£ which in turn translates to $128...

Blame your VAT and other luxury taxes.

True, VAT in EU is usually 20% and above (25% for me). But the shipping rates are just greedy, given that most online shops ship for free inside UK, and charge a few pounds for the rest of EU. This shipping is even worse than Amazon, and I thought nobody can be greedier than Amazon.

Also, NISA will not ship outside the US anymore, since we have our store, so there is no way to get those games cheaper.
