RE4 Rip-Off!!!!!

Hmm, at least for Europe, i can't understand the complains. In Germany RE4 - WII has a UVP of 40 €. So lets calculate with that.

First you have to calculate of the taxes (19% in Germany): 33,61 €.

Next step, calculate out the bigger margin for stores (They need to be bigger here than in the US). I would say, at least 3€: 30 €.

Now you have to subtract the import taxes (The game are most likely produced in china). They are higher for the EU that in US, i think i read somewhere 3$) means 2.20 €: 28 €

So, you have to calculate that you need for Germany (because thats the way in Germany somehow) a German booklet and the game needs to be translated. Cost for this you must divide by numbers of sells. Where will we end? I say 3 € is a "got to go": 25 €

The Americans have also another "advantage". The international trade is done in $. If you sell something in another currency, you have to calculate in the exchange rate change to your disadvantage. Know the company just can change the price every day, so most likely they pay something to an insurance that cover things like that. I would say 1 € per game: 24 €.

So know lets calculate the $$ out of it: 32.7 $. So that means a price difference of 2.7$. Not so much anymore.
