Forums - Sales - LBP- huge price difference UK- G

Phobos on 15 January 2009

In Germany you have to pay about 65 Euro, whereas you have to pay in the UK for the same game not even 20 Pound. Does anybody why. I feel a bit like a cash cow.

1 Euro = 0,9 Pound

All the games are way cheaper. Pound dropped and they seems to have low prices overall. And all games from UK are PAL, so they work on any PAL systems (That Europe, Australia). I bought 2 games already and am gonna until pound rises.

@Son1x:

I mean the Xbox360 system, not the games, because of the connection for power supply.

Since rubbing salt into other people wounds is a bit of my hobby you can buy LBP for 30 euro in Poland :)

You know 18 pounds is like 23€ right?

Anyway, yes UK console should work in Germany. You would need the adapter for power cable though. They have the same voltage as well, just different plug in.
