Fourth!
No, wait...Second!
Fir...Um...ah, hell.
Anyway, what I wanted to actually say is that I find it ironic that Wrath is being given away free by Gamestop when you get the Battlechest, but all Blizzard has done is lower the price in Europe to something that's still outrageous by US standards. That being said, does anyone know why it's (the game as well as everything else including subscriptions) so much more expensive in Europe than here? Does it have to do with international tariffs, licensing, etc.? I mean, you'd think that Blizz would be able to work with this considering how long they've been doing this, how much they're worth, etc.
(And it is a "first" post, but see how freaking stupid that is? Yes, YOU, the "first" posters out there - you know who you are!"

Companies charge us more because they worked out they could get away with charging us more. That's really all it boils down to.

Many companies simply replace the dollar sign with the Euro/Pound sign, and think that's it. The fact that their currency is higher-valued than our's either doesn't occur to them, or they don't care because they know they will pay.

I was kinda hoping the new items were NOT from the TCG. Why do all the coolest toys go to the TCG? WHY!?
