Hmm 39 Euros = ~£35

but Amazon = £24.99 = £10 cheaper

I cannot see how the fishing boat is worth £10...  :-\

No, but the updates...

Well, the reason why sites such as Amazon, Play, etc is able to sell SSE for cheaper because they have less overhead costs compared to high street shops, and don't have to pay VAT on the goods - many games and DVDs etc come from their Channel Islands base on Jersery/Gurnsey. A bit sneaky, eh?  ;)

Well I just looked at Amazon.com and there's no price listed..

so maybe they took their 'wild guess' off of it now. Unlike the April release date they still list..   ::)

Weird orginisation..  they can't even post uniform information on their on websites..  hehe

Well, I don't take any guarantees from them, I have been dissapointed by them before.  ;D

Not that I'd buy the game there anyway.

I have just pre-ordered the boxed version of SSE via Vstep, even though I knew it's cheaper on Amazon.

Then there's the fishing vessel and 6 bonus missions which is not available anywhere else (Vstep will probably put them on the Shipyard at a later date, at an extra cost)

I want to show my support for Vstep by spending my money directly to them.  :thumbs:

Donation Edition (Download) preordered :)

Amazon rarely has the same items for the same price on their various sites. When I lived in Germany it was almost always cheaper to buy movies and games from .co.uk than .de, even though german Amazon offered free shipping.

You might have to wait 2 or 3 years for that price to drop.  :( That's how long it took SS2008 to drop from £30 when it was first released to around £10 now. It's not worth waiting that long, IMHO.

Why not ask for SSE as a birthday or christmas present?  :thumbs:

I assume the top one is download, then there is another small box underneath saying "Boxed" :)
