Re: Did anybody else get ripped off by Shrapnel Games?
Holy ****.. damn, sorry. That is far more expensive than any other game up here. It seemed completely whacked, but I guess it makes sense. Games are NORMALLY about $50-60, I really didn't expect a game could cost more than $70!! let alone $80!
When the FAQ said FINAL, I took it for FINAL. That was my error I suppose.
Sorry about the harsh message, but I seriousely thought we had been screwed by something.. But it is legal that it cost $80.00 (probably not worth that much.)
The final bill of sale said $53.95, the sudden appearance of $80.00 on the credit reciept seemed very whacked. Thanks for pointing that out.. But I still think I paid faar too much for the game.

Re: Did anybody else get ripped off by Shrapnel Games?
No problem. I bought an upgrade plane ticket in Toronto once for about $100 (Canadian). When I got my credit card statement I saw that I was only charged about $70 US. I thought I had stuck it to the man until I realized the exchange rate at the time was about 70%

Yeah, the exchange rates are killer. Its cool to be American and have prices on foreign goods way way low.

Re: Did anybody else get ripped off by Shrapnel Games?
The only criminals here are the shippers. UPS, FedX, US Postal, and god only knows who else are ripping us all off. The game, with manual, weighed less than a christmas card that I mailed for 33 cents the other day yet it cost me nearly 18 dollars US to get it shipped GROUND. (thats the cheapest) Go figure.

Re: Did anybody else get ripped off by Shrapnel Games?
$40 US is pretty good for a game here in the States, especially one this full-featured. When you add in the shiping for the continental US, it adds up to the price of a typical game and a bit less than the latest best-seller usually is.
It's interesting the prices are about the same in Canadian $ up north for store-bought products!
