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!

On the other hand I live in California and its cheaper to buy a game from Canada on the web and have it shipped here than to buy it here. If you can wait that extra week you can save 5 to 10 dollars sometimes. The exchange rate works both ways for some reason the games seem to be cheaper there.

I got my copy as a gift so to say thanks I took my buddy out to dinner which cost 700 yuan... that's over 80 dollars.

but that's not really how much it cost, and I would happily pay 100 dollars for this one since I will save alot of money buying other games that won't Last longer for a week.

I always pay double to get games that haven't been locallized for China.. and wait for weeks... arghhh.
