It shouldn't be a problem to pay for the game is USD if you don't mind waiting for the international shipping.

I won't comment on those photographers.

The international shipping is something like 2 or 3 weeks though. Better do it fast if you want to play anytime soon...

I live in the Netherlands and I ordered the game from the official store here. It took about a week to arrive. I paid $62,45 for the product plus shipping, the price in euros was �40,36.

Considering that stores you buy games from IN Europe will convert dollars pretty much 1:1 into euros to determine their prices, I felt I got quite a good deal there.

Waiting is one thing, but besides the $12 shipping cost, any goods imported into the EU is subject to customs taxes and VAT - so in the end I have no idea what my final cost will be.

First time I've ever heard about this - every online store I used in the EU will only let you pay in Euros.

I think moderation meant that the European shops will buy gmaes from US for X dollars, and sell those same games for X euros.

The bad thing is that it's not just games. Most of computer stuff and advanced electronics follow the same rules. Just to give an example : the Iphone costs 400 euros here. It's worth 400 US$ on the other side, and you need 1.5 or 1.6 dollar to make a euro...

So a number of us just buy abroad, because it's much cheaper.
