29.99 EUR = 35.2501 USD
Get over it! It is like $5.36, think of it as an international good will tax.
Hell when I was in Vancouver BC in September, everything I put on my Visa and my Visa check card had an international service fee attached to it. Like a 3x Latte at Vancouver International cost $3.79 CND, which is like $3.25 USD, but they slap a $.23 "Fee" on it. I still love Vancouver, and cannot wait to go back.
Hey Euro-dudes, DON'T D/L BF2:SF, APPARANTLY EA IS WORKING WITH POST WWII NAZI'S HIDING IN ARGENTINA, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THERE STOLEN GOLD BACK! EA is collaborating with these Germans because after the release of Battlefield : Secret Weapons Of WWII, a half reanimated-zombiesque Herman Goering showed up at EA HQ (in Vancouver BC- Been there) and demanded that EA stop the copyright infrigement. He stated that even though Nazi Germany had been defeated, that Foke Wulf, Junkers, and The Meshersmitt companies all expected to share in the wealth that EA was making from the protrayal of the planes of the Luftwaffe!

You cant even get a pack of ciggarettes (fags for you brits) in jersey for the amount of difference they charged you.

I have to pay like $6 a day for my cancer!

OK, here's EA's reply:
" Greetings
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts Customer Support. You were charged in Euros because of the billing location you chose when placing the order. I have issued you a refund of 4.56 EUR to make up the diference as 25.43 EUR = 29.99 USD. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reply to this email. Our Quality Service Representatives are available Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 5:00pm PST. "

So, I guess we should all move out to Russia, buy the game there and then head back, since 29.99RUB is literally nothing...

I've seen it for 25 euro in a shop here in the Netherlands, that is 29,44$. In other words don't go with EA's downloader because you're getting ripped off.

Re: EA trying to cheat us Europeans blind!

For those of you living in the EURO-countries, beware! EA tries to charge you 29.99 euros, which is significantly more than 29.99$! This is clearly indicated only _after_ you have agreed to pay the expansion, in the email they send you.

That's the biggest load of bullshicabob I have read today.
Take a look at this page!

Talk about a bunch of super jackasses. It's 5 bucks, you idiots. This thread has been going for 2 days. I've already got more entertainment value from this the stupid money you guys are whining about.

I usually stick to English since I don't speak or read French (or whatever, so naturally I've never been to the French site and have never ever seen that 29.99eur anywhere):

https://account.ea.com/commerce/product-info.jsp?ipath=15&locale=en_US&sls=2&site=eaco&prodid=BF2-MAP&skin=bf2map&app=commerce

It clearly says 29.99$ and no talk about 1to1 conversion rates. Accessed through ea.com.

Luckily I got my money back.

As to Mykonicon, why are you whining about us whining? Why are you flaming this thread with your useless posts? You can also send me 5$ through paypal if 5$ is nothing to you. You can do it multiple times, in fact.
