50 pounds is different than 50 dollars. i'm not sure what the current exchange rate is but i'm pretty sure 35 pounds is still more than 50 dollars.

Pounds are worth significantly more than dollars, so Americans are actually getting the better deal. For EoTN cheap at only $10, look here:

Well with the sale it's only 44$ without the sale it's about 62$ so if you get it on sale it's quite the deal.

34.99 British pounds = 61.680372 U.S. dollars

They'll be running a sale to get people buying it since it's new, then they'll revert to the old price. Thus, with the expansion excluded it will still be a fine price difference. What's the big deal?

Sooo, the Complete collection won't be released in N. America? If I want to buy one so i can have an extra account, I have to buy it over seas and wait a month for it to get here? That's messed up.

Does this still hold true? I've been searching for a US retailer, but have not found one.

Also just want confirmation:

GW Trilogy = 1 Access key (all campaigns linked under 1 account)

GW Complete Collection = 3 Access keys (option to create 3 separate accounts, 1 for each campaign)

Is this correct?

The Complete Collection isn't going to be released in America, Asia, or Australia, as far as I know.

Also, the Complete Collection is 1 access key (I purchased a second account online about a week ago).

They don't ship outside Canada, so that isn't of much help to those of us south of the border.
