UK price includes VAT (basically a national rate Sales Tax, with minimums set by the EU). EPs went up to £34.99 (+£5) and GPs went up to £17.99 (+£3) earlier this year. SPs stayed the same. Due to exchange rate dropping/conversion instability.
I pre-ordered C&D on CD Keys for £22.99 though, so it pays to shop around.
I pre ordered on cd keys too.. but mine cost £25.99 because I did it weeks ago! Thought it might go back up, not down!
I thought I had ordered weeks ago for that price, but I obviously didn't finish the transaction because I had no email/PayPal record. It was cheaper when I went back to "redo" it.
I think how their site works is that they order in bulk at the last minute (key arrived a few hours before release for CL), so the more orders they get, the cheaper they can negotiate. It might go down again before release.
Seems like a load of BS to me. It's not as though there's some law that's pricing an EP at $40 and a GP at $20, for example. The fact that new games are usually sold for $60 is an arbitrary amount that somebody invented. It's possible that due to some kind of hidden fees, the translated profit is equal for them... but if it results in an overall unequal cost for the customer, I'd consider that a problem.
It's not exactly a stretch to bet that it wasn't a charitable mindset setting those prices...
I don't know if I'm truly being fair. I just get cynical fast when it comes to matters of money.

Thanks for the tip - just got mine for £23.99 from CD Keys (so about $30) Woohoo

Does anyone know if we for sure get cats and dogs at midnight Friday from cd keys?

Someone was mentioned that target and Walmart actually have disc. Not just a disk box with a CD code. I think it might have been @SimplyJen that was discussing this somewhere. She may also know when the cd keys are available

I've heard of people getting their codes a few days before release with plenty of time to get it set to download before release. I haven't had mine yet, but literally only ordered it this morning.

Further reading tells me that CDKeys release codes the day before a release so should be all set to go as soon as the game is released worldwide.

Love your siggy . Ru pack
It was one of the cheapest I found especially for a disk copy of the ep.
