    You will never, in your life, get the XE.com exchange rate so please don't qoute that exchange rate as the actual rate you'd pay.

    Yeah, but it is usally not that much of a difference. I ordered something for £140 yesterday and the xe exchange rate was €157.55 and I was actually charged €160.25 on my CC.

    At the end of the day, if I can buy Farcry 2 for the 360 or PS3 for 26 euros delivered and its €10 euros cheaper then any other online store well I don't really care about the exchange rate as its obvious that they are building shipping into their pricing. So just pick and choose what you buy from them and you'll be all right.

    Seems they've improved a bit again

    Games that were £39.99 used to convert to Around 55 euro
    Now they are E51.99

    Thats good to know, had been avoiding them for a while. I'd say they were losing a large amount of business to other companies with more transparent pricing and postage systems.

    If they let us buy in sterling like sendit.com etc it would be a lot better.
