Is there some legal reason for this or what? Am I just going to have to go in to Game or Gamestop and get ripped off?

You're not really saving much.It cost £300 in the UK which is €380 approx.In shops in ireland it cost €400 euro with selected games e.g GT5 prologue.Add in delivery costs and you'll be paying just as much as if you got it here.If you want to save real money get it from the US.

Just got it as Zavvi/Virgin for €400 + game, the other bundle was €455 with extra controller + blu-ray.
Dixons are selling the GTAIV bundle, if I heard the Indian right, for €499 as apparently headoffice felt like throwing in some mandatory extras.
The GTAIV bundle in Game is €439.99.
