Cheaper to buy in the US than the UK.

It's exactly the same before tax: £59.30 GBP incl VAT ~= £49.42 GBP excl VAT ~= $60.29 USD

Presumably due to higher taxes on sold goods in the UK?

Also just that US sales prices are pre-tax. In states with sales tax you will be paying more.

True, it's called Treasure Island because of all the stolen treasure it holds.. but jokes aside (shouldn't be a joke) i'm going to have a friend pick up one for me in UK and send it over to ZA where pricing is so so much worse.

Why do people in text attempt to joke, then pull back on the joke, making it not a joke and simply wasting time with useless banter?
