Really? They dont use a conversion factor for US to Euro? Sorry Europeans, sounds like the American dollar is still worth something after all!

Its true for all their sites (allinternal, asstraffic etc etc).
Worst of all is that the management dont care about it.
The managements answer to the complains from Europeans has been:
"What would be a good price for you to not feel ripped off? EUR 0,00?"
..and a little more serious answer, but just as much bullshit:
"Many companies set the pricing of their products based on the market they are sold in. For example a 3-series BMW will cost $45,000 USD in the US where as the same exact 3-series BMW will cost $45,000 EUR in Europe (and maybe $60,000 USD in Brazil)."
...so i guess it cost 5$ in Bangladeshi Taki?

REPLY TO #2 - Flimo :
Is this company based in the US? In the US it is illegal to charge different people different prices. It is true that a product will cost more in a Burger King in California than it would in a small town here in Ohio, but that is because the cost of business is more there. They can not charge one guy $1 for a burger, than $3 for the next guy for the same burger just because he is from out of town.
That is exactly what this company is doing to those Europeans. They are receiving the 1.54 conversion factor, when in fact you the customer should be. They are being ass holes in their replies as well. They are purposely setting those prices because the credit card processors would automatically apply the most recent conversion factor to the currencies.
They simply can not compare a tangible product to data. The car must be transported and stored and has reseller upmarking. This is not the case for data. It makes no difference to them where they data does, and storage is irrelevant here. They have to store the data whether or not if ever gets downloaded.
i wonder if the same applied if you when to Japen, is it 30 Yen, or how about some African country where their dollar has less value than an US dollar? Makes you wonder how someone so stupid can run a business!
