This regional pricing structure that some sites are now using is definately unfair.
Without checking the exchange rates I guess $18 should be about 12Euro.
Yes, its ridiculous pricing especially during the current economic downturn.

It's simple. If a site tries to rip you off, don't subscribe. I will not subscribe to a site that has regional discrimination. Boycotting this sort of thing is the only thing that will make them rethink. I hate fake breasts and tattos anyway so there's no way I would join this site, but everyone has their own taste. There are plenty of sites I would like to join but wont because of regional discrimination. If someone sticks a middle finger up to me I tell them to f**k off. That's how I feel about regional discrimination.

Agree! Bad business practice! I was just about to join but as they want to charge me USD31 instead of the USD18 in US I will not join.

Yeah. I actuallu joined anyway but using the trial option(the 2 day trial is now full).
They overcharged me on the trial too (5USD) but on such a small amount it doesn't matter.
Do you know what the standard recurring rate they offered me if I did not cancel? 75USD Of course I cancelled and stated price as the issue of course. When cancelling I was offered a slightly better deal but still 20% more expensive than the Standard price for American customers.
I wonder if Epoch and those guys juts update their currency tables once a year and haven't realized that USD is very strong at the moment.
Where other industries are offering competitive rates outside US due to the strong dollar (otherwise they would sell nothing) the online porn industry has decided to piss off all foreign customers?

i am not sure what they give for an extra discount when you cancel. i recognized in general that this differs a lot at the same site(arround 70%), which doesn`t make it easier to decide wether you should stay or w8 and join later once again for a better offer.
