I just ordered Final Fantasy XI from play who have got it at Ł14.99 'delivered'. I thought this would just be to the UK, but when I created user profile etc I selected it had a country selector so I of course chose Denmark.

When I got to the checkout screen I expected it to bump up the price a few more quid á la Amazon but it doesn't. So I got FFXI for Ł14.99!

This surely means they make less money on shipping Europe as registered post is almost double that of what it is in the UK? Well, I ain't complainin'.

/will never use any other site again for buying games

Surprised you didn't know that mate - the in-laws live in France, and that's all they use for DVDs etc. Cheap as chips, as they say!

nope. I always thought as there'd be a catch when you got to the checkout part of the deal

A friend in Iceland buys off them.

They make their money by not having to pay vat (iirc), can anyone confirm?
