Not that any of us here have obsessive/compulsive tendancies or 
*anything* like that...

Hey, FlipC! ;-)

I had looked as well, and found it for anywhere from $24 to $74 online.  
I was *really* surprised. :-/

Well in theory you could pick it up from here as the games aren't region  
coded. In practice I can't find anything official on how patching works,  
and it seems any DLC (which it hasn't got anyway) won't work unless you  
sign in with an EU account, and who knows how multiplayer is handled.

Bit of a joke really.

Yeah; of course, shipping from the UK would cost a fair bit as well, 
probably would make up the difference in cost. :-)

I don't know if it weighs less than 200g then the Royal Mail would do it  
with Delivery Confirmation for just over £8 or $12. Amazon.co.uk seems to  
be even cheaper with their highest delivery rate being £7. Of course as I  
said there's the possible patch problems etc. to contend with.

Yeah, but adding $12 to a price of $11 gets me to $23 - just under the 
lowest online price I found in the US. ;-)

Maybe they're shipping them in and adding a $1 in profit :-P
