With the pre-orders? That's just the pre-authorisation charge, they only take the money from your account up to 14 days before release: http://store.nisaeurope.com/pages/pre-order-faq
Where did you get the price for PQ from?

What the actual... I was at first happy about getting a EU store but these prices, closing off the US store and the barely existing inventory in the EU store, what's the hell? Where are the posters and others merchandise, how are people supposed to get that now? If they treat the EU like this they might aswell not bother at all, sorry I'm bitter...
Mobile version of the page says 69 pounds but the desktop version lists no price.

You should read further then the first post. 80% increase in pricing is never good news.
You have every right to be. I know i am, i have been a loyal customer ever since the start of the PS3 and i just feel shafted now.

Wow these prices NISA I know your only starting the store off but seriously $1=£1 is a messed up conversion rate and then there's the additional postage charge =/

Honestly it is... I remember sending a friend a graphics card from Germany to Spain and I paid about 4€ for shipping and it wasn't a light package at all.
Well I admit I didn't order too much from them as, as much as I liked these Limited Editions I never felt like buying them which I now regret but I ordered a few posters and such and I was dead-set on buying a giclee of them when I one day have my own house but I what's even worse, I have friends who order regularly from them and they will be devastated about all this.
NISA is usually pretty good about customer interaction aren't they? Is there anyway we can complain civilized?

Wow I didn't even know about free EU shipping, that makes it even more ridiculous. I really hope something clears up about this all in the coming days.
Okay then, I'm out.
The Persona Q LE is really nice, but I'm not paying more than 100€ for that.kuroneko0509

Even 100 would be double of what the Americans are paying for it.

Christ almighty. I'm a rabbid Persona fan that'll eat just about anything up but SEVENTY FIVE pounds for the game? Really difficult to justify, and it'll be even more expensive outside of the UK!
.
My thought was - right NSA is selling European online data. But why is this in gaming?
Wow, what a way to NOT get people to buy these items. Let's take the Fairy Fencer F LE for example. Can't remember exact cost for shipping from US to Australia, but allowing USD $35 makes it a total USD $110 which comes to AUD $116. Now the cost from the European store is AUD $162.50. That is a substantial jump in pricing and will most likely stop me from purchasing any more LE's from NISA.

Prices are pretty steep but hell I want the Danganronpa and PersonaQ ones. Pre-ordered Danganronpa 2 just now and will do the same for PQ on the 14th.
15 pounds for shipping to mainland Europe (UK -> NL in my case) is pretty ridiculous though. That's some serious price-gouging.

50£/62.3 + 15£/19 for Danganronpa 2 LE + shipment to Italy = 81... seriously? No way, I'm sticking to the Standard Ed. via Amazon.
I thought NISA was opening an European Online Store, not an UK Online Store. Also those prices are... I mean, I have heard that taking it up the ass can feel good, but I don't think going in raw with no lube is the right way to do it.
Questionable jokes asides, I hope they change those prices, because as they are, even if I'm glad they opened an European store I can't justify buying there.

I don't remember exactly how it went, but it was a sexual joke of some kind during the Academy Awards. Everyone in that shot was acting.

I am just gonna assume this was done by an American intern who has no idea how currencies works.
They announced it officially, so no its not. The store is useable already as well, so that excuse doesnt really work anymore.

I've ordered all my limited edition collector Disgaea sets from NISA with no problems, and with the exchange rate at the time the most expensive including postage was £80.
The pricing is ridiculous I hope its just a place holder.

Fun fact:
If this store sold their anime titles and used this pricing scheme then the Cardcaptor Sakura BD set would cost, at the minimum, £200.
Two. Hundred. Pounds.

£75 for Fairy Fencer F LE including shipping? Not sure if serious. Pretty certain it cost me less to import LEs from the American store. If this is genuinely how things're going to be priced I'll stick to buying standard versions off Amazon or something.
As a Aussie who has bought games from the NISA store for years now. I hate to say it but they've lost a customer.
I rarely buy PAL stuff at all and this move means that my only choice of buying the US LEs from them is via ebay at stupidly inflated prices. It doesn't help that their Euro prices are also complete BS.

So for example the disgaea 4 LE is 170% more expensive plus insane shipping price. I guess the only people will benefict from this are the ebay thiefs, not the fans or NISA.

dat region locking. oh well, i'm thrilled to ignore their online stores!
I think they overestimated people's willingness to pay premium prices for niche, special edition products.
The shipping might make sense if it's a courier service like UPS/DHL, but there's no need for that. Regular post is fast enough, and you can have it registered and insured at much less than that.
