VAT and rounding IIRC

Actually that would still be lower, unlucky Eurozone.

The Sterling conversion is still screwed and equates to $2.50

I think they planned to charge 2.50 for it and then didn't change the European conversions maybe.

dollar is lol


lol

thats an old story that is true with many products and can be explained by taxes (25 % was averaged for EU, according to someone on irc) and shipping costs (which can be left out in our case)

there were some discussions about this in other threads, but I know the whining won't stop

grüsse nach linz

except that a porsche (and this is true for most cars) costs at least 20% less in the US than it does if you buy it in germany, where it is produced

and that includes shipping & taxes

the americans just think they dont need to pay as much for certain goods as other countries. it's probably some kind of superiority complex that is embedded in their society. also explains why they bomb the shit out of half the world and say it's for peace

grüsse ausn waldviertel, oida :)

Translates to: I hate america and I'm just dying to draw arbitrary correlations to suit my own agenda.

If you wanna do that you need to start with niggers and fatties and then work your way up.

Due to fuel regulations and the like, we have to get a watered down version of any car available anywhere else in the world anyway. =/

Fuel regulations??? Aren't your cars usually sucking more gasoline than the standard europeans?

I believe he is saying their gasoline sucks, very low octane numbers.
What they sell as "regular" Germans wouldn't put into their lawn movers :P

why would you move your lawn anyway

x)

when lawn gets old we usually dump it somewhere south of Germany.

Such a fail...

also afaik in some exported cars to the US, inferiour motors MUST be installed, because the gasoline in the US has a too high particle density, i.e its not clean enough for modern german motors.

Premium is a non-point since you'll need to spawn servers to play the content anyway...

No, you don't.

I see plenty of Premium public servers in the browser all throughout the day. A private or user spawned server will quit after I think 15min of inactivity.

I live in Poland, which means that I should pay 48 dollars for the Pro account. I don't have a credit card, though, and asked a friend who currently lives in Ireland, to pay it for me and I would send him the cash back through bank transfer.

There was a problem, though. When that friend was logged onto my account from his home computer in Ireland, the system demanded 48 Euro from him, not dollars (meaning 191 polish zloty, instead of 144 for me).

Even more weird was the fact that when I was logged onto my account from Poland and I entered his credit card details, the system billed him 48 dollars.

So, guys, if you have someone that you can trust outside of the Euro zone, you can give them your credit card details and ask them to log onto your account and make the purchase for you. Apparently, it works.

good to know. I have a question, though. Can you spawn servers everywhere, e.g. in the US?

Just spawned a server in Chicago, IL.

Cool :)

Let's wait and see where it is cheapest, then :P

Pound > Euro > Dollar.

You' re welcome ;)

there are a few more countries, you know ;)

I think Python wrote that he had to pay Australian dollars, not American dollars. There's not much of a difference and a potential bank transfer to/from Australia would be pretty expensive, I guess. Also, I can't find the post, so I'm not 100% sure about it, as I was just skimming through most posts yesterday.

But if I remembered it correctly, that would probably be the cheapest country to get a QL premium/pro membership ;)

question is, can you do it with an australian proxy, or if you know someone well enough in Australia on vacatiion or whatever you can give the credit card details.

anyway, the real question is, is the difference worth the effort :)

Sending my CC details through a proxy? I don't think so

coward

The difference between Euro and dollars is almost 25%. That might be worth an effort by some people. But the difference between the Australian dollar and the American dollar is very small.

anyone in the uk got premium or pro yet? it's not working for me and I don't know if it's not available at all or if they don't accept Visa Debit.

i got pro on my visa debit last night. worked fine. :o
