Gamers on the continent have faced paying up to 42 per cent more for their copies of Grand Theft Auto V than those buying it in the UK.
That’s according to Idealo (http://blog.idealo.co.uk/gta-v-uk-gamers-paying-30-less-for-pre-orders-than-european-counterparts-3065.html), which found that pre-order prices for the game across Europe suggest UK gamers have actually got it pretty good.
Going by the £34.99 price offered on both Xbox 360 and PS3 by Amazon, the site found that consumers in Austria, for instance, faced a 42 per cent higher price on PS3 and 34 per cent on 360. That translates to £49.57 and £46.98 respectively.
Looking just at the PS3 version, German prices are 37 per cent higher, Italian 29 per cent, Polish 25 per cent and French 17 per cent.
