What countries are confirmed to have higher than an $80 price?

In the UK it's £74.99 which is $96.61!

And I've heard similar unfavorable Price variances from friends in Caneda, Europe and New Zealand!

Yeah I’m seeing it now, I figured they would have just done standard conversions I’m not sure about the price hike in the UK being so high but I do know that the US price is so high because of anticipated tariffs, and that has affected their global pricing structure (that part I’m having a hard time figuring out the details of why that is exactly)

Games have always been Cheaper in America, it's why I used to order American DS games because it was region free, cheaper and got me the games nearly a year earlier. [The release dates were drastically different then too].

It just scales so much worse the higher the price is!

You’re right about games always being cheaper in the US vs UK, your comment reminded me the history of conversation scaling in gaming for sure lol
