It's really not. The Amazon price for the Home Premium upgrade in the US is $119, or £75. The UK price is £64.99.

The US price for the full version is $199, which is £125. The UK price is £64.68.

Though, as I've pointed out before, it's rather meaningless to compare prices in this fashion.



So if the promotional price was higher, that would make it OK?

Probably. If it was Spaceboy would be rushing out to buy it, rather than pirating it like he currently does.

No, if the retail price was lower then would seem more reasonable.

Anyway, show me where I can buy it for £64.68 please. Because it doesn't seem to be available for that price.

Yes and notice the RRP is £149, which is more than the US price.

I typed "Windows 7" into Amazon.

It's easy when you know how. :rolleyes:

You have a very strange way of looking at the world.

You should be concerned with how much something costs you. Not how much it costs someone else, how much it used to cost, or how much it should cost.

But you aren't paying the retail price, so why would you care what it said? If it was £1149, it still wouldn't make any difference, along as you were only paying c£64. What's the big deal with what the RRP is?

It's the principle of the thing and the fact people posted contrary info.

And? RRP means nothing when its openly available to purchase at a cheaper price.

I really love the way you start talking about principles when you obviously have none, since you pirate all the software you can get your hands on. It's a bit rich, don't you think?
