So hats off to CCP allowing Amazon.com to sell plex at 25% off...
However, after being blocked from buying this outside the US by the site and talking to an Amazon dude -- they advise they can't allow purchase outside the US due to contract obligations?
HUH?
CCP, why did you limit this discounted PLEX purchase to US only customers? What giveth?
Grrrrrrrrr......must, buy, plex.... Would you like to know more? |

Can't find it on Amazon.de, is it called something other than PLEX? URL/link appreciated... Would you like to know more? |

Gé¼77 is $106
You can buy 2 plex from any game time reseller at any time for $35
3x35=$105.
So yeah Gé¼77 isn't really a discount
Amazon UK is still only selling 60 day timecards for -ú34.99 and I wont even go into how much of a rip off that is. (-ú35=$56) |

Right. The Amazon.com deal is pretty sweet and constitutes a real 25% discount on normal PLEX prices. What sucks is it appears its only available to people with a US credit card and US mailing address, despite no software actually being downloaded or distributed -- they just deposit PLEX in your EvE account...
I would really like CCP's response on this, why only US based game players are able to take advantage of this PLEX sale (especially when as mentioned Amazon subsidiaries existing in almost every country....but there's no PLEX there...) Would you like to know more? |

Sadly that is regular price, as Alex mentioned above. It appears only the Amazon.com US site is offering a 25% discount.
The question for CCP is why are US folks the only ones able to access this substantial PLEX discount... Would you like to know more? |

I second that question. It's a "strange" move to make a discount only available in a particular country.

i think you need to read the constitution better...
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed"
nowhere it says "federal"
the founding fathers actualy ment the militia to protect the people from the "federal goverment" (and it becoming tiranical..wich is quickly becomming one imo)

Previous topic was closed by ISD for rumor mongering. Really.. Even though the sale was already ongoing.. Now we euro's can watch the plex market crash and not reap the benefits. |

The only Federal Government in these parts is Gallente. And while I can't speak for all the Gallente, I can say that I sure love my guns. And my Amarrian guns. and my Minmatar guns. But not Caldari guns.
Screw them.

Maybe it's not real ..... Tried it... Then logged in an hour or so later... PLEX present, it's a real offer. Other users mentioned they had difficulty with it going to the wrong account and had to petition it. Something about back-end code with Power-of-Two accounts. |

Chorusing the above.
Granted tax regimes differ, but the disparity between EU (specifically UK) pricing on Subs, and more glaringly it seems, PLEX, is a bit of a downer.
I can pay Markee Dragon in USD anytime, why is CCP/Amazon forcing us out of this deal? |

And add tough S**t to us poor bastards who don't have a local Amazon at all.
Disappointing and wildly unfair to all the Eve players outside the U.S. , but typical of the geo-blocking bulls**t that goes on these days.
Would have been nice if they had said "U.S. Only" before you link your account. |

$76 are around Gé¼54, so that is one heck of a discount, so CCP is ripping off the euro customers again.
So, do you need to be in the US to order? Actually you only need a shipping address in the US and need to come in through an american IP.
Whether you trust an unknown proxy with your Amazon credentials is a different matter.
Caution: changing the shipping address to a Starbuck's on Wall Street, changing my password, using a proxy, ordering and reverting the password not using the proxy worked but rings alarm bells with Amazon and they will cancel the transaction because they assume it's fraud. Err... not that I actually tried that or so, naaaah...
I actually wanted to buy some PLEX using a Somer referral, but then I read that aparently T20 joined Somer. |

Restricting it to the Amazon US market only is discrimination against the rest of the world playing population plain and simple. I have a US credit card but a UK address and was also refused as living outside the UK.
I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression. |

I have to agree this seems reallly unfair.
But I really do like the deal. Big discount to buying them directly from CCP. One has to wonder why in the world they would undercut thier own website :) ... really, I mean really...
(so I just bought 3 plex for $40 US after paying the TX sales tax) ....
That's a good deal right?
Maybe I should turn it into isk and go gamble it away now?

This is pretty lame from CCP, are they expecting their only future customers to be from the US? Europe and UK stay with rip-off prices but US gets the same in game item for half the price. I see someone posted about VAT, I'm pretty sure last time I check the VAT that it wasn't @ 100%. |

You don't need an american IP, so going through a proxy service is unnecessary. Amazon only cares about the address.
If your purchase got cancelled it's actually on the end of your CC, because ordering something with a shipping address in a different country is an easy fraud warning. You'd need to contact your CC provider and tell them you plan to order things in the USA (like to be sent to a friend). Of course, this might be a drawback for actual fraud. |

CCP stiffing everyone bar the US players is nothing new.
Over the years they've changed UK players from paying in pounds sterling to euros and back to pounds sterling again - all because they could make more money by doing this. It wasn't that they were losing money by trading in pounds sterling, they could just make more money by forcing us to pay in a foreign currency - despite having UK offices which technically means they broke the law.
The "shop" of course is based in the US and has totally delusional "shipping charges" outside continental USA/North America.
Don't let it bother you as its nothing new and nor will it change. Its just CCP sticking it to you because they can. |
