This Afthernoon I wanted to buy Full Spectrum Warrior, but when i saw stardock now even handels USD=GBD i quickly pressed the close button on my browser.
Current situation:
The shop prices are shown in United States Dollars, but when i move to the Cart the prices change to GBP (why is this?) , and my final bill from paypall in Euro's. (ofcourse)
this example is taken from Full Spectrum Warrior - Then Hammers:
impulse store 9.99 USD
prices in cart 9.99 BPD (USD=GBP even worse then USD=EUR)!!!
Bill from paypal 11.30020 EUR
Total paid in USD 14.17611 USD
while it should be this (taken the bug with the British pounds in cart into acound)
Impulse store 9,99 USD
prices in cart 7.04002 GBP
Bill from paypal 7,96333 EUR
Total paid in USD 9,99 USD (Like advertised!)
but i think Impulse store should use the same prices in the product lists and cart, and these should be both in USD or BOTH in someone's regional currency.
And telling us that you can't make up the prices because the local publisher handels the prices isn't going to work, i've bought the games from Impulse driven why is it then always ecaxtly EUR=USD?
when you are going to the pub get yourself something to drink for 2 USD (like advertised.)
and when you give them 2 USD the say that they want 4 USD because the price in some other café is 4 USD. WHAT SHOULD YOU SAY THEN? right! KEEP YOUR SHIT!
meanwhile i'm looking forward to play dawn of war 2, only 5% left to download.
thats right, i'm back to illigal downloaded games and music, i rather use illigal software then get ripped of by a company that advertises themselves as a company that listens to the customers needs with their fake bill of rights, pretending to be some kind of breakthrough in the software market.
But stil I think impulse is a great program with very good features (comming updates)
im looking forward to the upcomming impulse updates. The release of the great Sins of a solar empire expansion. And ofcourse the beta 3 of Demigod.
