So Stardock have jumped on the bandwagon?

October 10, 2009 11:13:36 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

After all the adament denials of fixing prices by region, blaming the various publishers instead why is it the Sins bundle (sale price of $19.99) costing me £18.41 (approximately $30)?

I live in the US and the sale price is $30 (it was $35) for the bundle and $20 for just Sins by itself (it was $30). I'm not sure what the prices are in the UK, but it seems to me you're paying the same price as everyone else (at least in the UK and US it seems).

No offense, but I'd suggest you read about the prices of the products a little more before trying to raise hell.

"Sins of a Solar Empire and Bundle
 Sins of a Solar Empire and the Bundle
 pack are now available  for only $19.99
 and $29.99 respectively!"

Two prices respectively, two items (both bundles). Yet you're claiming the first price is for Vanilla Sins (which is not mentioned anywhere).

Its a price fix, or the Email was poorly worded (proof-reading and English comprehension isn't too hard a skill). Either way its a mistake.

Edit: Notice the question mark in both the threads title and content, i suggest you learn how to read before suggesting the same to others.

It's as if I asked you: are you stupid? yes, it's technically a question, but the tone is as if I'm assuming the answer is "yes" and the question itself is purely rhetorical.

Now, I can confirm what Wirespeed said, it's US$19.99 for Sins of a Solar Empire and US$29.99 for the bundle containing both Sins and the first expansion, Entrenchment. Yeah, the email's wording may have been fairly poor (though why you'd believe they'd sell the same thing for two different prices is beyond me), but be assured there's no Chicken Little conspiracy at work here.

The first line is a link to the store, the lines under it are a description of what that link is.

Sins Deal

The issue is the blue line is a little faint.  It is supposed to be a separator.  It should read like this:

Sins of a Solar Empire and Bundle
--------------------------------------
 Sins of a Solar Empire and the Bundle
 pack are now available  for only $19.99
 and $29.99 respectively!

19.99 for Sins alone.  29.99 For Sins and Entrenchment.
