The price difference between the 2 stores is £36.88 ($56.27) this do not include the price of the game.
That is shocking for the exact same game there that much difference in price. Sony really need to make the price fair world wide. Instead of having 1 country pay lots more than another,

Think I saw not too long ago Fifa 12 selling at £50 while Fifa 13 was selling at £40 or the same price..
Point being Fifa 12 in the stores is like £5 while online it's like £50 who are they trying to fool?

I know my comment is completely irrelevant but It's the UK store again putting old games at higher prices than the new.

Different regions get discounts on different games each month. I would say it would be a safe bet to guess that those games will have the same discount in the other region on a different month.

It is like how they do the free games for the month.....they never match up either.

No dis-respect to your thread and everything, because I think it's good you pointed that out, but I have many different country PSN ID's for these types of reasons and plus free content some countries get is like 10x better than the UK.
