Well, hard to figure indeed what exactly happens here if Pulsedata source a product from Germany, but could well be that they pay in Euroes. Whichever way you look at it, or so it seems to me, many suppliers just seem to see us here in the UK as an easy touch. Now, that could be the name of a product me thinks!

Will be interesting to see any responses you might get. In the meantime, I suggest its just the usual Ripp-off Britain thing again. And Pulsedata sell direct as far as I know, so there is no middle man involved. Same applies to downloads from I-tunes. $99.00 in the US, 99p in UK. Where is the extra cost there to justify the higher price?
