ALL DONE, kthxbai

is it just me or has TSR just doubled its subscription charges? In the write up they say they are changing the subs from dollars to euro, and it will effect subscribers in the USA and Canada, However they failed to say by how much. http://www.thesimsresource.com/news.php?ID=2707here is their old price menu in Dollars and their new one in euro: http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/3614/enskyscraperxy3.gifhttp://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8002/euroskyox5.pngThey have kept the price appearing the same, but changed the currancy. the conversion is: 2 months 9.95 EUR = 15.2648 USD 6 months 26.75 EUR = 41.0393 USD 12 months 47.95 EUR = 73.6770 USD This is nearly double the origional price they were asking when it was printed in $ |

Yeah. For us Europeans the rise in the subscription costs isn't that high, but it's still higher than it used to be. The last time I subbed at TSR (shortly before I found PMBD) I think the subscription price was (when converted to Euros) something like 6 or 7 Euros for 2 months.  God, TSR is such a ripoff! |

Are they serious with this crap? How greedy can they be? I'm just at a loss for words. |

I imagine they're taking advantage of the weak dollar to make more money. Greedy little fucks...

With gasoline prices as high as they are here in the States, it's not a wise move. You'd be surprised how much you have to cut back on spending in order to drive to work everyday. I had to cut out my book money by half AND the *fun* money by half in order to afford to drive to classes every night. Subbing to an even more expensive sims site isn't going to be on anyone's 'must have's' for a while. Morons. Greedy, morons, even.  |

I am taking advantage of the weak dollar myself, but that's another business, i don't run any paysites. They'll earn even more in
Euro. I suppose they'll digging their own grave with their greedyness. What goes around...

*is contemplating sending Thomass the article about U.S. consumer spending being down over 30%* It's ridiculous and obscene when a paysite charges more for pixels than I pay for a pedicure. Maybe Thomass has dropped Atwat because he sees that he and Peggy have much more in common. |

This is Greed. Pure evil greed, hopefully if he has enough rope he will hang himself.

Why would they double the price when it's a COMPUTER TRANSACTION? I can understand if the price goes up for something real on Amazon, but I fail to see what circumstances would force them to jack up the price, except greed. What bullshit reason is TomA$$ giving for the price hike?

This is clearly bullshit, but on the other hand... Think of how much more easily people will be converted to the Tao of PMBD when they see that price has gone up considerably, but quality doesn't reflect the price. Maybe the time will come soon that the only people who subscribe to TSR are the ones who do so to donate to the booty.  |

Wonder how many younger people here in the states won't notice that it says Euro, think it's the dollar amount, and end up paying double and ever seeing their money again. (or you know, their parent's money.) Not recently, but I used to see people on the BBS talking about how mom/dad gave them the Credit Card so they could get a Sub to *insert paysite here* for birthday/christmas, etc. Wonder how many will get the surprise of 40 bucks instead of 20 coming out of an account.

I feel insulted. My dear euro!
So if the dollars becomes more worth than the euro, they'll change back to the dollar?
What a bunch of fucktards >.>
