Why is pricing so inconsistent?

    Lookin at the pricing structure there seems to be MASSIVE inconsistencies when it comes to pricing between different countries.

    For example. A monthly membership for Americans is 14.99 (plus $3 tax) so $17.99. I'm from the UK so in my currency this is about £11.20. Now if I pay for membership IN my currency (granted I need an account with ProSieben to do this) It costs me £8.99 with no tax. Thats roughly $14. So if I want to be a subscriber, being in the UK is a better deal for me.

    Now, if we look at SC, over in america its 500 for $5 which is around about £3.10, but if I want to buy it for an EU account, i'm looking at 470 for £3.99 (about $6.30).
