The platinum sale is now on!

Except for the UK where the so called 'Sales' is actually the price each selection was before the sale. 30 plat has always been £2.99.

Is this a mistake or are you trying to trick us? :(

Zamu is in the united kingdom. They don't use the us dollar there. The exchange rate translates into $4.99 us dollars = £2.99 british pounds. Give or take a bit as the currency exchange rate fluctuates on a daily basis.

So the £2.99 plat pack is still £2.99 when it should have been reduced by somewhere around 25%. Not sure of the exact percentage since I'm half asleep right now and I didn't write down the pre- sale price.

Hmm strange I live in the UK and I was able to get the reduced offers yesterday. They didn't appear straight away for me after the update but when I tried again a few hours later they had appeared.

30 plat is still 2.99 for me. What was the price for you Vildax?

I just tested it out, The real price of the sale comes up when you select the pack. But when you can see all the selections, they have the standard price as the so called 'sale' price, with a higher price that they never were, crossed out above. Probably a typing mistake. But yes you can get the discount, you have to select the choice then the real price comes up.

Yeah the price is shown in dollars even if you are located in the UK but when you click on each option it shows you the corresponding value in pounds as you've just found out.

e.g
30 Plat Pack regular price- UK: £2.99, USA: $3.99
30 Plat Pack sale price - UK: £1.99, USA: $2.99

Therefore the confusion arises when you misread the dollar sign as a pound sign making you think it's the same value as before the change, if that makes sense.
