true, only for regionally-priced games.

as for all the live exchange rates: google for it there are live results (differ a few cents , give or take)
so if one is curious google for it, bookmark the one that fits best and voila , you are up todate all the way, so its not that big an unexpected event, plus i don't watch the dutch news (boring) or debates of our boring government (den haag)
but i heard that it was going just slightly better so a few cents up/down on the prices was only to be expected.

In the past (good old days) when we had guilders, our currency was very stable compared vs the dollar, the euros well they ..... fill in whatever you want.
Back then at school we learned that the government could 'influence' the dollar rates a bit, it had to do (as we were told)

with gold and exchanges something or so.... it was quite complicated but it seemed they were able to "artificially" "play" and mess with something making the dollar stronger or less stronger, getting things balanced again.

Never understood that part, but thats what we were being told , so it seemed that some "manipulating" went on a lot (maybe today aswell i dont know).

just googled and found something that seems to explain what they did when clinton and lateron bush was president
