I think its a great shame for people in the USA and I think LFS should look at changing their pricing policy for USA people so the game is more reflective of the current exchange rates with Europe.
For the Euro people I think the game is a very good price, especially considering the support, the way the game runs, the online LFS world and how you can check everything. It's a great community and the game is one of the best driving games i have played.
One thing though, i think LFS should look to replicate the F1 tracks or more real tracks!
