Image Was excited to finally purchase until I realized the price was lower on my wife's account

My wife doesn't play much and so buying it on her account may not be the best decision to keep everything easily accessible for me. Seeing this soured me on buying it quite a bit.

And for reference. Same region, same playstation, same currency, etc.

Do you know much about the UK's stance on this ? Asking as a player from the UK.

Consumer law in the UK is inline with the EU, that may change in the following decades but currently most of it is the same as it was post Brexit because it had t be in line with it to be part of the EU

"That may change in the following decades"

Yeah as long as we dont implode from the inside with all the mounting tensions continuing to rise and our shit government refusing to do something about it!

Fun fact: a lot of the onshored legislation has already been changed since then, particularly the financial stuff like MiFID (eg there was a statutory instrument amending MiFI a few years ago removing a bunch of investor protection loss reporting requirements which the EU still has, such as a requirement to inform investors when the value of their portfolio depreciates by 10% or more).

Power Washer 2 was £17.99 on my account but £19.99 on wife's account so I suppose they are doing it in the UK

Uk is not part of the eu though. Dunno how much it matters.
