Fact is that companies in general adjust there selling price to what the consumer can and will afford in a country or region.
as Eastern Eeurope is still way behind US and Western Europe in earnings they have to go down by price so people are not spending a half weeks earning for a game
ans almost no copy will be sold.
For example,
You can see on the same site the new C&C3 for 109 zlotys which is about 29 euro's , official price on the web is 50 USD. (38 Eur).
I see the same with other goods , washingmachines etc.

The first release of WITP, at Origins back in '04, did not have the serial number printed on the disc. I do not know how many of these were made (without the serial #), but I do know that the first ones were released that way.
I know of at least 5 copies this way [:D]

We were there first, and we're still here...says a lot for the depth of our addiction. [:'(]
Thanks again!

There are quite a few of us left that were pains in the @ss, asking every five minutes if it was out yet...[:D]
Xargun was the one that was the envy...posting pics of five copies in his hand before any of us got the DD...[:D]

Fortunately, a whole "life" is cheaper as consumer goods are...
I pay about 30 cents for a loaf of bread (and about 4 USD for a kilo of gouda cheese [:D])

Yep...mine was in my confirmation e-mail.

Mine is also separate.
I just registered it in Members Area looking for AE, and everything went smoothly.
It looks like AE will need WITP installed.
For some folks, this increases the overall costs of AE to about 100-140 USD.

Yes, any dealer who legitimately purchased copies of the game and has been unable to sell it at the original price is allowed to sell it for whatever he can get for it. Consider yourself lucky.
It's not a huge discount on the original price (from 19.99zl at Empik to 14.90zl at 3kropki), so I doubt this is a clearance price sale, more like a normal price.

Yup, that's a regular price here of WITP licensed and distributed by Nicolas Games.
