I've been mailing to e-on and posting on their forum regarding this issue several times. They are aware of the frustrations they cause, and tolerant of criticism in this regard, but clearly have no intention of changing anything. All I got was the promise that pricing policies will also not be changed when the dollar becomes more expensive than the Euro - as if that is going to happen as long as Bush remains in office... For e-on, this is just a clever way of making sure customers rather than their company bear the costs of fluctuating exchange rates. Well, I suppose you can't hold it against a company that they want to make money. What I do hold against them and find downright misleading is the advertising, which ONLY mentions dollars. The euro pricing and additional costs only become clear once you're well inside the ordering process. If e-on thinks their pricing policy is reasonable and fair, then why are they hiding it on their website pages?? The only solution, if you don't like this: don't buy their stuff. I'm not going to anymore. I've had it with being ripped off. But as you can see, hosts of Vue users go into fits of hysterics the moment a new product is released, and buy it anyway. E-on knows that, and benefits from it. The least you can say is that they have some great psychologists over there...
