Valve know they've done this; as a matter of fact they've laid a few good words about this tactic at e.g. EAGames afaik, meaning we have no chance. If you live in EU, they will localize whatever buy you try to purchase to euros instantly, ripping you off blatantly. They just forces us to pay that amount, whether the bank converts it into euro or dollar doesn't matter.
*sad face*
That said, sometimes paying a little extra is still cheaper than buying it in stores here in Denmark (was with the Last Remnant anyway).
If you live in UK however, there's a much better alternative, which unfortunately EU can't take part of very well due to country restriction (usually the UK and the US. Bastard game companies.)
