There is of course the feeling of a neighbouring country suffering from major deflation of it's currency, making it possible for you to pre-order street fighter 4 for 20 euros instead of the usual 60.

I export games to the UK digitally (don't ask) and the conversations I've been having regarding conversion rates are pretty interesting as it goes along. The rate's now, what, 1.4 pounds per dollar? People are having to spend more than double what they used to to make the US cost of a game.

I'm working on a Master's in Britain, funded by American student loans, and the recession is great for me. Lower £ value = more money from the loans.
