It's higher now, more like 1 USD is around 1200 (black market rate, the 'real' value) The problem per se is not that the store is in USD now, but that during the transition many games abandoned regional pricing and set their prices to the default, which is the american value. So for example the game Jedi survivor is now listed at USD70, and with taxes it comes around to ~USD110. I'm working full time as an accountant, and that's a third of my monthly salary, which is completely unaffordable.
