That's a nice thought Nightwalker83, but unfortunately US companies tend to ignore exchange rates for those of us on the other side of the pond.

However, when it comes to Microsoft it is rarely the case - and for MSDN subs the price in GBP seems to be about right for the exchange rate.

I couldn't find prices for Ireland on MSDN itself, but I suspect that you will have a decent price too. I recommend checking the prices from big companies like Amazon and Dabs (who are both authorised resellers).
