No it won't. Just went there right now. Their listed price is 28.97,
which at the current exchange rate is US$53.00.
HOWEVER, what they don't tell you until you've actually "checked out"
and placed your order is that for the US, they deduct the Value
Added Tax (VAT), which is normally built into the item price. So,
you get to deduct 15% off the above price.
So, the actual price you pay will be, plus or minus a few pence,
24.65. Airmail delivery is 2.09 per delivery plus 0.99 per item,
or 3.08. So your total will be (rounding a bit for convenience)
27.75. At the current exchange rate, that's a bit under US$51.00,
delivered.

There is that.
I'm not sure why you don't feel like you can wait until it comes out
in the US, though. But that's your lookout.
