Can Someone Explain This To Me Please? TTK UK Price

Can anyone shed some light on how these money grabbing f**ktards at Sony, Bungie and Activision can justify charging UK players £75 which at today's rate is $119 yes you read that right, $119!!! for the EXACT same content (Taken King Digital Collector's Edition) our friends on the other side of the pond are getting for just £50, that's $80! I don't care what they say but there is no way on God's earth they can possibly think this is acceptable. I could barely stomach the logic when they charge $40 and £40 for the digital Taken King expansion ignoring every exchange rate that is known to man but this just takes the piss! How much longer can this really go on for? Sony's PSN store prices are already ridiculous as it is but every year, especially when Activision is involved, it gets worse!

    Dw man, you can buy TTK for £40, and the legendary edition is only £2 more. Bungievision are so thoughtful, selling an expansion for the same price as a full game. Bethesda with fallout 4, now they are stupid thinking they can get away with charging as much as TTK for a full game. #-blam!- Bungievision

                • Don't pre order disappointment. Wait for reviews otherwise they will just assume it's good to go and no further work needed.

                    If no one bought it they would have to do something. But I have a feeling there are more people who will just pay that price than not.

                  • When activison has a UK headquarters that could distribute the game and negate any import tax and have a more reasonable price for all in UK but choose to still over price the dlc is greedy

                  • Aparrently on the xbox you can change the console to be in America and order it through the american store. That's what I'll be trying out. Not sure if you can do this on PS4

                    • 1) for those who are confused; VAT is what we refer to as a sales tax here in the U.S. 2) I would really like to extend an apology on behalf of the few intelligent citizens of the United States. Most of us don't understand that you have a universal - across the board tax nation wide on purchases. The same shirt you buy in Liverpool will cost the same in Bristol, because the taxes are the same. This allows you to include your taxes in the price. We don't have the same luxury here across the pond. We could very literally pay a different VAT purchasing the same item fifty meters away. If bungie were to include [universally] our varied sales taxes in the price of their products, they could drastically make less money selling the same product in New York versus Houston. To make matters even more confusing, the buyer in the U.S. is fully responsible for all taxes associated with the items they purchase. To avoid confusion, sellers advertise the price of the product, and only the product. We are required to figure out the cost of taxes ourselves. The vast majority of Americans will, in fact, pay a higher price then what was advertised by bungie. 3) VAT is not the only tax you will pay on TTK. This is the hardest pill for most people to swallow. Your country (and most) still considers intellectual property as a foreign produced product by foreign employees who work for a foreign company. The UK doesn't care that it costs next to nothing to mass produce, and less than that to import across the ocean. There is no, and never was a free trade agreement between the U.S. And the UK. There will most likely never be one - at least in my lifetime. You will have to pay a tariff on TTK. I'm sorry, but this isn't bungie's fault for this. I sure hope this clears things up. Keep in mind, bungie will not make more money from you than they would from an American purchasing it in America.

                      • Buddy, hop on the "-blam!- Activision" train and just take a pass on their products from now on like the rest of us. What you gonna miss? Call of Duty 8: Goku v. Superman? That's worth missing. The shareholders and CEOs have huge garages they need to fill with Ferraris and Gold Bars they don't care about the quality of their games or you, the consumer.

                        • I think you are mistaken you are thinking of the complete game + 2 DLC one instead of the 40 pound Taken king?

                                • Publishers do not care about exchange rates. $60 in the US? Yeah, £60 in the UK sounds about right! The PSN store prices are ridiculous. It's like Sony are actively trying to stop us from going digital. Digital products should never cost more than a physical product.
