I've seen some complaints from British and even some American players that Destiny costs too much.
I decided to look up what the preliminary prices for Destiny are here in Sweden. All prices are including VAT (value added tax which is 25% on games, movies, etc).
Standard Edition. 599 SEK = $88 = £52
Limited Edition. 1295 SEK = $191 = £112
Collector's Edition. 1795 SEK = $265 = £155
Hopefully the prices will be lowered before launch. I remember that they lowered the price for the Halo Reach Limited Edition about one month before it released.

Us in the UK aren't complaining about paying vat, it's the fact they haven't used any form of currency conversion for their prices. It's a straight $1 = £1 on the pricing which is just a farce tbh.
