Ok I've tolerated a lot of being screwed over due to living in Australia but this time it's pushed me over the edge!
As of the E3 announcement for taken king I rushed to the ps store to check if the pre order for the new dlc was out, and it was.
[b]However!!![/b] I noticed it was [b][u]$70!!![/u][/b] and at the announcement it was said to be only $40. This does not look like $40!
I know with conversion rates and the newly announced import tax implemented here adding a tax on products that come from outside of Australia and this includes digital downloads aswell.
Yeah all you people are complaining about paying $40 for this major expansion imagine how we feel having to do almost double for the exact same thing.
All I ask is that someone in marketing check this out incase somebody made a mistake and if it isn't a mistake and it's due to this blaming moronic government please add something like a sorry you got screwed on the price condolence bonus to players in Australia (and New Zealand if this effects them too).
I have supported destiny since the original trailer showing the old upgrade system along with the original tower concept where the speaker area is where the iron banner spot was and pre ordered the console bundle the day it was announced. I love this game but it's stuff like this that hurts my wallet badly and I'm a student working a single shift a week at a fast food place hoping to one day create video games and try to work at BUNGIE to help sculpt destiny into something even more amazing then it is already.
The more people notice this post the more chance we can make a difference.

Just as little reminder every time we comment on something they may f*ck people over in the short term but it will always come back and bite them on the arse!
