DLC / Season Pass Unfair Pricing
I would preferably like someone at Bungie to explain this infuriating situation to me... but I'll take offers from anyone!!
DLC cost in USA = $34.99 USD which roughly equates to £22 GBP (Google conversion)
DLC cost in UK = £34.99 GBP
This is a 40% price hike! Yes 40%!!
How the hell is this even legal let alone fair????
This is a Digital Product guys - no difference at all in the product whatever region we are in.
How is this justified? How has this not been challenged in a court of law (I did search briefly and found no evidence)?
I can live with the 12 or 13% difference in console cost that we have (to account for currency fluctuations etc) but a 40% price increase for a DIGITAL DLC? It's just plain wrong...
Quite simply this is daylight robbery.
I know that I could setup a US PSN account quite easily but I don't want to jeopardise the content that I'll be paying for.
I would rather see a fair regional pricing policy employed instead.
