I've been pretty vocal about how the new expansion has shafted the year one gamer. But if I was to be perfectly honest the price is the major issue here. I don't deny bungie has changed lots of things and produced some new content and so can expect people to pay something for that content. Here in the UK it equates to $65 USD which is insane for what you get added to an existing game! The actual comparative price for the UK should be £25 Sterling - which is far more reasonable. So I can see why many Americans here say "it's only $40 bucks - get a job loser" etc, but how enthusiastic would those same people be if it were $65 bucks? And although it would hack me off to accept the year one weapon farce, I know I would soon earn (lol) new more powerful weapons and be lost in the fun and frustrations of the new raid So come on Activision - Sort your pricing out. It's digital download, you have no shipping costs - Drop TTK to £25 and I'm in!

  • Same reason I didn't buy it as well (fellow UK player) £40 gets us a new game and TTK is certainly not a new game. Glad I didn't get it though seeing how they have treated people who didn't buy it right away.

  • yea, the treatment of the fans is incredibly bad seeing as what they put us through for the whole of year one.

  • Exactly, it was basically a beta. I just cannot believe they never commented on not only the UK price but other places in the world as well. They can't use the 'content makes it worth it' argument because not only is that complete bs but why do the US get it cheaper for the same content?

  • I feel for you fellow Foreign Guardian. Guardians from AUS have to pay $50US. I had no idea how extra expensive it was in the UK. The fact that it's not the advertised $40US and the differences is not just lets guess the conversion rate for September.

    Makes me wonder if they paid for the "ttk isn't worth $40 it's worth $60" reviews to give the desticles ammo on this subject

  • Hey thanks - maybe we should have our own thread - our crazy pricing problem gets lost in all the other issues and yet may have more chance of being sorted than other problems Bungie have right now

  • I've had one up for a while :) https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/144454483/0/0 Has had as much attention in recent days over the whole lockout crap. Got a lot of replies and likes on this thread,.and about half as much on a reply I made in the Feedback Thread on the same subject. Bungie ignored both instances, of course.
