If you live in the UK (TTK price)
Being charged £40 ($64USD) for the Taken King? No problem, I've got you covered! Follow this step-by-step guide and you'll be well on your way to playing TTK without being robbed of your hard-earned cash.
[b]Step One)[/b] Buy TTK Legendary Edition for £36 on SimplyGames
http://deals.simplygames.com/p/destiny-the-taken-king-ps4
[b]Step Two)[/b] Trade in your original copy of Destiny for £8>
[b]Step Three)[/b] There is no step three! You've paid £28 for TTK. That's the equivalent of $40USD, the same price the lovely Americans are paying over the pond. Not only that, but when someone purchases your second-hand copy of Destiny, Activision LOSE out on money. The perfect way to fight corporate greed, everybody wins! :D

This isn't a solution, it's reinforcing the problem. You are still paying the price Activison are demanding, it still registers as a sale and further implies that the gaming public are gullible and will pay up no matter what, trading in the game to get the same game plus a bit more dlc? that's not a -blam!-ing win for anyone but the publisher!

3 RepliesFortunately our USAican bretheren add their sales tax after purchase. As an example, a USAican friend I was in a raid with last night has just paid $64.something for TTK legendary edition, from a store, after tax (no, I can't remember which state he is in). That means that the £36 from simply games is CHEAPER up front than in that US state... The £40 that my clanmate just paid on Amazon... CHEAPER than that US state. Obviously this may not be the case in all of the states, but it goes to show that we are not being particularly singled out for being screwed.

10 RepliesI already posted it but somehow it got ignored. But the question is if it has the suros pack

1 Reply£40 for taken king or £50 for destiny , dark below , house of wolves and the taken king

Just a quick heads up, if you order from Simply Games you do not qualify for the Suros pack (Still worth the saving though). Got mine from there on Saturday and found out that in UK it is a Game exclusive (you will notice Bungie have changed the original Suros news item from "it is not exclusive to any platform or retailer" to "available from select retailers depending on your country". Nice of them to change their article two days before release and not publicise it. There are going to be a lot of people expecting it that will not get it tomorrow.

1 ReplyEdited by hmzr96: 9/10/2015 4:58:36 PMIsn't the legendary edition £60 for the dance moves and xp bonus?

2 RepliesFight the power my UK brother, I hope nobody thinks that U.S. American Guardians support Activisions pricing, I think it's absurd too.

I've the steelbook version of Destiny so I'd rather not trade that in tbh. But have Bungie even acknowledged the fact they are pretty much robbing the UK market? Physical = Destiny, 2 Expansions and TTK = £37 Digital = TTK = 40 So for supporting the game we get screwed over :/ how is this sort of thing allowed?
-
Or you can just buy £40 of credit from a cd key site for £35.14 and buy it even cheaper ;)
-
I mumbled and groaned but in end I pre ordered TTK lmao.

4 RepliesTO THOSE BUYING TTK IN THE UK: Where did you pre order from?
-
DLC. A lot of us bought it on PSN. Do you have any answer for that genius?
-
I already bought it from the xbox store for 40 quid. I've got a digital copy of the witcher 3 that I've never redeemed the code for that I got with the console, so I'll bang that on ebay and even if I get 20 quid for it, still means I'm getting TTK for 20 notes.
-
Paid £27 for mine as soon as it went on Xbox store, before they decided to rip everyone else off haha
-
40 bucks is nothing we have to pay $72.95 it's totall bull
-
What's the deal with their delivery times though, never pre ordered from simplygames before.

1 ReplyThis isn't a solution. The company ends up with the amount they are charging and they input it as data that the amount is considered acceptable. Not a solution. They should boycott it, or accept they will pay whatever they are told to pay.

1 ReplyI got mine for £27.99, that's how much it was a few minutes after they put it on the marketplace. For some reason they bumped it up to £40 later.
