Wow, I get trying to defend Destiny and it's pricey DLC on the official Destiny forums, but I barely scrolled down and see all these overly defensive comments for the Taken King DLC calling the OP a poor person or a whinny kid just because he thinks $40 for TTK is too high. News flash to those people, it kinda is, and it's only more expensive in other countries (or at least Australia). I like Destiny, but shit, I wouldn't defend the game that much.

I agree with it being over priced in other countries but that is due to laws that the company cannot bypass. I'm not much of a smart guy when it comes to tariff and the othr stuff that foes with importing

It has 0 relevance with any laws in our countries. I double checked it with my countries tax office. Bungie doesn't pay tax here , Bungie doesn't have any additional expense as they are selling digital content here , Bungie doesn't have to pay to US for selling digital content to Non US Countries. This is all related to Bungie and Activision price strategy nothing further. We are getting screwed up big time.

That may only be the case in UK , it is NOT the case in my country I suggest you to speak only in your country specific. Keep it in mind it is also different in Netherlands ;)

If you're AUS they have a tax called GST or as dubbed to some as "Netflix Tax". That is similar to the VAT tax of EU And there are others in other countries http://www.afr.com/news/policy/budget/budget-2015-push-for-exemptions-to-joe-hockeys-1b-netflix-tax-20150426-1mtd7d
