Why do UK destiny players have to pay more then USA players?
So these are the prices for both country's
Collectors edition
USA UK
$80 - £80=$127
Legendary edition
USA UK
$60 - £55=$87
Digital taken king dlc
USA UK
$40 - £40=$63
The problem with this is the digital version was £27 the other day now it's £40 so I'm not gonna buy it

1 AntwortenIt's taxation set by the UK government. Not exchange rates as most people are alluding to.
-
Different economies, there is a lot more to pricing than exchange rates, it is just how the world works.
-
3 AntwortenEconomy and income rate. The value of the pound has little to do with it.
-
Because there are less of you than people in the states. As soon as the market gets smaller for an item the price increases. It's the same in Australia.

11 AntwortenBearbeitet von doomvshalo: 6/21/2015 9:45:55 AMIf there overcharging then people are going to be put off. Many of my friends refuse to pay £40 for a single dlc, it's bad enough when we have to pay £40 for a game but it's nowhere near as bad as paying for dlc that is usually on disc, it's bad enough that the game lacks content then they want to keep charging us for barely anything.

2 AntwortenChange your location on your device to USA, with a proxy on your internet or something, everything in store will be USA prices.

3 AntwortenFor the price of dlc so far there hasn't been that much content imo. So I'm going to leave the next one and use that £40 for another game. I have loved this game but I'm getting very bored now. On to my next adventure!!!

I think us Aussies have a crappier deal than you guys. We always pay too much for everything, life's tough here on struggle island.
-
24 AntwortenIt's not that they're paying more it's because the pound is worth more than the dollar lol get gud at economics scrub.
-
You would have to be -blam!-ing mental to buy digital games...some games are like £60 for a game you can get in tesco for £40 or less.

3 Antwortenwhy does it matter? do you guys get paid really low over there or something?
-
2 AntwortenYou know this really requires an indepth understanding of economics. Your view only scratches the surface and is very superficial. For shiťs and giggles, google the minimum wage beer index. http://qz.com/174700/how-many-hours-of-minimum-wage-work-it-takes-to-earn-a-beer/ You can buy a beer in puerto rico for 12 minutes of work. Go to Georgia and it takes 15 hours. Why? Cost of living? Wage? Beer cost? There are so many variables and factors. It isn't restricted to Destiny. Also you can google the big mac index. Education is cool Because knowledge is power! Captain planet!

We pay extra so that the Queen can game for free.

27 AntwortenYou have to remember, US prices don't include tax, it is charged afterwards. UK price includes 20% VAT. $80 + 20% VAT = $96. Then on top of that, living in the UK you should know by now that your country loves to charge extra taxes for the most ridiculous things (I'm looking at you door knob tax and window screen tax), so there are probably extra taxes on top of that charged for the content delivered to you. And finally as others said, prices often depend on the strength of the currency, and average wages. UK currency is worth more, and your average wages are higher, so your prices are higher as well. If you want lower prices, go move somewhere like Mexico. Their prices are lower than US.
