Hello Guardians, as the TTK is out next month I went to purchase the download only to find out this; The cost for TTK is £40 (UK price). This is simply not fair in any way! The US cost for exactly the same product is $40. So converting Dollars into Pounds I discover that us Brits should really be paying £25.36, that's £14.64 cheaper. The download is digital from an American based company so I can not see where this extra cost comes from, why are the British paying so much more? In addition a fellow Swedish guardian said they are paying 400 Swedish Krona for the TTK, which converts to £30.43, again a difference of £9.47. I have had so much fun on Destiny but this economic injustice is plain for all to see. A lot of us must also assume that if the Brits are getting short changed then there are other countries that are getting the same shoddy treatment. As a community we have to not let Activision think that they can get away with this, bump if your with me.
Thanks to Vamporius for showing me that there's a petition at Change.org to get this sorted out. For all you that agree please go and sign

Thanks to all that have supported the cause so far, I have tried to reply to as many posts as possible but you guy's are just too good, so apologies if I missed you. Since becoming a Guardian I have routinely seen how Bungie have tried to improve the game and community in all aspects, this injustice is perhaps just another little part of a much larger puzzle; hence the post.
[b]In conclusion, next time you are in an event with a Brit just understand that we have had to pay significantly more for exactly the same pleasure. Please be considerate by 1) letting us kill you in the new crucible, 2) by allowing us to monopolize any relic/sword or other gizmo that may become available, 3) most of all, ensuring that we always get the most kills and best KDR in any event that we do. These points will help boost our ego's and thus soften the pain caused to our wallets! [/b]

3 AntwortenOnly way to protest is by not buying it. I will not be buying the taken king because it is a rip off. I don't even need to see what content it has because it's already confirmed to be less that the vanilla game, which has minimal content at best. This follows on from the current dlc being absolutely pish. A raid u can solo and a horde mode for 20 quid. I got properly taken by bungie on that one. All in all, I'm not willing to pay another 40 quid for something that's got less content that's the original 40 quid game. This is literally a 100 quid beta test. Proved by the fact they change the way the game works every -blam!-ing dlc. They have no idea what they r doing.
