All these people talking about taxes and import tariffs, you raise a good point. However, the way these things are worked out is ridiculously convoluted, and the average player (including myself) is unlikely to have a working knowledge of this aspect of the UK tax system. Bungie needs to explain how the cost is derived, to prove that we are not being ripped off.

I have two questions for you. 1. How much does a game in the UK cost here on average at release? 2. Do you know how distribution and marketing tariffs work in the UK? [spoiler] You only know the answer to one question. [/spoiler]

and 40 rubleis in Russia? Around 5 dollars

Still wouldn't buy TTK even if it was ¥40

*facepalm* [b]DO ANY OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EXCHANGE RATES?![/b]

Collector edition is the only digital edition available in the Australian XBL marketplace at the moment, and it costs $120 AUD, to put that in perspective thats $93 USD and around £60. THAT IS FOR THE DIGITAL COLLECTORS EDITION, it actually costs less to buy the collectors edition in store, I'm predicting we'll be paying around $60-80 just for THE TAKEN KING and $100 if we want that emote upgrade they spoke about today, I liked destiny but the fact that it is costing the price of a newly released game just for an expansion pack, I mean will this contain a years worth of content? Will I be buying another large expansion in 3-6 months at the same cost? This game went from being something great and a great concept/idea to what appears to be a platform created to just sell us content, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I just want to feel as though the money I've spent is worth it, I purchased the collectors edition of destiny when it was released. The first expansion was essentially trash and added not much to the game. I haven't fired up the game for the second pack yet, but I've heard good things. I'm just frustrated at how much of a money grab this appears to be. I've been an avid Bungie supporter since the original Halo but somewhere along the way I feel as though they've gotten lost, this definitely doesn't feel like the Bungie who used to leave us thank you messages at the end of each game. When you mentioned you where going to see us starside, you didn't mention starside being a dlc cash grab hell hole. EDIT : I accidentally a word

It’s been pointed out to me that one of the reasons Eurogamer presses so hard on the pricing issue is that The Taken King is priced at £40 in the UK, which is the same price as a full game. $40 US there would be closer to around £25 instead. In that case I totally understand why UK players would be upset the DLC is lacking in content from their perspective. I get international pricing can be tricky, but selling an expansion with obviously less content for the same price as the base game is just completely insane.

BRB Pre-ordering TTK from Japan

Solid logic.

Don't forget, it should also be 40 pesos in Mexico. :)
