As an Australian player i payed a total of $35 for expansions 1 & 2. Just about the same as what American players paid, even with my countries taxes and exchange rates etc.
So my big grumble is: why do Australian players have to pay nearly 100% of the price Americans are paying, for the third expansion?
It almost feels like discrimination for bungie to turn around and decide that all of a sudden, Australia will be paying much more than Americans for the 3rd DLC. And i hear the UK players have it even worse off. And thats not even getting started on the collectors edition.
Now mind you the american price for the 9 CE trinkets is $20, witch some people are already claiming is exorbitant. Well over here in Australia its a whopping $50 (FIFITY! DOLLARS!) for 9 -blam!-ing trinkets! And again the UK has it worse... SMH bungievision.
Anyway all in all the AUS TTK CE package is a total of $120 (bringing day 1 AUS players grand total spent on the game to a monstrous $255AUD). And the USA TTK CE package is priced at $60 (bringing the day 1 USA players grand total to $140USD).
So if i decide to buy the CE edition here in Australia (don't worry I'm definitely not) ill be paying nearly 100% more than Americans are for the same content. And in my opinion thats some pretty disgraceful business.
Got anything more to add? Or just want to correct me on something i got wrong? Feel free to comment below :)

Welcome to CEO logic.

That title grabbed my attention fast as hell lol

Actually when you use the correct mathematics for the respective releases here, not taking into account a season pass :Vanilla+TDB_+HoW+TTK:CE it will come to $217USD, when the exchange rate is all said and done that's how much Aussies will have paid. -blam!- that.
-
Because -blam!- YOU! Give me money!

You guys should have the same price as us. Especially since there is no shipping involved.

I'll support your country of convicts by not playing the 7th and by not buying ttk.

Edited by gallp13: 7/6/2015 11:47:25 AMHey Spezs fellow Aussie here - feeling your pain - one slight correction - it's Activision who sets the prices. The facts are in the contract - link above to save you searching about. EDIT : Nice headline btw :)

255 isn't nearly double 140. Learn to math? Yes we know Bungie has screwed year 1 players in the backside without lube with the The Taken King "expansion" (we all know it's really only DLC sized).
-
But why would pay 120 when day 1ers can download the DLC for 40 (not to sure about the price, still unavailable on psn in Australia) You don't need TTK CE $120 pack
