THE TAKEN KING - UK PRICE PETITION
If you think the UK (and other countries) price should be the equivalent in pounds as it is in US dollars sign below. I'm sure most UK players would be happy with a price around £30. I paid £40 for the full game and now I'm having to pay £40 for The Taken King, which has much less content. Why?!
Hopefully we can get enough signatures and Bungie will then address the issue by reducing the UK price or explaining why we are being BLATANTLY ripped off in the UK and other non-US countries. Have they not heard of exchange rates?!
Please sign/bump if you agree.......
Please like the post too so it moves up in the trending section so we get more signatures....
Edit 1: Thanks to the US gamers signing too! Camaraderie at its best!
Edit 2: change.org petition is here - https://www.change.org/p/bungie-activision-price-destiny-fairly-in-the-uk

3 RepliesA few reasons Chargeback for pulling your arses out of 2 world wars Canceling top gear You don't spend it on dentists or good food so spend it on video games Oh and those tea taxes back in 1760ish Penalty tax for calling soccer football Another penalty for the spice girls after all those great British musicians Did I mention canceling top gear?

Never going to happen. Your country has different tariff laws and imports are always more because of that. Also the VAT drives up the price a lot. You want a cheaper game. Have a UK game company make one. Then export it to the US and we'll be the ones whining about our laws and taxes, etc...

Does it matter you're not going to change their minds... Yea it's more expensive but actually gives a -blam!-? I don't. They've not all sat round at BUNGIE and think I know we'll -blam!- the British off but making them pay more, it's probably more well it's £40 as its $40... There's not a whole lot of difference really.. Unless you want to be pandantic and say it's gonna be £28.74? For the taken king... I don't care £40 is less than an afternoons work for months of entertainment go to the cinema and see if you spend any less?

1 ReplyI'll have to pay £40 but if you do 100 hours that 40p an hour and of corse your going to do more than that, doesn't sound bad to me, doesn't matter to you anyway, it'll be mummy's money Won't it?

I think what gets me the most is the price of the digital download, how can something with no packaging and no transportation charges cost the same, if not more than a physical copy?
-
Signed, I will not pay £40 out of principle. [spoiler]Also MGS5 is amazing[/spoiler]
-
Aussies have to pay $70

I'm British and BUMP

Absolutely! Signed.

Exchange rates????? You're a bit of a turd aren't you! Everything in Europe is more expensive than the u.s. Because of the stronger economy! Basically we get paid more, so everything is more expensive, you can thank the unions for all the strikes to increase wages

I paid £28 for mine. Bought it as soon as it was available, and shortly afterwards they upped the price to £40.
