Uk players will be pumping $62 for this expansion. Once again getting massively ripped of on the exchange rate. £40 is not $40. Come on Activision give us a break.

To get the most value out of your money, you literally need to change your consoles location settings to the United States and pre order a new copy of destiny TTK digital collectors edition. In the UK it costs £75 in Australia it's $120 and in the U.S. It's only $80, so convert that to today's rates and that's $109 in Australia and £51.60 in the UK.. The price of the actual dlc has even more tax for example it's sold here in Aust for $70 AUD and if you convert the U.S. Price of $40 it comes down to $55 AUD.

American here, if it was me in your position I would be pretty angry about it too Bump

Agreed. This is unjust.
-
American here. If true, I do join you in outrage. They need to discuss and/or address it either way. ~friend in America
-
it's quite ridiculous. For me in norway when i convert the currency it ends up being 28.50 pounds.

Edited by WinegumLad: 7/26/2015 9:02:04 PMI'm bored of this bollocks!! Bungie sort Activision out now!! [Edit 1 so yeah just venting my frustrations but the fact that 13 year olds can do basic conversions while global companies seem to be completely oblivious to them annoys me... A lot and while I get that exchange rates change it still doesn't justify the price tag...]
-
Move to america
-
Why does most digital content cost the same as it does in store? Greed...
-
If it was £25/£28 depending on exchange rates it might be a bit more enticing, but there's no way I'm paying nearly the price of a new game for a dlc
-
Do you know what makes it even more ridiculous? I pre-ordered MGSV for £41. An actual FULL game with a story only costs £1 more than a DLC we know very little about content-wise.
-
I'm from USA and highly agree they're stealing your money if you aren't Americas, bump.
-
Move to America.

Just checked out the collectors edition of the taken king again and spotted that they get free access to the new shaders and emotes oh and to top it off three exotic class items with xp bonuses. Grind, grind, and grind some more for absolutely nothing. last bungie made game I ever play.
-
Bungie plead ignorance regarding exchange rates and currencies. Well they won't be taking my wallet.
-
Bungie should change the title to The Taken Guardians...
-
I'm going to simulate Activision. . . . "NO!"
-
Just is unjust but it's unjust to be just just.
-
Agreed, bungie are ignoring us though because they will lose money out of it so they respond by playing dumb "ohh pounds is more the dollars, ooo woowww will you look at that"
-
I like how they (Bungie) havent mentioned anything about this!! Every time it has come up in an interview they either give some general answer("its about the value, not the money") or they just focus on something else and move on! I think it is BS that they think they can get away with it!!
-
Total bs
-
That money is not worth the 2 day content of TTK... Save your money it's not worth it.
-
Certain websites are selling the legendaryedition for £38.. cheaper than ttk stand alone, then just trade original destiny in :) bungie are fools.
-
Better job or don't buy it....that simple
