You should have mentioned the inflated DLC prices overseas. Especially in the UK.
Other than that very entertaining post. You good sir put a smile on my face. Thanks.

Thanks man. I didn't want to add any more saltiness this update. I really hope that gets fixed though necause it is screwed up. However, there may be a reason for it like extra shipping costs...I dunno.

Edited by Red Motive: 6/25/2015 11:23:49 PMIt's digital so no shipping costs. $40 = £28. With taxes it gets bumped up to £30. However Bungie are selling it for £40. Inexcusable.

It's actually: 40 USD - 6% US Sales Tax = 37.73 USD In pounds = 23.97 GBP + 20% UK VAT (Sales Tax) = 28.76 GBP If you run the numbers in reverse, you see that UK consumers are being charged the equivalent of $55.63, and that's [i]after accounting for the UK's Sales Tax being more than three times higher[/i].

Oh. Well thanks its even worse than I thought. :(
