Destiny: Taken King DLC $70 AUD BULL$H!t
I am finding it hard to understand why Australians are being overcharged for the DLC, $70 really?!!! There is clearly not as much content in it as the base game (which lacked a lot of content also). I don't see why dlc that is built on a already developed game engine and re-using assets (u can clearly see them in the trailer and vidoc) is $70. We Australians are not the only ones, in the UK it is £40 which is also ridiculous. I bet most of the team is also working on Destiny 2 by now, so u would have a much smaller team working on this dlc which means in total the development cost of this dlc is no where close to the price of a full game. I will also mention I still think it's insane that Xbox gamers are paying the same price for less content. Even the american price is over the top but of course some people think its worth it (the americans I speak to on xbox live) and are gonna buy it then in a month they will be complaining about how bad it is. Before anyone says "I can afford it so who cares" or "If u cant afford it then maybe u should re-evaluate your financial situation" it has nothing to do with if u can afford it or not it is about the fact that u are getting ripped off and accepting it. I just hope a lot of people will be voting with their wallet to get shit like this changed, I know I will be.

1 ReplyThe $70AUD price tag for this expansion is definitively unjustified, particularly in regards to a digitally distributed product such as The Taken King. Even if you take into the account the [b]current[/b] exchange rate (not the rate when the game was originally put into pre-order, which was significantly higher) it's still not even close to the price it should be retailing for. If I can pay the same price at my local games retailer for full content, newly released titles such as The Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight, there is clearly something very wrong with your pricing model in Australia. Bungie, i've played your games for over a decade, but I [b]will not[/b] be extorted and punished with no reason other than where I live.

2 RepliesEdited by All Skulls On: 9/16/2015 12:09:54 AMDon't buy it. I don't mean that in a smarty pants way, I mean straight up don't buy it. Do not give these crooks your money. Walk away from Destiny if it comes to that, but do not pay a premium for a digital product. There's no embargoes or anything, it's straight extortion. And to you unhelpful ones... I actually do understand what $70 AUD is. Perhaps people in the US could imagine it more clearly if I was to charge my Canadian and all commonwealth countries the equivalent of $40 CAD, but for my special Americans... nah I'd like you to pay double that. You can pay the equivalent of $80 CAD. Why? Because I can. If you're ignorant to this or are not in the same situation then just be quiet. Go share your thoughts about something you do understand.

I'm from the U.S.A. and even though it is $40, I'm still not getting it because of moral principles of screwing us over as much as possible. Is there a way to change your location on your console to pretend you are in America?

1 ReplyI'm here in the U.K and it's ridiculous! $39 for Americans yet its £39 for us. So essentially the yanks are getting it for half the price as the rest of us. Ps, I'm actually moving to Sydney next month and I'm bringing my xbox one over. All the games on my system won't be region locked will they?
