Signed,
its the same with the other DLC, over pricing is one thing. but even with slight differences in Tax does not explain why we are paying so much more when considering exchange rates.
UK tax ~20% ? i think for digital goods.

US digital goods appears to be 8.41%
"US products subject to California state and local sales tax of 8.41pc; no sales tax on digital goods in California"

[b]US [/b]$40 is £25.39, 8.41% tax , [b]cost = £23.25 before TAX[/b]
[b]UK [/b]£40 , 20% tax [b]cost = £32 before TAX[/b]
for it to be "fair" the price of the DLC would be £29 [u]with tax[/u] for uk. why are we paying 37.6% more money than others (before tax) that's a big % more for no foreseeable reason
