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

    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. [url]http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf[/url] 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" [source] [url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/money-saving-tips/10982132/Why-are-electronic-goods-so-much-cheaper-in-the-US.html[/url] [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
