But the UK gamers are being asked to pay 52 bucks for the same content US gamers are paying 40 bucks for - how is a 30% mark up fair?

  • I didn't say it was fair! If it was 52 dollars I'd pay it but the fact it's 40 they should only have to pay that equivalent in pounds or whatever

  • It's actually the equivalent of $63 they want us in the UK to pay.

  • No, it's not - you're forgetting to take off the 20% VAT - US prices are always quoted without sales tax as it varies from state to state. UK prices must always have the VAT included so to compare like with like you need to take off the VAT from the UK price and then do the Pound to Dollar conversion. So, £40 less the VAT @ 20% leaves you with £33.33. £33.33 at the current exchange rate of 1:1.57 is $52 (rounded).
