Expansion Pass Pricing Disparity and the Future of Destiny
I posted this elsewhere, but I feel I should post this here as well.
US pays $35 + $5 tax = $40 = £24.7 for the Expansion Pass.
UK pays £35 (which includes tax) = $56.6 for the Expansion Pass.
See the disparity?
It is, at very least, wholly unethical. I cannot justify £35, no matter what. £25, sure. £35? No, not a chance.
We pay an extra $16.6 for living in a different country. Please try to justify that to me. Like I said before, in the UK, tax is in including in the price on the Xbox Live Marketplace, so don't try that either.
After reading up on the leak from reddit, the sheer amount of cut content is staggering, and knowing Activision, they'll charge us for every drop. What they need to do is what ME3 did with free DLC.
If not, then I'm just not interested in supporting Destiny any further, and neither should you unless you want all of your games to cost $80 with only a fraction of the actual game present upon purchase, the rest to be re-purposed as DLC and sold back to you even though it's on the friggin' disc.
Ethics before greed. If you want to be treated fair, you have to fight for it, and in this instance, do so with your wallet.

1 답변OP...if the price of the digital download in the UK is tax included...then is it not the VAT the reason of the increase, in comparison to the US cost?

To buy it on the US store worked out to $76au at time of launch we call it the Australian digital tax and its the reason digital downloads will never take off here. Spose theres not much that can be done about expansions though.
