First of all, I don't even live in the UK and this bugs me. Second of all, there have been many posts about this before but I feel the need to make sure this gets proper attention. Third of all, bungie needs to make an official response to this. Fourth of all, here are the statistics, courtesy of amazon.
Fallout 4 US: 60$ UK: £42
TTK US: $40 UK: £42
£42 does NOT equal $40
And before anyone says this is a result of "taxes" explain to me why fallout 4, or ANY OTHER GAME does not have this issue.
Halo 5 US: $60 UK: £42
Black Ops 3 US: $60 UK: £44
AC Syndicate US: $60 UK: £44
MGSV US: $60 UK: £41

The real kicker for me is the fact that the digital download was presented as the cheaper way to keep up to date if you've already got all the content. But with the UK pricing it's so close in price to the physical legendary edition that it makes me wonder how much worth Activision places in their content. No doubt this has been said before, but it deserves repeating. UK Physical Legendary - £44.00 ($69.13) US Physical Legendary - £38.16 ($59.98) from amazon.co.uk and .com That's not too bad a price difference, £6 difference is pretty standard in the current climate. Where it gets interesting is when you look at the discounts being offered with the digital TTK. US Digital TTK - £25.45 ($39.99) So that's a 33% saving compared to getting the legendary edition. UK Digital TTK - £39.99 ($62.83) Which gives us 10% saved compared to the legendary edition. The US version of the digital purchase is actually worth considering. Unfortunately Activision math took over for the UK pricing. And that's why I'll be waiting for the legendary edition to fall in price, and I'll pick it up for peanuts somewhere down the line.
