Another thing,
$20 Is about £12.50
So why do UK people have to pay £20 for the DLC?
£12.50 might be justifiable, but £20 is steep for such little content!

Edited by TommyG: 10/30/2014 9:23:26 AMHigher cost of doing business. Staff, rent, commodities and other overheads are all factored into the final cost. We also have a higher rate of VAT (in the UK anyway) It's not as simple as just converting the dollars to pounds. Although I'm not sure how it covers digital content tbh. That one has always confused me

I was thinking the same thing. Isn't £20 like $31-32?

Edited by GOTDIRTXSNOW: 10/30/2014 8:36:53 AMOh ok, and do you get paid in American scaled wages also? If you make £10 an hour and i make $10 an hour, then its 2 hours work for each of us, or should you get a massive discount? Dont get me wrong i understand, i have lots of family in England and Scotland and get to see how they make out like bandits coming here to visit. Plane tickets cost less (in general not just with the currency conversion), and everything is super cheap when they buy stuff here because their money goes farther so i understand wanting to be the other side of that. Anyways, just wanted to point out that its comparative and that your not "paying more" because your getting it based off your economy while we get it for the same price in ours

20 rice for DLC
-
If its the equivalent of what we're paying in our respective countries, then yes. You dont think they would spend a month or years money on a dlc if it was the same price across all countries, do you?
-
I don't think you know how economics works.
-
I do, im dumbing them down for the guy who thinks hes entitled to be paid in pounds and shop in American dollars to understand.
-
Lmao So if a Japanese comes to America he only has to pay 20yen for the DLC?
-
Yes, but it probably wont work in his region so hell need a region 1(north America) xbox. Seriously this isn't complicated stuff. In England you bought your consoles for the equivalent of what we did, why is this confusing

In jobs around the $10 an hour mark, we are looking at around £7ish. There is still a difference that brings it close to the conversion rate. However, more and more, I see products starting to cost the same in GBP as USD, meaning we're always paying more for the same thing. In some cases, it's cheaper to import them...
-
If I go on Amazon and buy an item for $20, I pay £12. 1 dollar isn't the same as 1 pound. A pound is worth more. When your family visit you, say they exchange £2000, they're given $3200. They're not making a profit, just getting the appropriate exchange rate.
