I agree. But all Americans are rich, they can afford it.

Still unfair though.


That is the most unright stereo type i have ever heard! You are an ...


I love doing this. Making a post which I know will annoy people and then laughing as I see
the angry replies.

Also, "unright?" "Incorrect" would have been more apt.

Ps - Why can't I stereo type? The amount of times someones told me to go drink some tea or go have scones with the Queen is staggering. Yet no one cared about the Briton. As soon as a stereotype about America pops up though, all hell breaks loose.




Thats the thing if we stop american stereotypes then they might stop making the worlkd a much better place ive been called a top hot wearing tea drinking (censored) but i could them something and we laughed it off you dont need to take it so serious

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

It's no big deal that it's 60 here. Every game is 60 anyway. Believe me, it wont hurt the sales in the US. Not one bit. It's cool you care, but it wont matter that the game is slightly more expensive here. It's more expensive in other countries than in the US. We don't have it that bad.

And please don't encourage anyone from the US to order from across seas. The game wont work on American consoles. PAL and NTSC aren't the same and wont work on the same console. NTSC for US and PAL for Britain. (As far as I know anyway. I think everywhere in Europe uses PAL. Not sure about Australia or anywhere else.)

Every game here is about £40/45 but £30 is a surprise. Not that I'm not glad >.>

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

I love anything political.

only as of the receent recession, the pound to dollar ration was 2 to 1, whereas at the time of games development, it was nearly fair

For the most part, people have been being nice. Don't let a couple -blam!-es ruin what is a thread full of decent replies.

-I know what you're thinking, and it's crazy.
-But... what if monkeys really could fly?

Oh Please! You guys have no idea. In Sweden where i live a new game costs approximatley $88.6 (53.6£). So I really can't sympathize with you guys.

Is it really £30? Last I checked it was £40 or have they lowered it?
They have indeed lowered it to £30. Well Game and Amazon.co.uk have.

Not necessary, no proof, and most certainly not true.

  • 06.21.2009 8:17 AM PDT

Are you sure that is the current exchange rate?

I found it here. That would translate to about $42. So, yeah, we are kind of being tricked.

Well im a Brit (so not stereotypes please) i dont think it is fair that Americans and Canadians have to pay $60 for the game. We Brits only have to pay £30 which is about $45 US dollars. This is a thread just to say that someone who isnt American born and bred cares. So please feal free to express your views!

I thought Britain was on the Metric System and your currency is different from American currency.

Or maybe it hasn't been announced here that its also going down in price. Did you think about that?

I doubt it is though. I guess it was because most Americans are "rich" and are willing to pay any amount for any type of thing. /sarcasm

We're used to paying 60 bucks for a new game so we don't usually care. odd though how the UK gets it cheaper

  • 06.21.2009 9:46 AM PDT

Aren't all servers in America hence this is always going to be an advantage for US vs European matches anyway

I mean everywhere is going to lag no matter at some points but i'm talking about the type of country distance lag when you bash someones skull in from behind on a match only to have them turn around and kill you instead - what's funny is often it's then claimed you were somehow owned with lots of tea bagging performed

Anyway is that how it is for you Americans half the time?

I'm a 'Brit' by the way, which reminds me, it's time for my tea chaps

Have you compared the normal price difference? This is a once in a lifetime thing, usually we're paying at least £5 more than the americans. It makes me :) that we're first for once.
