For $40 and a free copy of Banjo & Kazooie, I don't think gamers are going to be losing too much money.

thats actually quite a good deal that, but im wondering why the budget price

$40 is equivalant to about £20 - £22 in the uk, at retail it would end up as £19.99 new.

if it is a £19.99 game i doubt it will be a fully featured game, however i could be wrong

It is more likely to be £25-£30 as it seems that the rule (at least for Pc parts) between US prices and UK prices is ($/2)*1.5 as it accounts for both exchange rate (/2), VAT (the $40 is before sales tax, the UK price will be after VAT) and the custom extra charge of rip-off britain/europe (against US prices).

It would be nice for it to be £20-£24 but it is unlikely.
