63 dollars for UC: Golden Abyss? Damn.

(£40 = 63$)


This is how PS3 games are, £40 for a new release here, $60 in US.  Somehow Sony think that a $40 in US being sold for £40 in UK is a good pricing strategy, it is if people are stupid enough to actually pay it I suppose.

I'm hoping the Vita tanks here because this is insulting.


omg -- how many times do we have to have the US prices don't include tax and your taxes are high conversation.  blame your government..


That has nothing to do with anything, games for PS3 and Vita same price in UK...difference of $20 in US.  No matter how you slice it and blame taxes if a game is the same price for both in UK it should be in US too.  The taxes apply to both Vita and PS3 games in both countries.

Not quite - the 40 pounds is already including the VAT (20% or something?) while the 40 dollars is what we pay before taxes, meaning close to $50 if taxes were the same. It's still not equal, but not quite as skewed. 

this,...is what i was trying to say the first time.  it's no where near as skewed as it first appears when you stop comparing apples to mangos.
