Weird views in here. Let me lay down some facts for you.

RRP for the PS4 in US is $400, lets say average VAT is 5% on that, so in total $420.
UK RRP for PS4 is £350, this already includes the VAT which is 20% currently, so based on current exchange rate is $595.
So far not great. Let's compare the UK price to EU price. 400Euros (Germany value which includes tax), current exchange rate means 444Euros. So more again.

Maybe people are right, maybe games are cheaper. Let's have a look at Destiny on US Amazon vs UK Amazon.

PS4 US Destiny is $60 (this is RRP), plus the 5% tax.
PS4 UK Destiny is £45 (this is £10 under RRP), either way it is still $75 or so (worse if you look at Download on PS store which is RRP fo £55, which is $93. The reason Amazon UK is selling under RRP is because every retailer does to compete, if they don't they won't get the sales.

Yet for some reason in the US the PS3 and PS4 versions of the game are the same price, here in the UK there is £10 difference in RRP but even then the PS3 version is £40 on amazon so closer to the US price.


So.. yeah, we get screwed. To think people think games are cheaper is laughable.



Hmm, pie.
