If digital pricing was more competitive would you consider it more?

In the UK I think new games cost 42 pounds, right? In Canada we pay $65 + tax (tax is usually  13%) . 

Most big releases are £44.99 usually. Comparing the retail releases on amazon of $74.99 CAD (+13% tax = $84.75 CAD) and £44 (tax included) for Halo 5. $84.75 CAD = £43.68 on XE.com give or take a little there both basically the same price of $44.

Halo 5 is acutally one of the games that has a competative pricing on the Xbox store as its listed at £44.99 for the standard edition and I'm actually getting it digital for this reason and comparing this to Black Ops 3 been £44 on amazon and £54.99 on the Xbox store.

Interesting. So the UK and Canada's prices are quite similar when including tax. I guess us Canadians need to complain less  

Our prices used to be $60 for new game last gen, but this gen they raised the price to $65. Also the tax rate isn't the same throughout the country. Most provinces have a tax rate between 12-15%, but in Alberta it's only 5%.
