Why are Harmonix Ripping Us Off?
Why does rock band cost so bloody much to us english folk. I read on wikipedia “On April 8, 2008, EA announced a timed Xbox 360 exclusive for a partial European launch, with other versions to follow later in the summer. The pricing is set at £50/€70 for the game software and £130/€170 for an “Instrument Pack” (only the guitar, drums and microphone); the £180/€240 outlay required for the complete game package is more than double the $170 American RRP, at $375, causing anger among gamers.” So what are they playing at?
VAT and Import Fees. Unless I’m mistaken, there’s a 17.5% VAT assessed already to the RRP price of $375, which would be $65. In the United States, the tax is not added onto the product before sale, meaning in most states after tax, we pay closer to $192-$200 depending on location.
Then add import fees from the US to Europe, and you have a higher number. It’s still more costly than it should be, which may have to do with various extra costs of European content (such as translating the game to various European languages), and certifying the downloadable content in all languages/ratings boards…And the price can seem “somewhat” justified.
Hopefully, in the future, EA/Harmonix can work harder on making the content, and the game cheaper. It’s a fantastic game that Europeans should play and enjoy.
