Dice are being total twats - Battlefield premium costs $50 in the US and £40 in the UK, however $50 converts to £32 which means players from the UK are having to pay an extra £8. AWESOME.

Yeah, total twats... How dare they try and make money.

In all honesty, it's still good value. Less than a tenner per new expansion and you get more than just buying the expansions alone as it is.

Huh? I'm showing that UK customers are having to pay more for no reason. Please explain how this is a legitimate way of making money.

On top of this DICE seems to think $1 converts to €1. If you could explain that as well that would be awesome.

You forget this little stupid 20% thing called VAT. US price doesn't include sales tax.

50 USD = 32.58 GBP + 20% VAT = 39.09 GBP
50 USD = 40.22 EUR + 20% VAT = 48.26 EUR

Sure, they add a bit rounding on top of it to get nice numbers like 49.99€, but most of the difference is because of the VAT.

On that note has anyone managed to get around this by using a proxy? I heard its only $25 in Mexico!

Edit: Do the US not have to pay taxes on it?

All prices in US are generally displayed without a sales tax. Now, depending how you buy your thing one of the following can happen :
1) brick & mortar shop - when paying you will be asked for the price of the item plus all the local sales taxes. You will still have $50 displayed in the shop at the item, but you will have to pay $50 + 0-12% sales tax at the register.
2) sale through the internet without sales tax - you will pay just the price of the item, and then you should pay your sales tax according to our local laws together with your income taxes.
3) sale through the internet with sales tax (company has presence in your country) - same as in the brick & mortar shop.

So in case of Origin store - no, US citizens don't have to pay the sales tax directly, they have to pay it with their other taxes.

Yes, Origin is option 2; most of the US internet sales are option 2. The few exceptions falling in 3 are things like "Amazon has to pay sales taxes in this state because they have a warehouse there".

It is a very messy thing : http://www.inc.com/guides/201103/how...net-sales.html

When you get out of the AMTRAC, it doesn't crash into the ground

Half the fun of it is when something goes horribly wrong and crashes into the ground.

It's always fun to improvise and goomba stomp someone with a Helicopter when it comes down to it. Although It's only succeeded once so far...

Just buy the DLC you want in that case. You might not even like the last two anyway.

I'm personally waiting for reviews of CQ, if its anything like Metro I'll just save the cash and get Armoured Kill and the other two on their own.
