    Price in the store US v UK


    I've seen that the digital download costs, around 9-10 dollars currently, but in the Xbox store it cost £10.56 which equates to 16.19 dollars.

    Anyone know why?

    I agree people need to be paid. My problem is there should be a base price globally before taxes on the price of games.

    It just seems unfair that certain country's are paying a lot less than others for the exact same product.

    I was also looking at the master chief collection and the pricing is very similar on the Microsoft store in both the UK and US.

    Just certain games are significantly at a higher price IE: GTA V .

    Deception - malpractice? You decide...

    Actually what you're seeing is simply regional pricing. When you access the US store to look at US prices, Microsoft is happy to sell to you so long as you do so with a US account. When you try to buy from the US store with a UK account, it automatically
    shifts you to the UK store and shows you the price for that region.



    Xbox Live supports a number of regions and a number of stores. Sometimes other regions have lower prices than the US. Sometimes other regions have higher prices. No matter what, one rule holds true, an account can ONLY purchase from a store with a matching
    region. If you want to make a purchase from another region's store, you must create an account in that region. Do so, an MS will be happy to sell to you.



    One big hint should have been the pricing. If you're using a UK account and browsing the web store and seeing prices in USD or JPY or some other foreign currency, you know you're "shopping overseas" so to speak.

    Not happy right now Microsoft.

    not sure how they are affected in the uk, as the stores on the highstreet use to have to honour wrong prices advertised in store, but the regulators in this country changed the rules and the stores did not have to honour them, once the store was notifies
    of the mistake they had 24hrs to change it to the correct price, i wonder if this applies to online stores also.
