I was very upset when I found out I had to pay an extra $5 for this game...I also noticed a lot of other games were $64.99...
Does anyone know why?

i dont care, your complaining over 5 dollars! I'm stuggling for cash too but seriously its 5 bucks! Borrow it or somthing.

And if your trading in that many games, you easily have enough with money to spare.

Is it a new release? Games are extremely pricey when just introduced. They get lower in price later on in the year.

65 U.S. dollars = 40.3451058 British pounds, most new games have a £40-45 RRP in the UK, and you're complaining?

In that case I am shocked and appalled.

If you don't make any money, you should not be buying video games.

Because that extra 5$ is a "awesome game tax" and I'm fucking glad to pay it.

Also blame pirates

No, they're 60 dollars.

Then those D-bags at Best Buy pulled the wool over my eyes.

Actually the price of video games are very regulated. They never really go up or down in price because of the currency, but how much work is put onto the disk.

They did the same thing when i preordered gow2,it was like 76 bucks i think,but they didn't have a tax on the receipt itself,it was just:

subtotal: 76.00

tax is supposed to be here but instead there was nothing

total: 76.00

so most likely the extra 5 bucks is the tax,so get over it.

It might be cheaper if you buy it off steam.
