DJ Hero Gets Ridiculous U.K. Pricing
07/01/2009 Written by John Draisey
Just when we thought European pricing couldn’t get any worse, Activision has decided to jack up the cost of DJ Hero to an unprecedented level.
Just as an example, the Guitar Hero: World Tour package (including the guitar peripheral and game) cost 70 GPB. DJ Hero on the other hand has a suggested GBP of 107.99, which translates over to $177.96 here in the States. Oh, and to make matters worse, DJ Hero will actually retail in the U.S. for $120.
How’s that for a markup?

It’s Activision, No one has any respect for them or Capcom anymore because of how they treat their customers. This blows…but I wasn’t planning on getting this anyway..

And they were the ones complaining about the price of the PS3. I hope Activision learns something from this sales-wise. Oh and BTW, I thought of a new name for Activision… “ArtardVision”

yh come to the UK, petrol (gas for you guys :p) prices per litre are more than what you pay PER GALLON.
we get absolutely ripped off for everything over here, would have thought the prices would have evened out cos of the weak pound but oh no, they manage to make it even more expensive in comparison to other nations
wasnt buying it anyway so i dont care
but it does make me worried about those rumours about COD:MW2 being £55+ or something (dismissed it as BS at first but this has got me thinking, (unless the DJ controller is really really advance (yh right))) still dont believe that would happen though
